What is boho style?

Boho interior/exterior design has continued to be a popular style year after year. But it’s also a style that we get tons of questions about. There are so many different facets of bohemian style and so many different ways you can bring it to life.

Bohemian decor is a colorful, eclectic look with global inspiration. It’s the style you might think of for an avid world traveler or a free-spirited flea market lover, as it tends to be full of an eclectic assortment of collected objects.

Bohemian style features a fun mix of color and patterns, furniture styles, and unexpected decor - along with asymmetrical layouts. Boho style tends to be super casual and carefree, with a relaxed approach to styling.

Supplies

  • 2 Pallets (the same size)
  • Hand Saw
  • Circular Saw
  • Drill
  • Nail Gun
  • Right Angle Drill Attachment
  • Screws (for outdoor use)

Step 1: Deconstructing a pallet safely and efficiently

The first thing I had to do was deconstruct one pallet. I had tried to do this in the past with a hammer and it ended in nothing but splinters and agony.

So I jumped online and learned people use a saw to cut through the nails instead of trying to hammer the pieces apart. This method proved to be easy and FAST!

Obviously safety first! There is nothing more important when you are using tools than making sure that you are using them properly and safely.

Step 2: Measuring to cut pallet top boards in half for easy assembly

how to draw a picnic table step by stepOnce I had one pallet deconstructed I needed to cut 2 pieces of wood (that were the pallet top) in half lengthwise. (Like a hotdog.)

The gaps between the boards on the other pallet were too small to put one of the pieces of wood there without cutting them in half first.

To do this, I measured to the middle of the board from the pallet I deconstructed, then marked a line down the middle connecting the dots as a guide.

Step 3: Cutting boards in half with a circular saw

After the two boards were marked I took them to the sawhorses and cut them in half with our circular saw.

Step 4: Using a nail gun to filled in the gaps of the pallet

Using a nail gun to filled in the gaps of the palletOnce the boards were cut in half I took those pieces and filled in the gaps of the other pallet.

I secured them with a nail gun.

(Thanks to the chicken coop and my husband I’ve learned how to use the nail gun independently!! When we did the Dutch tulip tray I wasn’t as confident in my abilities, so my husband helped, a lot haha!)

Now that the tabletop was finished I just needed to raise it up off the ground a little bit.

To do this, I took the 2×4s from the deconstructed pallet and placed them on their sides under the pallet tabletop.

Step 6: Elevating the finished tabletop using 2x4s from a deconstructed pallet

Elevating the finished tabletop using 2x4s from a deconstructed palletI made sure that the 2×4s were the same distance from the sides of the pallet.

Step 7: Securing 2x4s to pallet tabletop with a right angle drill attachment

Next, I took the right angle drill attachment and drill to attach the 2×4s to the pallet. I screwed 2 screws at each end of the 2×4’s (In total I used 8 screws to secure both of the 2×4s to the pallet tabletop.)

Now the boho picnic table is complete! It is such a simple DIY!

I absolutely love this table and how easy it was to build! It looked intimidating at first, but it was truly simple and quick! DIYs that drag on for days and weeks can be really hard for me.
