Pallet Decor

When I stumbled across this picture on Pinterest last week, I KNEW I had to make one! I asked at Restore if they had a pallet I could buy. They said no, but that they had a pile of them next to their old store they just moved from and I could go take whatever I wanted for free! Yippee! I was there buying some french doors and an old door for the wedding I'm decorating, so I was there by myself with a truck. I'm nothing if not determined, so I went over there and loaded that dirty, spider-filled thing all by myself! I tried to just hose it off, but it didn't do the trick. My hubby was nice enough to get out his power washer and spray it off yesterday. The two inside boards on each side were originally in the middle of the pallet. I pried them up myself with a pry bar and a hammer. Then I moved them over to the sides and re-hammered them in.

Today my hubby helped me hang it! It took a lot of measuring and stud-finding but we got it!

I ABSOLUTELY love it!! I hung up my pictures on it, and it looks great!

I used to have a huge picture of an outdoor market here and I still love it, but with all of my house updates, it didn't "go" anymore. One more thing in my big yard sale pile! I re-hung my candle holders and bought some white tapers to replace my orange ones that matched the picture. I hope you like it...I am totally in love!
