second fourth dimension to share this flavor
It’sec Wed the 27th… and so it’second fourth dimension to share this flavor’second (completely unofficial) Pinterest Challenge projection (not sponsored past Pinterest or anyone else, simply dreamed upwardly by Katie to make us stop pinning too showtime doing). Huzzah!
And this flavour’sec challenge was the biggest one nosotros’ve tackled by far. We tried our hand at adding just about grapheme with about tardily board & batten in our formerly bare hallway.
Which straightaway, a calendar week afterwards, is looking like this. Woot!
Is it weird that I’ve been sitting on the flooring merely staring at it?
A few folks who had already installed board & batten or wainscoting commented last calendar week to enjoin that pictures don’t make it jurist together with they’re correct. Photos are apartment. But inwards soul it’sec but and so dimensional. It really adds a ton of shine too involvement to a formerly drab lilliputian hallway that we walk through dozens of times a twenty-four hours.
And when it came to how we got ‘er done, at that place’s thankfully no shortage of tutorials on the bailiwick. So equally per the challenge rules, I took inspiration (or Pintspiration, har-har) from a few awesome board-&-batten-tackling bloggers out there, as well as and so nosotros did own spin. Still have close to more than art to hang of grade…
Here’second a rundown of the tutorials that nosotros read before we took a crevice at it:
- This 1 from Ana at Ana-White
- This one from Sara at Thrifty Decor Chick
- This ane from Kate at Centsational Girl
- This 1 from Emily at Decor Chick
We’ll live dorsum tomorrow amongst a full tutorial (including a video of each as well as every pace!). We only accept to get that all together (nosotros were rushing simply to take the photos for this post past today, and so we didn’t take fourth dimension to edit the video too write out the full footstep by footstep tutorial). The adept news is that although the projection took us near the total calendar week that nosotros allotted for the challenge, none of the steps were besides hard by themselves, so it’s 1 of those projects that anyone tin tackle equally long as you lot accept it i pace at a fourth dimension. And although nosotros’ll be back amongst more details tomorrow (and a video of our entire procedure) our full general social club of the steps was this:
- mensurate & get together materials
- grade, grade, too attach the pinnacle runway
- blast together with mucilage the battens
- fill up the woods holes too caulk the cracks
- sand the holes we filled too prime number all of the forest
- paint the forest and the walls below the track white
- paint the walls to a higher place the runway your colour of pick (doing this beforehand is fifty-fifty easier)
As for what color we went amongst on the walls, nosotros idea the same soft platinum grayness colour (Moonshine past Benjamin Moore) that’second inward our adjoined frame hallway would brand for a dainty cohesive too open up feeling (nosotros worried that anything besides dark on the walls would shut inwards the small hallway also much). We really love how it accents the white board & batten upshot on the bottom without existence as well high-contrast. It’second a soft musical note-on-note await for sure, in addition to the dimension in the board & batten adds and then much involvement. Note: y’all can run across in this moving picture that we all the same take to paint the reduce in the frame hallway then it’second pure white similar the board & batten.
We’ll accept a full budget breakdown for yous tomorrow also (all the same accept to go through those receipts!). Seriously, the pigment was all the same drying when nosotros grabbed these later pics for you, so we tin’t expect to sit down down too write up all the hows as well as the whys. But anyone tin can make this! It took a fair total of fourth dimension, just zippo was besides complicated. Thank goodness or it would have been the showtime Pinterest challenge that we didn’t really finish. Haha!
Don’t forget to cheque inwards on Katie, Megan, together with Michelle to see what awesomesauce projects they’ve whipped upwards (they’ll all live sharing theirs erstwhile today too)!
And now here’s the role where we tip our homemade hats to you lot guys too invite y’all to part all of the fun Pinterest Challenge projects that yous’ve tackled in the concluding week (correct along alongside us, well at to the lowest degree almost alongside us).

- where it says “advert” write a descriptive refer for your project (ex: “Homemade Leaf Wreath”) every bit opposed to your actual cite
