If you like working in the kitchen, a pair of pallets can be constructed into a fine kitchen island where you can do all your food preparation or have casual and leisurely breakfasts with your family.  On the other hand, the spaces in between the panels of your pallet desk will make great storage for your office supplies. If you are into painting, a few pallets can be made into a practical artist easel.
