I started by measuring the space between the chair rail and my base boards. By adding some lattice boards to create my board and batten, I could essentially paint a fraction of the room and lighten it up without painting the whole thing.
Since I already had one, I figured I would put it to good use. I’d seen a few tutorials on Pinterest for (faux) board and batten, and a lot of them used a chair rail. Then I realized that I might be able to use it to my advantage. It’s the only room in the house that has one so I found it a bit odd. So, last week I decided to take on the board and batten.įor some reason, this particular bedroom had a chair rail that went around the room. I started with a bunch of smaller projects, but after a while I realized that the small projects were just going to sit on the floor until I got around to the bigger projects. We are transforming one of our small guest bedrooms into baby’s bedroom. I started working on the nursery a few weeks ago.
Who doesn’t like being able to use those two adjectives when it comes to home projects? Which is almost better, because it’s cheaper and easier. Ok, so it’s not exactly board and batten.
