The tip of the month - Your summer living room in 1 shot of magic palette!
It's summer, it's hot and your craziest fantasy comes down to sipping a mint in the water, fan-feet on your terrace. A small garden furniture would help you, but you find those trade too expensive, not enough green, or too arbitrary ?! If you have some basic tools and a bit of time, you are saved! Here are some tips available to even the most novice DIYers to make your outdoor lounge and small summer bar.
Abracadabra! Your living room in a magic palette! Count several pallets. You will be able to recover from companies who receive their goods there. Think also of construction sites and simply the waste.
For the simplest model of bench, you just have to stack the pallets on 2 rows, and to dress them cushions for aesthetics, and the softness of the seat. For a more sophisticated living room, make backrest and armrests with other palettes. Do not worry, you'll only need a few nails, a hammer, a saw, a meter, a tutorial on the net, a great friend, and if you feel like says a little imagination to customize the basic model. 4 castors fixed under the seat will allow you to move your sofa according to the sun for example.
If you want to keep the raw look of wood for an ultra-natural relaxation area, a protective varnish will be welcome to brave sun and bad weather. Otherwise, opt for paintings with tangy notes that smell good summer.
Also think of the drums! These cable reels used on construction sites can beautifully serve as a coffee table. After a little caress of the sander, they will be like new.
It's happy hour ? Cut an opening in the foot of the drum, attach a shelf ... this is an original bar to receive your friends.
It is not better like that to enjoy the mint with water?
