Originally I was going to tile my kitchen backsplash but the pallet idea came to mind early one morning as I was waking up (as most ideas seem to appear). First, I brought home a few pallets I picked up at a local Home Depot dumpster. I cut the pallets into pieces and arranged them according to thicknesses. A day later my basement ended up flooding and I found all the pieces floating in the water. Thankfully I was able to salvage them. Next, I painted them alternating between 4 different colors. I used paint that was sitting in my basement rather than buying new paint. I then started to lay the pieces, counter to cabinet and used a circular saw to cut varying pieces. I used liquid nail to adhere the pieces to the drywall.
