Hello everyone,
Our master bedroom was in desperate need of an overhaul. The main wall had a large mural (of Wrigley Field) on it at one point and the bank, that was selling the house, had the painters paint OVER it. The seams were bad and the paint had run and drip marks everywhere. I made the comment to my wife, that we should just put pallet wood over it. Let the project begin!
So, here we are. We prepped all the walls and installed 4) LED 3" can lights with a dimmer switch. Word of mouth, and perfect timing, allowed for me to acquire more than 30 pallets to dismantle. I planed all of the boards and ripped them on the table saw to provide clean edges for uniformity in most of the rows. For the light switch cover, I cut a section of the wall board out and routed the back of it out and glued magnets into it to hold it to the switch.
We chose the best looking boards for the upper section and then we stained a few random boards towards the bottom to keep the color similarity. I used brad nails and glue to attach the boards. After the install was done, we put on 3 coats of water-based poly.
Enjoy!

Great creative work! I've been a carpenter for 30 yrs now and I've learned if I keep my eyes and ears open there is always something new to learn. Great people doing artistic, imaginative work! what's not to love about that? What I saw here was inspiring!!!

Thanks Mark! We love it and the colors of the decor really work well with the wood tones.
I love it. I always dreamed of having this in my house. First I need to have my own house, then I will make it 😁
Well done guys! That looks so awesome! It's nice to see that even though something takes a little thought planning and some elbow grease, it's still worth the effort to see something that looks so nice!
Exactly! Thank you very much! We still love it and it is a popular favorite for friends and family that visit.

Nice, very inspirational.
Thank you!
Nice job Casey! Doing 1 living room wall that way. Thanks
Awesome! After two years it is still as nice as the day we finished it. No issues with wood movement or anything! Good luck!
czcams.com/video/BXvbw0HFtds/video.html
Casey the wall looks awesome! I've thought about doing this in our home except we were going to paint it white. Couldn't muster up the courage to do it, after seeing this I need to reconsider haha
Hey there! It was definitely a big job but we absolutely love it! Painting it would be awesome as well. It feels like an oasis in our house and added such a great ambiance to an otherwise boring space. Thanks and hope that you take the plunge and do yours! Good luck!
czcams.com/video/BXvbw0HFtds/video.html
Amazing work!
Thanks for watching!
out of curiosity, how will it look like after a few seasons of heat and cold? the wood wants to expand and contract so when you butt them that tight how bad will it start to buckle?
Ya'll have the same hair cut. coooooool.
Great Job!
Thanks Kelly! 👍🏻👍🏻
great job, turned out beautiful. you 2 killed it. ive been dismantling pallets for about 2 months now periodicaly and the plan is to do the same thing in my house too. I got some helpful tips from watching your vid. ty for sharing
Thank you Robert! WE had a lot of fun doing it and watching it unfold. The beauty is, that you can make it however you want. We chose to plane the wood to clean it up and show the grain. I hope yours turns out awesome as well! Thanks for watching.
Robert Piatt rffffffffffffd
Robert Piatt dddddddd
Well done 👍 👍 👍
Thank you very much!!! 👍🏻👊🏻
This looks fantastic! We sure wish we had a plainer for the 180 boards we used on our pallet wall haha!
Oh boy! Yeah I bet that was a long process! Did it turn out the way you wanted?
CReeves Makes We ended up just keeping our boards rough but we love the look. It turned out even better then we expected especially because we had no idea what we were doing haha! We have a video on our channel of the process if you want to check it out! But yeah we are super happy with how it turned out 😀
Precioso trabajo
Thank you Gemma!
You rock!
Thank you! We love sharing what we do!
Great Job
Thank you very much Ray!
I was going to use tongue and groove until I seen this beautiful wall. WOW!!! Thank you guys

