DIY Pallet Bookshelf Triumph

Spending the afternoon trying to finish a reclaimed pallet bookshelf, but the new idea for a wall planter keeps tugging at my mind. I measured every inch, placed markers, then realized I forgot to secure the back slats. A quick call to a friend for a spare bolt turned into a spontaneous walk to the hardware store, and I still manage to salvage the shelf with a creative twist that adds a subtle grid. The mix of frustration and triumph feels familiar—like when I first turned a broken chair into a hanging lamp. I’m glad the chaos of the project still ends with a functional piece that tells a story. ✨ #DIYQueen #Upcycle #CreativeChaos
