@@UnknownUser.ar1 Are you sure? 1 x 2 x 8' boards are around $800 at H.D. and she had 125 of them. Also HD wood sucks. Too many boards are cupped, twisted, etc. Not the best quality. I'm surprised she got enough good boards to do this. I wonder how it's held up a couple of years later.
Thank you! We cut out a notch at the bottom of each slat, but it was SO much extra work.We should have just taken the baseboard off. Would have been much less time consuming!
Impressed with the outlook, and have few questions? 1) What is the thickness of plywood sheet you chose? 2) does the ripped strips should look like a square? Means, if we choose 24mm thickness plywood and then do we have to cut the strips 24mm, so that it looks like a square. 3) Will that be okay if we don't apply putty for soft texture and then paint it to wood color?
But they used one by twos which would be more expensive then a sheet of plywood I would think but the plywood you’d have to have a saw or pay to have them cut. One by two is like 1.75 inch wide and .75 inch thick and then they put a .75 gap between each piece. so they aren’t square
How did you know you would have good spacing on the ends of the wall? I tried a project like this and didn't plan ahead. We either had a huge gap at the end or had to cut the slat thin. 😪
You could just wait until you are 6-8 boards from the corners and adjust them a teeeeeny bit to fit like you want. It wouldn't be noticeable at all I bet.
So beautiful and inspired me to start this project. Btw if you wouldn't mind could you please tell how much its gonna cost for all this 1by2 s? And home depot help you to cut them all?
The cost will depend on how large your wall is! I believe the boards are $1.98 each right now, so hopefully that can help you do the math! We have tools to cut the wood, but I am sure Home Depot has a service where someone can help get them cut too!
Love this! Did the matte polyeurthane keep the wood from turning yellow? And the Brad nailer - was it able to go through the two inches to the wall straight?
The wood has stayed the exact color that it was when we bought it, thankfully! With the nails, most went through, but there were a few that just didn't stick. I'd use longer nails if we did this a second time around!
Nice video, can you please tell me on which support you put the nail on the top of the wall ? Looks like it is against the wood baseboards on the bottom. thank you,
I know this is a month old, but happy I found it and immediately subscribed. Love it..❤❤❤ whoops one question: what are you cutting with...a miter saw or circular. I have a circular, so do I need to purchase a miter?
I don't think that would work very well. We used the glue as more of an extra precautionary step, but there are plenty of spots where the glue never really stuck and it's only held in place by the nail. :) So I'd say if anything, just use the nailer!
@@gooquach6782 The majority of the nails actually are holding them into the wall, but there are definitely a few that aren't going in all the way, but thankfully the liquid nails makes up for it. If our nailer held longer nails we'd definitely have used that!
We should have just removed the baseboard, but seeing as it was the first day we moved into our home and didn't want to ruin any part of it, we cut little divets into each piece of wood so it would fit snuggly around the baseboard. Incredibly tedious! I'd probably do the former, if I were to do it again!
Thank you so much! The wood itself was a few hundred (maybe around $250?)! This doesn't include the tools needed though, since we either had those or borrowed from friends and family!
The wood alone was a few hundred dollars. The project cost would totally depend on if you have the tools and other materials needed, like glue and nails.
We do not unfortunately! It was our first DIY project ever and we hardly documented, just learned! But mostly everything we used should be able to be pulled from this video and description!
This is amazing, looking to do this in my living room! How many boards did this take? Trying to get a rough estimate of what I will need without doing the math right away ha
I know, it kind of like seeped out once we attached the boards to the wall! One of these days I'll go in with a fine point paint brush and paint over it all!
We actually like the look of it going all the way down to the floor, so we just cut little notches around the wood so it would fit snug over the baseboard. :)
@@patricehollywood6014 you don’t know that, and maybe she did all the video editing and all the work they didn’t show, AND it looks like she did the staining.
I will do it in my living room. The ceiling is low and The vertical visual will give an illusion of higher ceilings! Also, I love the light wood tone.
That will look so pretty! Best of luck!
WOW so cool!!! I am saving this for future dream house projects 😊
Yes! Do it! It's so rewarding in the end!
same me also save it
Did I really just watch him cut a short end on a miter saw with the long end unsupported🤣. WOW just Wow.
Okay this saves a whole lot $$$ than those premade ones on etsy. THANK YOU!
Yes you got this!
How many slates were required for this full wall 🤔
@@ffragqer I think somewhere around 125!
@@aliviafields perfect 🤩
Looks great. You really wasn’t joking when you said the family helped.😂
Haha it was very much a group effort!
😮 So beautiful 🤩
It’s such a labor-intensive work.
There are ready-made and stained wall panels and they might be less expensive.
Glad to hear it! Sounds like an easy option! :)
@@aliviafields
$500 for a 4x3m wall by readymade fluted panels.
Way more expensive than your method.

