Hey y'all! We are so excited to get started with DIY's in our new house! This is just the first of many! So, we decided to go room to room and we started with Darryl's music studio! I decided to go with a rustic industrial gentleman feel to it! I chose to go with symmetrical planks versus staggered planks because I wanted a cabin like feel. Staggered planks could look really nice as well. I am so excited for you to see the rest of it!!!

Wall looks great! A few tips for the next project. Stain first, its way easier and looks better. Stagger the joints, it looks way better that way. Cut the boards to that the ends never meet up on the same line. Thumbs up, you guys did great!
Also... start at the bottom and hide your nails at the top of each peace so they're covered by the piece above.
I would also take the switches and outlets off and put the planking behind them, then re-install with the tabs over the top of the planking so that your covers sit on top of the planking.
when laying out boards, go first row all the way, and start with a leftover, there should never be a single strait line between columns like you have above the right door
Just what I thought - the end result looks too sterile otherwise.
Second that staggered just like you do floors looks a lot better. Also you could've stained the boards before installing them.
Can you elaborate? Sounds like a good tip but I’m confused
@@davidwatchesyoutube247 when you start, you place full boards all the way and cut the one at the end, then you start with full boards again from that end and cut the one on the opposite end, that way your boards get staggered.
@@lucyferina right on thank you!
Great first time! Everyone learns what they would have done after they're done. Fortunately others will see what to change ahead of time
You 2 did a nice job on that wall.
A technical point - working from the bottom up is easier. First row has the tongue cut off. Put the nails through the back lip of the groove, so they are invisible.
What do you think she cut the planks with to fit?
I've been convinced I had to go with actual pallets (ripping them apart, pulling nails, renting a planner, worried about bugs & musty wood smells, etc...) You guys did such a great job. Your husband's patience and attention to precision cutting really paid off. This look adds a lot of rustic warmth to the room. Your choice of staining colors came out gorgeous. I love the fact that the wood is super clean & all the same thickness. Because of your video and how well your accent wall came out, you've convinced me this is the way to go. Thank you both for sharing your awesome project !! Kevin - Greensboro, North Carolina
I usually prefer staggered boards, but aligning them highlights the length of the boards in a way that staggering doesn't. It's a very nice look, as demonstrated perfectly in this project.
Another thing, that stain color is gorgeous. Great choice.
looks great. I think it might be easier to stain before installation. Great job!
It wasn't hard to stain at all after installation. Thanks!
After better to cover the nails.
It looked harder than it had to be though :)
Definitely stain before installation.
was just gonna say that would of been easier
I love this. Your husband was just so funny when he finally got the cut right over the door. Just to funny. You kids did a great job. Oh the dance was good to. It keeps you in a good mood while you work. Makes things fun.
You two are so cute doing this project together! It turned out great and will save me a ton of money.
I love it! Yup! Going to do that to a few walls in our house! I almost did the fake painted on wall! Thanks for stopping me! Shoo!
Seeing you pour the stain over bare carpet into that clear container made me so tense. lol.
There was a piece of Saran wrap their! Because I was thinking the exact same thing LOL
I would pre cut and stain everything before installing.
@@joeh4295 was thinking the same. Would make most sense
Looks great but I personally would chop up the strips so there were staggered joints ...sort of like bricks ....otherwise you end up with a seam which bug me forever. Also I think I would use a few different strains and stain all the cut pieces and THEN nailem up randomly ...if you can picture that? Also by pre-staining you don't get the unfinished gaps you had to use a little brush on meticulously ....of course I have the benefit of learning after the fact from your experience! Again looks great! Love it!
We used laminated flooring, the wood one that already had it stained the color we wanted, and it was easier. we didn't have to use stain just put on walls. Your walls look nice .
Pretty expensive, but way better look.
I just finished a faux brick wall in my pool room/bar and wanted to have a wood look for parts of 2 other walls. I have now found my technique. Thanks!
awesome! we are going to do a faux brick wall in our kitchen soon!!! aw so glad you liked it! awesome! that's going to look awesome. can't go wrong with brick & wood combo!
Geoff Freund how do you do faux brick?
