Key To Flow: pallets - and their many uses

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

I don't know if you have noticed but it is already MID-JULY, this blows my mind but simply means that summer must be taken advantage of immediately. And as life is I will be spending my weekend in the library studying Economics. Yuck.

But a girl can dream of back alley, creative adventures of building and sunshine.

Now, if you happen down any alley behind big stores you are bound to find some pallets, right? Unfortunately they are usually broken or dirty. These lucky folk however have found some that they turned into really useful things. (please keep in mind that pallets are usually made of bad wood and that is why you usually see them broken... Here are 3 beautiful uses:

#1 - The Couch Bed
