Pallet Wall in our Loft


I have been lagging forever on posting something on the Pallet Project (refer to first posting of inspiration here) that the hubs and I did a while ago. Technically he was all the muscle, but everything in this household is pretty much a joint effort in some way or another. I really wanted to wait until I had all the best stuff hanging on it. Then I wanted to wait until I had some seriously well thought out photographs of it, but alas... I am too lazy and decided that I would show it as is.

Here are some of the "progress" shots...




Here are some more "afters"....



And the living room side which needs loads of work. I am really pushing for some particle board and wallpaper. Who knows...

  1. I love it. Did you guys buy them new or salvage them? Did you have to stain them? We wan to add some more wood accents to our decor. Well done

  2. we salvaged a few of them, but then found a warehouse that had tons of them stacked outside. We asked about them and the guy sold them to us for a buck a piece. We started to stain the living room side, but are unhappy with the result. Its a huge task, so we are considering wall paper... hmmm.....

  7. Looking for in expensive room divider idea to create an extra room space. Awesome!!! This looks so good just the way it is! You are way to critical of your idea and the look you achieved.

  8. Hi there! I am going to attempt this project (love, love it!). Can you tell me what you used to attach it to the wall? I have small people at my house and don't want them squished by a pallet wall! Thanks!
