Hey hey! How are you? Are you superstitious? Does this Friday the 13th thing mean anything to you? My husband and I actually moved in together on a Friday the 13th so I tend to be pretty fond of them. But a new piece of homemade decor with a few positive thoughts can’t hurt, right?!
And, have you all checked out the announcement I made on Monday? We have had an AWESOME response to the Impossibilities Challenge. What is your impossible?
Did anyone notice that Sherry from Young House Love even took the time to comment on my intro post? I officially have a YHL crush, and it’s not on John. ;) Weekly challenge updates are coming starting Monday so please come back to check them out.
That has me thinking, this pallet piece is 7 different pieces of wood, all hanging from one screw…does it qualify as a gallery wall? Yeah, I didn’t think so. If this doesn’t make sense, check out my impossible challenge here. :)
Anyway, I took her from this:
To this:
She came out beautifully rustic, I think. I like the addition of the wire, albeit, not too much wire. I like the grey of the wood and the cream color of the paint. I just mixed a few paint colors I had together. It’s very similar to the color I used to paint the words on my Mapped Dresser.
Not bad, a pretty good-sized art piece for about $2, and if you already have stencils or are crafty enough to freehand the wording, this baby is totally FREE. 
I’m in love. You?
Update: I posted my first challenge update post here.
Love this one! Is it next Christmas yet?!
hahaha! You could totally make one with some scrap wood I bet you have lying around. So great to see you! I am stuck in Miami – left Portland at 9am yesterday…hoping to be home today. Fingers crossed and all.
I was in with the B zinc letter (I already had the cardboard)….but really karah….now I have to spend the day hunting for pallets in the snow! LOL! I am off to visit Courtney’s blog now!
hahaha, thanks so much kari – and thanks for supporting Courtney too! maybe this project can wait until spring for you.
It looks really pretty! One of these days I’m going to try a pallet project, thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Amy, I’d love to see it if you do decide to make something with pallets!
I’m loving it!
you should join me for handmade 52! http://raisingoranges.blogspot.com/2012/01/handmade-52-2.html

Thanks so much Amy!
It’s rustic but homey and chic at the same time. So well done! Glad to see you again this week at the friday party!
Thanks Jenny! Thank you for hosting!
That is spectacular! Can’t beat it for $2.00. I love re-purposed wood art, and I especially like the size of this piece – something to really take up some space and draw attention in the room.
Holy Cow! Fred, I am so honored that you’ve taken the time to not only visit, but comment, on my little blog. And, thank you so much for the nice comment at that. I really loved this project.

Thanks so much Lizzie, I have an update post going up tomorrow…
I always see pallets lying around but now I see I’m going to have to glove up and throw one into the back seat of my car!
Kelly
If you pick one up don’t think you can just toss it in the basement Kelly!
Best find today! Love it….who would of thought that you could salvage an old pallet!
Thanks Tam, really glad you came by and like the project!
Such a neat idea to reuse old wood. Wonderful pallet art!

Thank you Denise, it was a fun project!
I love it! I only wish I could find a few free pallets. No where around us seems to have them. And I must say I am super jealous of your caribbean home. This mama loves sun.

Love this idea! I’ve been thinking of using some old pallets that my parents just have lying around and now I think I’ll put them to good use. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you very much, I’d love to see what you end up doing with your pallets!
Love it! I have some pallets I paid for out in my garage, and this project is going on the “Possibilities for pallets” list.

Hey Karah! I did something very similar to this on a pallet piece dug out of my neighbor’s barn! I stenciled the letters on and then filled them in with paint. Time consuming project, but fun! And I sold a couple at the flea market this summer, too!
Your’s turned out so cool!
Love it to pieces!! Thanks so much for linking up to Overflowing with Creativity!! Have you entered my giveaway yet?

Beautiful. It sort of has a driftwood color to it.
~Bliss~
Yeah, I think some of the pallets around here have had a long, hard life.
