One significant change you will notice from the original concept rendering (pictured on the left) is that I ended up doing a patchwork layering rather than a precise lining of the planks. I've learned it is rather difficult to find pallets with similar lines and wood types, so I had to embrace all types of pallet wood, including the split pieces. But, with using so many variations of pallet wood types, one of my favorite outcomes is that it is texturally pleasing as well. Weather will certainly continue to play a major role in the overall color pallet of the wall, so that should be interesting to watch. If we should ever grow tired of the colors, repainting will always be an option. Vertical gaps left between some of the boards have allowed for removable shelving for the occasional row of candles.I call her "Mod Pioneer." For no money and little time, I am very pleased with the outcome.
For renters with small or large patios, the feature wall may be a great design option without breaking the bank or losing a deposit. Free pallets are everywhere, so have fun and start creating something with them today.

What a great use of pallets! Love the splash of color in there too.
My husband brings home pallets now and then and my favorite use here has been making shelving units (for pottery show displays)out of them. They fit right in with the rustic barnwood displays but they are a little more accessible than barnwood.
I love the finished design! Great job, Scott!
Well, I think you are much more organized than you think you are. Your blog is beautiful as well as very efficiently organized. Your photos are fabulous!!
I'll be back as I'll be following you. Visist the link below: Dallas Furniture.
Sometimes standard wallpaper or interior paint just don’t cut it; these laminate ‘Iconic’ panels from B & N Industries are a great option to dress up a difficult room. They’re embossed with contemporary patterns and are featured in muted colors.
