DIY patio pallet sofa part 1

I have been planing our patio setting since February. It’s a bit early , considering that we had snow until mid April :). So while I was looking at that one meter high pile of snow on my deck, I was wondering where should we buy outdoor sofas, and what flowers I would plant in that big pot of mine.

And the spring has finally came, and we started the search for a nice, loungy outdoor sofa. And we did find some, but to my surprise they where all the same price as the regular ones! The cheapest one, (around 700 dollars) was the Ikea white one. Yes, it was really pretty, but it’s still more than I wanted to pay. And who will buy a white outdoor sofa while having two small kids? Not me. So I turned to Pinterest , and found plenty of pallet furniture ideas. We needed something simple, and here is how it worked out :

This is my perfect spot where I sit with a blanket and my favorite tea 🙂

I found this lantern on sale, and I totally love how it fits in here 🙂

If you would like to know how we did it, and by we I mean me giving an idea and my husband working on it, come back to see the step by step tutorial 🙂 .