I love that! Thanks so much for watching!
That’s beautiful
Thank you!
total cost vs purchased premade panels?
Love the look - do the slats help with sound? 🤔
I don't know much about that, but I wouldn't think so!
It’s eye-catching.
How much did it cost you (material + installation)?
Did the baseboards on the floor create a problem? It looks like you glued on top of them.
We just etched out little notches to go over the baseboards, but it would have been MUCH easier to just remove the baseboard altogether!
Looks great!
How did the boards lie flat when they were touching the skirting boards?
Thank you! We cut out a notch at the bottom of each slat, but it was SO much extra work.We should have just taken the baseboard off. Would have been much less time consuming!

She has it in her drop down list which I prefer.
They didn’t use plywood. I was also wondering how thick each strip should be if it’s supposed to be square or what
But they used one by twos which would be more expensive then a sheet of plywood I would think but the plywood you’d have to have a saw or pay to have them cut. One by two is like 1.75 inch wide and .75 inch thick and then they put a .75 gap between each piece. so they aren’t square
That’s a cool design!
Thanks so much!
Looks great!
Looks lovely!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Good Idea for home renovation
Thanks mate!
How did you know you would have good spacing on the ends of the wall? I tried a project like this and didn't plan ahead. We either had a huge gap at the end or had to cut the slat thin. 😪
We completely just trusted hahaha thank fully it worked out! But I think measuring before hand would have worked well too!
You could just wait until you are 6-8 boards from the corners and adjust them a teeeeeny bit to fit like you want. It wouldn't be noticeable at all I bet.
How did you calculate the spacing
They used one by twos which measure 1.75 inches by .75 inches so they put a .75 inch gap they just used an extra board for the spacing
So you can see the liquid nail spots after it’s done?
Ideally, no! We just put too much on, and didn't realize we needed to wipe the excess immediately. Lesson learned! :)

