Mum shows how she made a hotel-worthy day bed for her patio using old pallets
A MUM has revealed how she made an amazing outdoor daybed using old pallets - and it wouldn’t look out of place at a hotel.
Taking to the Facebook group she shared snaps of her amazing project that cost her just £70.
The mum used the old pallets for the frame of the bed, using a wood stain in slate to darken the wood.
She covered her pillows and mattress with a waterproof fabric to make them suitable for the outdoors and a white cotton fabric as the draping.
Captioning her snaps she wrote: “8 pallets, wood stain, lights, fabric, mattress and pillows we already had and just £70 in wood later 😍
“Pillows and Mattress are covered in waterproof material, roof and curtains are just cotton so will dry quickly.”
Fellow group members were amazed at her creation, with the post receiving 16,000 likes, and thousands of comments from people praising her handiwork.
One wrote: “Amazing this is just beautiful 😍😍”
“Can u make me one please?” added another, while a third wrote, “Love it Brilliant job well done.”
