We live in a 1950s ranch home. It had little to no character when we bought it, but we are slowly trying to give it a bit of a style boost. When my husband and I started putting together our second child's nursery, we knew we wanted to do something special.
We decided on a white wood plank wall. First, we bought 3 sheets of 1/4 inch hardwood plywood and cut them into 6 inch planks. We cut the boards with our mitre saw into shorter lengths and laid it out in a varied pattern. The planks were attached to the wall with a nail gun, making sure to lightly sand all the edges of each board as we went. We used a penny to space the boards horizontally and a nickel to space them vertically. It really went quite quickly.
After finishing the wall and filling all the nail holes, we used our spray gun to paint the wall. It was quick and easy after all that dreadful taping!
