Hello, y'all :) Glad to be back! I can't do anything with this kind of weather here in New York! Geez, I hate winter!! Haha Anyways, How was your New year's, guys? Your Valentine's day, perhaps? Hope you guys had a blast!
I'm here for my February post since I can't really do stuff these past few months because of our brutal weather conditions! Like seriously. I'm ready to move down South, where it's always sunny!!
Our project was to add board & battens to our main entrance.
This is what our entrance looked like before:
Here you can see we put up the molding for our top rail and then worked our way to put the vertical battens. We put up the top rail higher than the traditional 40". We did ours at 44".
We didn't add the "boards" since our wall is smooth (not textured). As you can see in the pictures, we used our existing drywall. (and saved us some money!) We chose to space our battens 17 1/2" apart so our nails would go into the studs.
Here I painted the walls gray owl (Benjamin Moore) like the one from our Living room. The next step was to paint the board and battens! I used Behr's Polar bear (white) paint. (super glossy)
And I added some pictures & art gallery to give it some style.
There you go! It was an easy upgrade for our home without breaking the bank, and there was no need to hire a professional because it was surprisingly easy! :) It is now more inviting to walk into our main entrance.
Thank you all for reading! Have a good day!
