Pallet wood is the perfect choice for this outdoor sofa. It's weather durable as well as maintains all the rustic qualities us junkers gravitate towards.

The build started with landing the perfect mattress at the thrift for a whoppin' $10. Then I plunked boards in place attempting a visual.

The frame, made out of heavy duty 3x3 oak, was created, using the mattress size for reference.
Lots of sitting and trying out transpired attempting to figure out the right height for everything. A thick mattress can really throw you off!
The back was created by screwing in random planks onto two support strips from behind so the screws were hidden.
This particular back rests loosely as I desired a TALL variation and this was the perfect spot that allowed for it. She's lookin' mighty stylish at this point!
Imperfections and quirky arms/boards were celebrated rather than bypassed. Eclectic at it's best. :)

A fusion of warm whites were used to dress the build up. The mattress cover was wrapped with a painter's drop for quick and easy cleaning. An eclectic mesh of pillows allow for quick positioning for different sits.
Even the buttons were a DIY project. They are branches cut down with a circular miter saw, then holes were drilled to thread in the twine. Chimed in perfect with the woodsy retreat!
I love the big chunky wood look! Looks great and provides the most sturdy sit ever.
Gotta love arms that accommodate your fav beverage. :)
The random board heights along the back just add to the eclectic originality of the piece, offering a salvaged feel.
The comfy cool outdoor sofa is the perfect place to start or end each day!
And then the troops moved in. Gee... look who landed the sofa. But then we really aren't surprised, are we...

Have you ever wished your outdoor furniture was as comfy as the indoor variety? I'm happy to say, I think I've come up with a way to make that happen. And all it took was some reclaimed lumber, and a little planning.
And you guessed it... after the big build, I had somewhere awesome to rest up before the next big pie in the sky DIY plan. :)