What length/gauge nails would you recommend?? Thanks!
looks really good! I liked your wall lamp, I want to build similar projec, do you by any chance remember where you got it from?
Yes! It's from Cedar & Moss!
How much did you spend in wood?
Nice video, can you please tell me on which support you put the nail on the top of the wall ? Looks like it is against the wood baseboards on the bottom. thank you,
It's just going straight into the drywall on the top!
its beautifulllll
Thank you! It truly looks so cool in person once it's all done!
is there a section for non warped boards at HD? I’ve looked before and all the 1x2s and similar boards all are a little warped to majorly warped
We just have to take a lot of time and search through all of them! It also helps if you do a massive online order of a full pallet!
Beautiful! How many inches or centimeters apart did you lay the slats?
We placed one slat in between as a spacer, so they are one inch in between!
Will dust get into the space between wood?
Well it's been about a year and a half and I have never dusted between them ahaha, so that is to be determined!
Did you have to acclimate the wood first? How is it holding up?
No we didn't! It's been about a year and a half since we did this and it's still great! Looks exactly the same as when we put it up!
Amazing! How much space should you leave in between each board? Thanks!!
We used the space of one board, in between each board!
What about the dust?
Thank you! totally going to do this (but so scared lol!!!)
You got this! When it doubt, just take the wood off the wall and start over! :)
I love this!! However, that ONE board that's darker would drive me nuts.
Gives it character! ◡̈
@@aliviafields yes ma'am 😅
I know this is a month old, but happy I found it and immediately subscribed. Love it..❤❤❤ whoops one question: what are you cutting with...a miter saw or circular. I have a circular, so do I need to purchase a miter?
if the boards you used were 2 inches wide, (i know you used a spacer) but what size spacing did you use?
We used a piece of these boards as the spacer!
Love the video! May I ask what the tool is called to find the center of the wall?
We used a tape measurer to find the center point and then a laser level to mark it!
beautiful! did you put finish nail in the middle as well, just curious because it's only drywall it could be no stud behind the drywall.
We put nails all up and down the board!
looks great but pain to clean the dust?????
I haven't noticed any dust piling up, thankfully!
Is there lot of dust kept between the slats?
I haven't really seen any! But I'm sure running a duster in between every now and then would be helpful!
Is it work if using only glue to stick the piecess on wall without using nail?
I don't think that would work very well. We used the glue as more of an extra precautionary step, but there are plenty of spots where the glue never really stuck and it's only held in place by the nail. :) So I'd say if anything, just use the nailer!
Is it nailed to a wooden wall?
It is not. Just drywall. If we did this again we would put a backer board up first for sure!
Love
Thank you!
love it!
I just found your channel and am binge watching all your videos😍😍😍 I was also so curious how you got that magnificent wall, you read my mind!
Well thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
What lights are those on the wall?
They are sconces from Cedar & Moss!
Nice job. Did you put the poly on the 1 inch side or 2 inch side
We put the poly all around!
@@aliviafields lol I meant is the 2 in the side against the wall or the 1 in
@@lizzyh5808 The 1in side is attached to the wall, so they protrude 2in!
@@aliviafields if they protrude 2 inches, and your brad nail is 2 inches, are the brad nails doing anything? super confused, thanks!

The exact space of one slat in between, if that makes sense. We used one slat board as a spacer.
Wow
I love your sweater Alivia! Where did you get it?!
It's from NAADAM! One of my favorite sustainably minded companies!
This looks amazing! How did you manage getting the pieces flush against the baseboard?
We should have just removed the baseboard, but seeing as it was the first day we moved into our home and didn't want to ruin any part of it, we cut little divets into each piece of wood so it would fit snuggly around the baseboard.

Was it expensive?
Not super! A couple hundred dollars of wood was the biggest expense!
The question is can I do this in my apartment??!!
If you can easily remove it and fill all the holes!
what was the total cost?
I don't remember exactly, but it was a few hundred for the materials, not including the tools. :)
I love love love this look! Great job! Could I ask ball park what this cost :)
Thank you so much! The wood itself was a few hundred (maybe around $250?)! This doesn't include the tools needed though, since we either had those or borrowed from friends and family!
@@aliviafields Oh thats super affordable! Thank you so much for sharing this diy and info with me! Much love
Use a mitre saw correctly please if you broadcast it on the internet. I fear for your fingers. Nice Wall!
What color are your walls? Sheen?
They are Snowbound, by Sherwin Williams!
I miss the air circulation behind 😬
Cost?
The wood alone was a few hundred dollars. The project cost would totally depend on if you have the tools and other materials needed, like glue and nails.
Bedroom update 2023?
Our most recent bedroom video is a few videos back, sharing our new master bedroom in our fixer upper house!
@@aliviafields thank you
Love it! I’m planning on doing the same. Do you have a blog or a list of all materials you used?

This is amazing, looking to do this in my living room! How many boards did this take? Trying to get a rough estimate of what I will need without doing the math right away ha
Probably around 125ish, and this is a 12ft long wall I think!
You can see the glue splattered on the wall behind the slats...
I know, it kind of like seeped out once we attached the boards to the wall! One of these days I'll go in with a fine point paint brush and paint over it all!
Interested how this looks after the pine has yellowed
It looks the same, actually! Really has not changed in the past year.
@@aliviafields Cool to know! I love the way it turned out
Why not remove the baseboard first? it would've looked much better.
We actually like the look of it going all the way down to the floor, so we just cut little notches around the wood so it would fit snug over the baseboard. :)
So many ppl to do one wall lol
It takes a village haha!
She keeps saying “we” but it looks to me like other people did all the work. 🤷🏻♂️
