    DIY Modern Plank Wall

    October 20, 2015 by Ashley Mayes 16 Comments

    Hello! How did Tuesday get here so fast? We had two birthday parties over the weekend, a date night, football, yard work, a bloody ORC accident (I'm recovering and will be fine) and more and it just flew by! Seriously, it seems like I go to bed on Friday night and wake up and it's Monday. Crazy, right? Anyways, today I'm over at eHow sharing a DIY Modern Plank Wall.

    Use this tutorial to make a Modern Plank Wall to serve as a focal point for your room.

    I've been wanting a shiplap wall for quite some time. But, did you know that shiplap is not to be found in Missouri? Seriously, I have been all over trying to source it and ship it here. No luck! So, I finally got over my disappointment and bought tongue and groove paneling boards.

    Install a Plank Wall in your house with this Simple DIY Tutorial!

    The process was simple, minus the few wall obstacles (railing, stairwell, etc.), that we had; but definitely doable in a weekend!

    I'm thrilled with the added texture and look that it's made.

    Hop over to eHow to see the before/after as well as the full tutorial!

        Thanks Cassie! I'm so excited about it. Now, I'm totally thinking I need to move to white (kinda like you did in your Master). My living room needs a breath of fresh air.

        I'm surprised that it really changes so much. It totally gives that side of the room a focal point.

      Love it! Amazing how modern it looks given that it could feel like a more country style!

        Thanks Sage! I think that's the beauty of a decor...mixing styles.

        Thanks Gilly! I've wanted planks walls forever but wasn't sure if they would jive with my style. The Schoolhouse Electric house pushed me over the edge and now I want them everywhere!

        Of course! It's actually a vintage find from Habitat Restore that I updated (changed out the old chandler and replaced the wiring to make it a pendant). I posted about the process and you can find that tutorial on the project gallery page... if you'd be interested in trying to repurpose one of your own. I actually have this one for sale on Craigslist right now. I liked it but when we overhauled the space it just didn't quite fit. Thanks!

        Hi Danielle,

        The white is Ultra White (7006-24) by Valspar that we had color-matched at a local store. My friend, Julia from Cuckoo 4 Design, uses that color quite a bit and has got me hooked! It's a very nice bright white.
