I made a bad choice in wording that reply. My mistake.
You have, of course, every right to do as you please with your property.

It may be, in the future, that you realize your choices have limited the amount of available light.
If that should happen, I would recommend a light colored paint on that wall.

That would defeat the whole purpose of doing this if I wanted to paint it I would of used Sheetrock or plywood

If anybody was curious, here's a quick guide to go/no go pallet use.

Also, if you hit up the industrial parks across big towns and cities, it's not unheard of to run across cherry, hickory, white oak, rock maple, and once a really gnarly walnut pallet. The heavier the equipment they ship in, and the more 3rd world the export country, the better the wood you'll find. You'd be amazed what you can do with a cherry 4x4.

My place of business routinely has 100-200 pallets on the back side of the building. I've used them to build 2 patio chairs (that I later sold), and other employees routinely use them for projects. There are a lot of cool things to re purpose them for. I like the look of using them on your walls.

That looks good. My wife always finds stuff on pintrest and asks me if I can do it. There are a couple of times when I was done, I would have rather just paid to have it done.

Wives and is dudes should never go to Pinterest for ideas. The projects are endless but they are fun if you got the time. My son and I did a plywood plank floor. Your wall looks good.

If lighting is a issue look at led bulbs that say daylight, they are bright AF, much like walking out into the sun light they are a bright white light.

My understanding is that pallets are made, primarily, from cottonwood. If you have large cottonwoods you may get a knock on your door some day from a friendly logger ..."who just happens to be the the area"

Advice: Anytime a logger "just happens to be in the area"...do not rush to accept the offer. Call the Oklahoma Department of Forestry to get general advice on the value of standing trees....also my forester friends tell me it is always best, when significant amounts are involved, to hire a consulting forester - for a modest fee - they assess the stand and put out a request for bids from legit loggers....you always come out ahead inspite of their fee.

Most are made from pine, its a fast growing wood and is everywhere, most heavy duty pallets are made from oak, sometimes walnut.
