DIY Pallet Wall

We've been trying to think of ways to make our living room a more unique space, with a warm/inviting feel to it. Well last weekend we were bored and decided to take on another project...a pallet wall. It was so fun, fast, and the best part - inexpensive. The only materials we bought were nails and sand paper!

Charlie was able to find serval pallets for free on Craigslist. I think he collected about 15, which was more than enough to cover our small wall. With the help of our friend's jig saw, he was able to disassemble about 10 pallets within a few hours. I sanded down some of them and then they were ready to put up. It was a giant game of tetris. :) 

Some of the boards were oak, which were hard to hammer through. A nail gun would have made the process a lot easier, but we got through the old fashion way.