Thanks for watching!
Great creator
Thank you very much! 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow beautiful, i like you creativity
Thanks! We love our wall!
In Ibiza rooms are usually dump. Does wood walls improve the inside climat sensation? Thank you so much for your answer.
super robota !! polska pozdrawia
Muy buen trabajo, 👍👍
muchas gracias!
Those can lights make such a big impact on the wall, freakin love it! Nice work man
Thank you Daniel! I am glad I added them. They really set the wall off. I also added a dimmer.
I like the wood to be natural looking. Nails and all...
That's my style....
Hey nothing wrong with that! That was our original plan but then I planed one board and that was all she wrote! 😆
Молодцы красиво супер
Just what I had in mind!! Really good job! Neat and perfectly explained. Whats the name of that sander? Thats what im missing lol
Thank you! By sander do you mean the planer? Its the Ridgid R4331 model.
Good job
Thank you very much!
Good Job
Thank you Fred! We still love it and it looks as good as the day we did it.
I love it!!! Thank you for it video.. We are plan build like that in our bedroom.. What do you use color? this is oil or stains?
Hey there Adam, we just used Minwax Dark Walnut, Driftwood, and Weathered Oak mixed to our liking. We only stained about 8-10 boards in this whole wall. Everything you see is pretty much the natural wood color and grain. Then we applied 3 coats of Polycrylic to seal it all up. Thanks!
Beautiful, Thanx for inspiration. Great job. One more thanks from Slovakia. 😉
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
Very nice
Thank you very much!
VERY GOOD
What brand and color stains did you use? I love the lighter tones over the darker tones. Great job guys!
I just mixed some old stains that we had left over. Nothing too drastic, just more natural and light browns. Most of this wall is all natural wood tone with clear water based poly over it. Thanks!
Great job! Agree with others that the recessed lighting really makes the wall shine. What was the last thing you painted on the wood. Was it a wood lacquer or something?
Will Mendez We used a water based polyurethane to seal the wall. We put on 3 coats with 220 sanding in between each coat. Thanks!
Hammer idea! Something like my wall lamp is built! Greetings Mr.Handwerk :)
Thanks Mr Handwerk!
:)

