@typsyflypsy: Pallets weren’t trash, they were the internet’s favorite DIY project. Modern shipping pallets have powered global retail since the 1920s and scaled during World War II logistics. But after the 2008 recession and the launch of Pinterest in 2010, something shifted. Free industrial scrap became viral furniture. Between 2012–2016, pallet couches, bed frames, wedding backdrops, and farmhouse builds dominated DIY culture. When trends evolved, the craze cooled. But for a moment? Shipping waste was design gold. Were you part of the pallet era? 🪵 #palletprojects #junkhistory #thrifter #upcycling #trashfinds

I definitely had a pallet vertical garden, and dated a guy in 2012 who had a pallet “bed frame”

I was into it! I took them apart and built state signs (Oregon) and garden beds. I’m sure I did more than that too! Fun trip down memory lane!
