For some time now I've wanted to add a board and batten look to my living room.
Patiently waited for my dear husband to start this project ALL summer and fall... :)
With winter here, his work slows down...AND that means time to work on our home.
Here is our living room before...and trust me...even here it has come along way. ;)
Not bad, just needed some baseboards, BUT I wanted a little more character...drama...wow factor. HA!
So we got started...after caulking, priming, and painting. Oh, I am tired! ;) Plus nursing a six week old precious baby, tending to an 18 month old, and making through another school week...
Here is my living room today! YAY!
LOVE IT!
Seven hooks, for seven of us. :)
Gallery Wall...info.
Above the front door we still need to add crown molding...
You see that big blue column in middle of the living room? I have two of those, and they're getting a make over. Can't wait to show you! White column makeover. :)
We're really enjoying the new look. Now time to finish up a few other things.
For the Love of Faith, Family, and Home,
Our Thrifty Nest

ReplyDeleteGreat job. I've been wanting to do this in our entryway but couldn't figure out how to join the wall in front of the stairs to angling the board going up the stairs. I totally get it now.