Magnifique
Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻
This looks really good job well done. Do you think this would work on a ceiling
I would also glue them if you are doing a ceiling. Just in case! 😝
I like that!
Thanks!👍🏻
Thanks!👍🏻
Awesome work 👍👍👍 I just wanted to know what did you use wood stain or just waxed it.
Brinder, sorry for the delay! I used Minwax Polycrylic to seal the wood after we put it up. Some of the boards got regular Minwax stain.
Great work! How did you attach the paletts to the wall? Newbie question I know!
Hey no worries! Your question is perfect. I used 2” brad nails along with some random spots of liquid nails. I marked out all the studs and added brad nails where ever I could.
Looks great!! Can the dry wall tear cause of all the weight to it?
Not at all. I nailed these all into the wood studs behind the drywall.
Bravo👏👏👏👏👏🆒👌!!
Thanks!
Bello bravi 👏👍
Thanks!
Awesome work. Looked like kind of a pain in the ass though.
Thank you! It was a lot of work and there were points where it was tedious, but in the end, we LOVE it! Totally worth it.
Your wall is stunning but I wished you would have given the different types of oil or stains you used.
Hey there Doe, we just used Minwax Dark Walnut, Driftwood, and Weathered Oak mixed to our liking. We only stained about 8-10 boards in this whole wall. Everything you see is pretty much the natural wood color and grain. Then we applied 3 coats of Polycrylic to seal it all up. Thanks!
@@CReevesMakes this recycled pallet wood used, would you be able to use for external use for an outside wood house extension and not leak if tongue and groove? Terrific job btw thanks
I thought about doing this but just buying cedar fence pickets
I did that in my shop and it was cheap and looks great!
what do you use to insta the woods on the wall ؟
I used 2 1/2" brad nails. I only used glue on the shorter boards that were not falling on two studs. Thanks!
God bless America 💚
Great job! Interested about what color stain you used? I’ve been asked to make my sister an accent wall in her bedroom.
I just mixed some colonial maple, English chestnut together and rubbed it into some of the boards. Only a handful of boards have stain. Everything is covered in a satin Polycrylic
I used a blend of early American, English chestnut, and colonial maple from Minwax and then coated the wall with Minwax Polycrylic.
Awesome job!
Hope College sweatshirt? Just curious.. I live in Holland
Yes! Hope alumni! Go Hope!
I'm about to do this and was wondering if there was a reason you didn't just use finishing nails on the studs without the glue. Thanks for the video and any info.
Hey there SD, I did not glue every board. The little spots that see me using glue were when the small board fell between two wall studs. There was nothing behind the drywall to nail to. Everything else was shot into stud using 2" brads. Thanks and good luck with your wall!
What gauge Brad did you use
2” 18ga brads.
since you ran all your boards through the planer, how come you decided to have them different thicknesses?
Hey Jacob, the thought did cross my mind, but after seeing how the boards were looking, we decided that we really like the dimensional look of different heights. Being that all the boards were random lengths and widths, I felt the thickness should be random as well. Call it personal preference. Thanks!
Crazy
What was your technique of dismantling the pallets so quickly? Also are you hitting studs with the nails?
A reciprocating saw and circular were used for most of the dismantling. I used a hammer and pry bar for the stubborn ones. If you do not want to maintain the long length boards, you can just cut out the good sections with a circ saw. That is the quickest way. They also make tools specifically designed for pallet dismantling, but I did not feel I needed one for this project. Here is a link to the Pallet Buster www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR4D17F/ref=asc_df_B01MR4D17F5273417/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B01MR4D17F&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198085543659&hvpos=1o8&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12823570314425868562&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021523&hvtargid=pla-319839169325
Hi, so this work on cemantic walls, would the glue stock well?
Do you mean ceramic? I would remove the ceramic tile first and get the wall as clean and flat as possible. You would need to use glue or find the wall studs or framing to attach the pallet slats to. Good luck! Thanks!
Did you varnish it at the end? If so, what with please?
Looks amazing!!
Thanks! I used Minwax Polycrylic and it worked great!
Thanks! I used Minwax Polycrylic and it worked great!
@@CReevesMakes
That is water based Polyurethane.. right?
Yes, water based Polycrylic
@@CReevesMakes
Thank you for your reply.
Did you space the boards at all? Was it 1/2 in drywall back?
No spacing. It was 1/2” drywall on the walls.
What was the final application you were applying after the board were installed on the wall?
Clear Polycrylic finish by Minwax. 3 coats
Hey do you have a video on how to instal the can lights?
Hello Ericka, I do not have a video of the light installation as it dark and poorly lit in the room during the installation. The lights were very easy to install and come with a hole template for cutting the ceiling. Link to the lights I used: www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-3-in-Brushed-Nickel-Recessed-Gimbals-LED-Lighting-Kit-LK3GBN-LED-LPI-M6/204476617
What kind of stains you used?
How many full pallets did it take to do this wall? Looking into doing a project like that. Trying to estimate how many pallets I will need.
I had roughly 30 different sized pallets and did not use all of them. I had a bunch of left over wood so I just took the best boards for the wall. Good luck!

I also used about 30 pallets for our 8'x12' pallet wall. I only expected 5-6 good boards per pallet and I needed 26 rows of 3-4 boards. czcams.com/video/YSX9awkg2eg/video.html
How much can I charge for this work? Is for meter or wall?
Hi I am trying to do something similar. can you tell me the gauge and nail length that you used? thanks
Hey there! I used 18ga 2-1/2" long brad nails. You have to accommodate for the wood thickness plus the drywall thickness. In areas where a small board only landed on one stud, I used some liquid nails adhesive to help hold the board in place.
Just curious...what was done to make sure the pallets were safe and did not contain any harmful chemicals? Otherwise, looks really nice!
I only used pallets that were in good shape and from a dry goods shipping company. I planed the boards and then sanded them prior to staining some of them and then adding clear coat to all of them. Not sure that qualifies as guaranteeing their safe but the wood all looked really good.
For my pallet wood wall I used what ever pallets I could find. I decided to pressure wash all the boards since I left them all natural when I put them on the wall. czcams.com/video/YSX9awkg2eg/video.html
What finish are you using? Did you just stain and no oil or varnish over the top?
Only a couple of boards were stained with some old Minwax that we had. The clear coat is Minwax Polycrylic in Satin
Thank you! It looks great! :)
