rrich1 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 A few years ago my wife painted an accent wall behind our bed a lightish blue color. The rest of the walls were a tanish brown. She hated it and we just never got around to changing it. Last year she mentioned a ship lap wall of some sort. She couldn't decide on how rustic it should be. Decided on not rustic but able to see some wood grain due to the rest of the furniture not being rustic at all. To keep the cost down I decided to do a faux shiplap wall with 1/4" plywood. Painted the wall behind it white and used Brad nails with trim adhesive to attach the boards. It came out very well. The stain was kind of a pain to get what my wife wanted. I tried white wash and it wasn't white enough for her. Ended up spreading solid deck stain thin and she liked it. Topped it off with a few coats of water based poly. I trimmed the wall with poplar boards and had a seem in the middle of the wall. My father in law has a cnc and I asked him to cnc me a square with an "R" in it. I put a bottom lip on it and it is kind of like a key stone for the wall. Ill get a pic of it later. Of course with the new wall the old trim and color just weren't going to do anymore. We eventually dedicided on our house color which is a true navy blue color. Painted the walls and painted new mission style trim. This also led to us wanting new doors. We had the standard 6 panel door and they were original to the house. I decided to make my own trim as well. This was pretty easy and really like how it is turning out. I got the doors installed earlier this week and got the doors trimmed today. The top still needs to be attached as I needed to get the sides done first to get the correct width for the overhangs and paint the edges.

rrich1 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Time for the windows this past week. I have about 3/4" of an inch for a jamb on my windows. I had to basically rabbet each side and nail in a jamb separately as opposed to making one and placing it in. Once I figured out how to do that I was on my way. I got both windows done up to the point of filling nail holes and caulk. Love the way they turned out.
