Honestly, I was at a friend's house in Tacoma last weekend and noticed they used old pallet wood for their entire kitchen backsplash. It looked way better than I thought it would.
They just sanded it down, stained it a light gray, and sealed it with a water-based poly. The whole thing probably cost them under $50. Got me thinking about using reclaimed wood for a feature wall in my own place. Anyone tried something similar and have tips on cleaning the wood first?

Go for it, just check for nails first.

That light gray stain sounds perfect for a feature wall. @the_jenny is right about the nails, but what about cleaning off old dirt or paint? Did your friend have to scrub each board with anything special before sanding?
