AK Tiny Home Build (Part 11)- Entryway
Welcome back to another AK Tiny Home Build. If you have seen other parts of the tiny home build process, you are probably asking yourself, haven't they gone pallet wood crazy already. The answer is YES!!!We went crazy on the Pallet Wood Ceiling and Under the Loft where we used pallet wood to finish the back wall and trim out a window.
We keep finding new and higher levels of crazy, which you also call appreciation of pallet wood.
(Below) This is the pallet wood wall of fame finished. We used the wood planer to make all the boards the same thickness of 1/2 inch. We also decided to use 2 inch galvanized metal siding screws to secure the wood to the studs. We did this for a contrast of metal and wood.
When we decided to build a tiny home the first thing we bought was the Cubic Mini Cub. This a tiny wood burning sailboat fireplace made in Canada and is one of the cutest things you will ever see.
If you are building or have a small structure that you need to heat I would keep this company in mind. They have 2 different tiny wood stoves to offer and they are very easy to install. Plus their customer services is very helpful.
WE LOVE OUR CUBIC MINI CUB!!!! .....can you tell?
To stick with the re-used theme, we decided to put some scrap metal siding at the top of the wall to help reflect light that comes through the window. Below that we put 3/8 inch tongue and groove bead board.
To finish it all off we added some old license plates for a heat shield and used another piece of pallet wood with antique coat hooks.
If you have any questions or comments we would love to see them.
Take care my fellow Steemians,
Brandon

I just found your work from @goldendawne's DIY Post! I love the large galvanized screws to secure the pallets. It add such a great feature! I'm going to go back when I find time and check out your previous work...Looks like I have some catching up to do!
Thanks so much! I used to work at a hotel where the decor was northwest cabin slash industrial. This is where I pulled some my inspiration for the wood and metal look. Do it!.... check out the blog evolution.
Thanks for the nice comment,

I love the ceiling and the pallet wall. You guys are doing a great job and it looks awesome. I agree the metal siding screws are the perfect contrast. You two make a great team :)
We love the way everything has come together so far. Thank so much! We are a great team! There is a lot of fun happening around these parts.
Thanks for the sweet remarks,
Brandon and Lindsey
This is really cool! I'm amazed at how nice the wood looks coming from freight pallets! It looks really nice though and I'm sure that wood stove will keep that space very toasty :)
Hey thanks so much! Man ... there are some gems on those pallets!....walnut, cherry, oak... 14k Btu's Woo-hoo! It can get real toasty!
I commend you for undertaking such a detailed and time-consuming project! It is certainly coming along nicely.
We have a lot of fun! Definitely a lot of work but well worth it. Thanks a lot!
