I have a new She shed need some ideas on finishing off the walls and ceiling. The entire shed is insulated has 7 windows tiny loft area over the door. Any ideas? I was thinking bead board.
Suggested Project Book
Bead board would be so cute. Shiplap would be too. I can't wait to see what you decide!
Even though I don't
Beadboard and shiplap are great ideas, as is pallet wood for a more rustic look or accent wall.
I would think beadboard or wood would swell if you live in a humid area and it woud also attract bugs/termites. It happenned to me. Although more expensive, maybe vinyl or pvc.
I like the idea of pallet wood, just be sure the wood isn't filled with chemicals. Many people are making headboards, etc. with pallet wood and not paying attention to any chemicals it could have.
Also old doors can look fabulous and adds even more insulation. Combine this with pallet wood and it could look fabulous. I realize they probably have lead paint on them but I don't think you need to do anything except scrape the loose paint off. Use a mask when working with old furniture, etc. You don't need to paint them, just appreciate how they bring character into your She shed.
