After that, I started the shiplap process. ? For this I went to my local lumber yard and had then cut 4×8′ sheets of 1/4″ plywood in 6″ boards. I was able to get 8 boards out of a sheet. I decided to go with the 1/4″ because I didn’t want to have to remove the window trim. Once I had all the base trim taken down and my outlets all unscrewed I was able to start putting the boards up.
Once this was done, I primed everything and applied two coats of white paint. Note: I should have painted my walls white before I put the plywood up.
I had been collecting decor pieces for the reno for quite sometime so once the walls were dry I wasted no time hanging stuff up. ? While I still have plans to build a buffet for the space, I couldn’t wait to share the finished photos with you!
And finally – the full AFTER shot!
