My pallet wall is my favorite wall in my house. You have probably noticed it is in a lot of my pictures. It just makes such a great backdrop and I love the texture. The best part is it is easy to do and super cheap!
This isn't the best tutorial .... I forgot to take more pictures along the way. But if you are good with power tools this should give you a good start!
The first thing I did was cased everything in. {casing is the molding under the stairs and around the whole wall} Since this is a floating wall I needed something to butt the planks up against.
For the planks I purchased 2 sheets of Hard Board from Home Depot, I think they were about $8 a sheet.
I ripped the hard board down to 5 inch strips and cut them to random lengths. I started at the bottom and let the first row sit right on my base board. For spacing I used the width of the hard board, as it was easier than trying to use tile spacers.
I then just used my finish nail gun to hold it in place. I nailed each corner of the hard board piece. I didn't fill the nail holes, I liked the rustic look it added of leaving them exposed. After it was all up I primed it and then painted it. I used Benjamin Moore's Halo for the planks and Benjamin Moore's White Dove for the moldings.
To finish the top off my husband hung crown for me! I just love my wall!
