And….we love it!!Buy It: Wayfair, 15.29/sq. This is a siding option that is a little different from our traditional-looking steel log siding, that still gives you all the benefits of steel siding and the natural look of wood.Well our gallery wall and board and batten is done.

I used the same semi-gloss paint that is used on all my trim, which is Ultra White by Valspar. Board-and-batten: Vertical wood siding consisting of wide boards and narrow battens that.Let’s first take a look at the before picture of this wall in our living room before I show you the rest.Paint Once everything was dry, I wasted no time and started painting. This paneling would look great in any room, from the kitchen to a home office.Bearing wall: A wall supporting ceiling joists or another wall above. There are several colors to choose from, too, but natural cork is such a pretty caramel color.
I used primed MDF this time, and I’d highly, highly recommend if you can splurge for it. The only thing I did do differently was: This version is just a shorter one.
If I had done just the regular chair rail and boxes, they would hardly even be seen. This wall called for something bigger in my opinion, and something that needed to stand out. I don’t care that it isn’t the same wainscoting we have in the office or the other living/entry wall with the chair rail and boxes. This went on for several months and I couldn’t make up my mind, but I finally went with this chunkier paneling because I love it so much. Just wanted to try something different and I like it!I went back and forth and back again on what type of wainscoting to do in the living room. I used satin/eg-shell white paint this time instead of semi-gloss like I usually do.
Pretty smart right? All the work was done for me. We wanted a clean and modern look.I went to Ikea and took a pic of a gallery wall they had displayed that I liked, and pretty much bought the exact same frames (all Ribba frames). Although I love the look of those too, it wouldn’t work on this huge wall space to fill and would have end up looking cluttered. In overcoming my fears of actually putting up a gallery wall, I knew that the types of gallery walls that have several different items other than frames displayed wouldn’t work with us. My husband even a little more. Let me first say that both me and my husband are pretty symmetrical people.
The fabric in the little square frames I already had.Um, are those hilarious or what? Those were when we went to Disney World and Busch Gardens for our Honeymoon. But now, I like the mixture of the prints and the photos, so they will stay for a while.So what else is in the frames? Beautiful family pics, some artwork from my stepson and daughter, an old NY map, and some pretty, modern, and colorful fabric that I got at JoAnn’s half off because it’s outdoor fabric. Did I mention he has OCD? Having OCD though pays off in cases like this because you get a pretty immaculate looking gallery wall if you ask me!The big poster prints you see are also from Ikea that I got until I can get some good photos blown up. The spacing of the frames are all p.e.r.f.e.c.t. Not at all.How awesome is he for letting me post up a pic of him wearing the apron my grandma made me, and using it as a tool belt? (Sorry Mom, guess I shouldn’t have returned that tool belt you got me last year…).I did help him string them all up with the wire hanging stuff though, because of course nothing comes fully assembled from Ikea (which was just as much as a pain to do!)My husband just used the laser level and put up the bottom row of frames first, and then worked his way up.
But if we did do that, then my husband’s recliner would have to pushed back all the way against the windows. Love when that happens!And let me just explain real quick why the couch still isn’t centered with the wall (which doesn’t even bother us). Ahh, gotta love roller coasters.We love it!! What do you think? Everything just kind of came together with all of the fabrics, ottomans, pillows, and all of the geometric prints we have going on. And I love having random pictures of people we don’t know on our gallery wall too. That has to be the ugliest picture of me that ever existed, but it cracks me up and I have been dying to use these pics somewhere.
Just in case you were wonderin…:) :) Plus, we like the open space so the kids can play, and the room feels bigger, so having the furniture arranged this way works out good for us. We still have conversations at angles. And yes I know we could move my chair (with the blanket on it) across from the couch so it’s more conversation style, but honestly, that isn’t us, and we do both like to be facing the tv.
