Salvaged Lattice Panels Turned #FixerUpper Wall Decor!

5 Materials

I'm a house-flipper....but really, I'm a house-preservationist. I love buying old, ugly, and neglected houses and giving them a new life without totally gutting them. I restore and refurbish as much as I can...and all on a DIY beer budget!


I hope you'll follow me on my journey of my 3rd house flip at my blog, The Bachelorette Pad Flip: https://bachelorettepadflip.com/

I scored several salvaged lattice panels from a local junk shop. Even though they were originally used outside, I had interior plans for these panels!

Using a sanding and sweeping method, I gave each panel a good cleaning.

Then came the Fixer Upper part! I applied a white wash to each panel. Not sure how to create a white wash? I have a full "recipe" on my blog! And by full recipe...I mean water and paint- SO EASY!

Once the white wash was applied, I sanded and distressed the panels....to create the perfect distressed Joanna Gaines approved decor!

My last step included using a few screws and hanging the panels on the wall to frame my TV. I'm not totally done-- to see my other plans for this little space (including some fun wreaths for each panel!), check out my blog!

    the before picture shows missing slates....the after picture is very different...how did you fix the areas where the wood was missing?

    Is that a rounded wall the tv is on ? If so it would be great to figure out a way to showcase that unusual feature! I like the lattice too.
