We measured the length and height of the wall and created design for the wall.
We then primed the wall since our original wall color was darker than the new white board and batten.
First step of building the wall was trimming the window. We used a craftsman trim style design.
Next, we used MDF pieces to build out the grid design for the board and batten wall. We started with the vertical pieces.
Then we moved onto creating the horizontal pieces of the board and batten wall.
Next, we filled all of the nail holes with wood putty.
Then we used sandpaper to make everything smooth.
Once the putty was completely dry, we used paintable caulk to fill in all the gaps between the boards and the wall.
After the caulk was completely dry, we painted the wall with 3 coats of white semi-gloss paint. This gave us an even, consistent and professional looking finish.
