I've been in NC the last week at
my oldest Son's home.
My 2nd oldest is staying with
them as he makes a move
south and starts his new job today.
Seth and his wife Melanie have an
adorable home and wanted to add a
bit of charm and character to this wall.
We decided to try Board and Batten that I have seen on some amazing blogs.
Seth is an engineer and a really handy guy to have around when doing a project.

It is up, now time to caulk any gaps and then a final coat of paint!
I actually painted the wall and
the strips before Seth nailed
them up with his air nailer gun.
We bought a sheet of MDF 4 x 8 x 1/2"and had the guy at Lowe's cut the 1 1/2"
slats for us. They charged us 25 cents a slat.
Which was reasonable and saved us a ton of work!
Melanie wanted a shelf with baskets for extra storage, so that is exactly what she got! :)
We found the baskets at Michael's at 40% off.
They already had the mini chalk boards attached.
We were all happy with how the
project turned out. I think I maybe
will have to do this in my kitchen
this fall when I paint my cupboards.

Wow - it turned out just great. I like the shelf you added too for some storage baskets. What a great project. It really adds to the space.
that turned out beautiful! I love it with the light from your windows.
Looks good! I like the added storage. Found your blog through Funky Junk's SNS. :)
That is so nice! I am wanting to do something similar in my kitchen - it's on my someday list. Yours turned out so nice I just might tackle it sooner than someday!
What a difference some woodwork makes! It looks fabulous! Love the baskets, too!

That is beautiful! I especially love the shelf on top with the baskets.
This turned out great. And I love the baskets. Cute and practical. Came by from Under The Table & Dreaming. :)
Great job - very nicely done! It really adds an elegance to the room!
That looks amazing. Makes a huge difference in the room. I've been wanting to do that in my dining room for years now, I'll have to take the plunge and get started on it.
Love the board and batten and the shelf is perfect! Looks like it is right out of a catalog! Fantastic job! Just wanted to let you know I featured this today! Thanks so much for joining the Sunday Showcase Party! I greatly appreciate it. Hope you have a wonderful week! Stephanie Lynn
Gotta love the family that dreams up a project and pulls it together as a family.
Nice to know Lowes would do the slats so reasonably priced.
Great custom look.
Looks AMAZING!!!
