If you are on Pinterest, it's likely you have seen lots of various pallet projects. Pallets are wooden squares that are used as bases to ship items. They are usually reused or discarded, depending on the condition of the pallet. For months I have been keeping an eye out for discarded pallets, so I would be able to make one of these fabulous upcycling projects I have seen over and over again. Usually whenever I spot one that is being thrown away, it is in shambles and in no condition to upcycle. Then, one day coming out of Kroger I noticed this pallet by the ...

These types of walls are very popular right now, and it seems like a really cool way to display things that have meaning to you and are creative and cool. I have found a couple more cool things to add.... (ignore the pink borders, wordpress adds that automatically and would not be around the actual print). A DIY eyechart! I think these are so cool.
