Building a wood pallet accent wall in our living room was not difficult. in fact, the hardest part was prepping the pallets with the color scheme i desired. i was looking for cooler shades � grays, white, driftwood.. Here is my first attempt at a diy pallet wall.. With the pallet wall trend, lately, people are now selling their old pallets for up to $15 each. then you still have to go through the time and work of breaking them down. for me, having them show up on my doorstep ready to go made the project go much easier and faster..
