Laundry Room Pallet Wall

For years my laundry room has been dull and boring. I'm determined to liven it up and make it inviting. So, I'm starting with a pallet wall.
I removed everything from the walls. It was good to see the ugly plastic coated corner shelving gone. After removing the slop sink, I stud out the wall. The copper piping represents my water supply and shut off going to my refrigerator. I needed to use suds instead of furring strips because of the need to conceal the water line.
I used metal stud straps to ensure that I didn't shoot nails into the pipe.
I made pretty good time getting the planks on the wall.
This part was tricky but I'm not afraid of minor electrical work. Just make sure the power is OFF
Finished! I used the leftover pallet pieces and a dresser top, from a long discarded dresser, to make a sink base.
Several inquired about things like storage, how it looks a year later, etc. So I took a pic today, 4/5/17, to hopefully quell any concerns for the above as well as my safety.

Did you sand and stain the wood pallets before use? Did you have to do anything to the wood? I absolutely love your wall, great job!!!

I may have commented before when you first posted, but I just want to say that I now notice the closet maid shelving is gone and items transferred to the under cabinet storage area. Sometimes high shelving makes more clutter. I wish I could just get rid of 40 years of clutter!

Have a question about this project?
What was that vented, metal, unplugged, silver-looking box that was next to the sink in the Before picture? What did you do with it? This project looks GREAT, by the way!
It was a reverse osmosis water treatment system. It stopped working years before. I thought that I would have it repaired, but when I began this project, it gave me the "courage" to give it to bulk trash
maybe i missed this--how did you get the electrical plates back on. i did a tile job once and i had a hard time getting the plates back on, this is way thicker.
I had to use junction box extenders. They can be found in the electrical section.
