Scrap and Pallet Wood Wall in Our Art & Craft Room
A focal wall with built in shelves in our bonus room now turned into an art & craft studio for my children and I to be creative in. The wall was made with all my scraps of wood and a few pallet boards.
BRITTANY!!!! I looooooove this! The wall itself is ART - and you have built in ledges to boot!! What a difference from the plain ole drywall!! Give yourself a big pat on the back!!
Make sure you put clear varnish of polyurethane over those old, painted boards. You don't want the toxic lead paint to chip off and poison anyone using the room or anyone tracking those chips to other rooms.
Eco-Strip All the painted boards were painted by me ;-). No lead paint here. And if there was a chance I would have tested for lead paint and/or not used them. Thanks and you are right to mention the risk.
I just noticed you are in Raleigh. I'm also in NC. A little east of Fayetteville.
