I needed a bright white shiplap wall to photograph my refinished furniture in front of & wanted to lighten my dark dining room in the process. I Love getting the gorgeous Fixer Upper look on a budget.
I was able to use quarter inch plywood strips ripped into 7.5" wide strips.
I was able to use quarter inch plywood strips ripped into 7.5" wide strips. the wood clamped on my plywood to to give me a straight edge to run my saw along.
Once cut the strips were glued and nailed onto our wall. Later I realized it would have been best to paint the blue wall white before starting...but, I was too excited to wait.
Once nailed in place, the nail holes were patched using our Kristi Kuehl Pure Home Paints Magic Mud. Then sanded when dry and the wall was painted white. Including dabbing it into the those spaces where the blue was showing through.
I am loving how my furniture looks in front of this gorgeous wall! There is a little more in depth information on our Blog post