Wood and white are awesome together best combo ever.
I wanted to do something like this. I'm reading yall comments about stagging the joints ? What does it mean ? I'm a beginner 😅
Love this. Screw the naysayers. Haters will always hate. That's their karma. Layout is a personal choice. Anything short of safety, in fact, is a matter of choice. It looks great and totally enhanced your room. You're happy, your husband is happy...no one else matters. Enjoy your new look!
why didn't we remove the switch and plug plates so you can cover cuts around them?
Nice. We moved into a house that had maybe 2x4 covering a wall and stained in the master bedroom. We don't even have a head board for our bed because the wall is our head board. Great job you.
Great job! Always is easier if you stain the boards prior to install! Found out the hard way myself years ago....
Just watched this and I say Great Job. I never done anything like this and because of this video I went out and got the wood. I can not wait to see how mine turns out. Thanks For Sharing
You can do the grooves and joints with the brush. Just a quick tip. Hope it helps.
Growing up, we use to have wood panel walls and they we painted over them. We finally got new walls put in 5 yrs ago...lol You both did a great job!
stain it first and also shoot the nails into the groove, that way they're hidden.
J W real talk.
Mr. Obvious...
Like the groove between the boards?
@@ramyswar296 yes, not the tongue but the groove, except where you end cant do it so end in a corner or somewhere you wont see. you do the same thing with wood flooring to hide the nails
J W
If it stained the nails aren't seen! Nail gun nails are hard to see anyway! Rustic look nails show! So no dont shoot them in a grove!
This happyman loves what he do. I like him.
WOW- I LOVED this video. And I thought... What a cute couple. Thank you for posting this. I am going to try it.
I saw a reply to someone's comment where you said that you didn't want to stagger the joints. I didn't see any explanation as to why though. Just personal preference or did you have a method behind it? In future, I'm pretty sure those stain pads are designed for when you're staining decking. I don't think they're really meant to hold the stain into the pad when you've got it held up against a wall like that. I would imagine that if you were to stain a floor you would find it quite useful as you wouldn't have to get down on your knees like with a rag. Something else you might think of doing is staining the wood prior to putting it on the wall. That'll let you get all of the sides very easily... just something to think about if you do something like this again at some point in time. I really like the color and the character that the final product brings to the room. Overall - Good job!
This is the greatest idea ever.. OMG I didn't know they sell the planks like this!!!
Stagger the joints for gods sake
Seether Fan I DIDN'T WANT STAGGERED PLANKS!!! READING AND LISTENING IS SO IMPORTANT!
LOL why wouldn't you stagger them??? It's the correct way... I know just easier....also I can see the wall color behind the slits OR it's missed stains in the cracks.
Seether Fan never stagger on a wall such as this. Turned out fantastic
JWP Don’t call it rustic if you aren’t going to make it rustic. Staggering is rustic. Also, staining beforehand so you could get between the cracks and using dark nails would have made it better.
Good job. Love the video.
thank you both for the inspiration!!My wife agrees it looks sooo nice and headed to Home Depot tomorrow because if this video,Thank-You for uploading it!!
Hi, I love what you did and take notes, definitely I want to try. I have a question: What do you think if I apply same project to dining table? Is it waterproof, is it doable on dining table, and is it durable, strong enough for a family with two kids? Please share your thought, I appreciate that. Thank you
Great video, would you staunch them before you put them in the wall,
Looks great but you might have considered staggering the joints for a more "rustic" look. Just an idea. I will be doing this instead of drywall in my new master suite.
Nice colors, I like Early American myself. Great job.
Great job!!! So glad your honey loved it!
Great job! Here's a tip...prior to installation of wood...paint the wall a very dark brown or black. This will completely hide any gaps.
Ive seen walls tiled now wood, only thing left is carpet. Great job and like others mentioned stain before hanging.
Wow completely changed the look of the room. Looks great!
Measure twice, cut once. 😜
Looks great! 🌍☮️♥️🎈
Great project!!! the only thing is that as you apply the stain you can actually see the space between the wood but it looks great!!!
