20+ Amazing Recycled Wall Ideas

A couple of weeks ago my husband surprised me by offering to take me to a few salvage yards.  

What we came home with was a car full of cedar planks that became my Rustic Storage Cabinet.  While we got all of the cedar planks in the first place we checked out, we also hit up two other salvage yards before we froze to death.

The third place we checked out, Second Chance,  located in Baltimore, was enormous.  According to their website they boast 200,000 sq feet of retail space…but what initially caught my eye were the walls they had up for display showing what could be done with salvaged materials.
