Pallet Wall
I have started at the bottom. Measure carefully. When measuring make sure you end up with full board width at the top, as this determins placement of the first board at the bottom. It is really important that your boards are level. No house is absolutely plumb. It is easier to fill in and finish off any imperfection at the bottom which is less noticible, if at all. I mark place and secure the first board. This way you have a guide and is easy like building blocks.
I have seen it done from the top down.
Either way will work as long as you measure for every cut and make sure each board is level.
You can do this. And do not forget after the wall is complete, you will be hanging art, adding furniture, etc.
Most I've seen start at the bottom.