I wonder abt doing a small bathroom floor with this, and then putting poly down to seal and waterproof it.. I was thinking liquid nails to hold it down... What does your hubby think?
So this does look super simple! I’ve been wanting to do this in my kitchen and a wall in my bedroom. Will be showing my hubby soon and doing this!
What did you use to cut the wood? Love the look
the hubs used a miter saw, i believe.
The tongue and groove planking is a great idea! I would have cut some smaller pieces so it looks less uniform but overall amazing job! Thanks for this tutorial!
Thanks :) I'm boring, I like uniform lol.
graceful + lovely You're not boring! I was looking to improve the ideas I already had in mind (which were multicolored staggered planks) but when I saw this, I LOVED IT! I see the staggered planks style EVERYWHERE, and that sorta turned me off. I guess no one listened to you when you said that you wanted a 'cabin' feel to the walls-which means layered out exactly the way you have them here. I honestly like this better. Thanks for the info on where to get them. Also, thanks for the vid!
I like this idea and it’s cheaper then buying decent floor wood to put on the wall
but my question is what type of nails did u use?
We’re u marking so they went into the the wood behind the sheet rock?
I have held off on it since I don’t want the wall to fall I. The middle of the night. Maybe the rung and groove helps.
Is it still up with no problems? Looks cool. I was thinking of trying wider wood. I seen it on this old house and it looked really cool. My luck all the wood would warp on the wall. Lol
Thanks for the video. Projects are always cool to do when the fam is involved.
I was thinking yeah stagger the joints but once you got it all done it's fine and it looks beautiful. Great job!
I like staining too, lol, but I didn't want to add any color, so I tried Watcom Danish Oil Natural, and love it. Plus it's forgiving, since it's natural (clear).
Going to try it its beautiful what size braid nails did you use
Couple suggestions:
1. The joints where one piece butts to another (end to end, horizontally) board should be randomly spread out. For example, between the door and the closet door, there should have been some joints created. Every board being solid between the doors makes it look fake. Just like on a big, open wood floor there should have been some staggered joints.
2. For a remodel job you would have been better staining all the boards BEFORE you cut them or hung them. This makes for far less danger of messing up the carpet or the trim or even the paint on the remaining painted walls. Also, by pre-staining the boards, you can see what you’re hanging and where; providing you the ability to design the coloration of the wall. Finally, pre-staining means the ONLY things you need to stain, once the wall is finished, are the ends of the pieces you cut and some minor touch-ups.
Wall did look great; but a few little changes like these would make it THAT much better! Hope this helps.
Hey Thats Awesome .. one thing though do you think if i stain the wood before i assemble it could that be a benefit ?
thanks for the inspiration.
T
Y'all did a great job
I've just watched a video before yours with someone using laminated floor boards, both projects are very nice and I think I'll attempt to do floor to ceiling headboard for the bedroom.
Seems like it would be easier to Stain before install but sure wish I could do this for under $40 bucks Cause our Home Depot don't have anything like this I just was wonder though how many boxes did you have to buy?
I love this walls....
BEAUTIFUL.
Good work! This encourages me to not break the bank for a great look!
I personally think that it looked awesome without staining.
Nrfa you know I went back and forth on whether I should stain it or not. Everybody talking about "you should have stained before" but it was because I was thinking of sticking with the natural wood.
graceful + lovely i think i rather stain like you did because it think its messier the other way but both wud do
Looks very good, congratulation.. couples recommendation, gloves and keep window open for ventilation
I have a few questions as I've been researching this for a few weeks. I wanted to know how these walls are holding up now that you've had them up for a while. Also how about studs in the walls did you guys find where the studs were, or did you just nail gun straight into the wall? what kind of saw did you use to cut the wood? thank you for answering these questions it would really help me out. And this is a great do it yourself keep them coming
So dope. Great job yall
Great idea! I want to try this. I will probably stain the wood before putting it up.
great video, Are there stainers that don't smell? Ive stained some wood in the past and it took forever for the smell to go away,Id like to know before attempting a new project.thanks
You two look adorable. BTW the wall looks great too.
What were the walls made of? In England, it's plasterboard. I don't think nails would be enough. 🤔
How's the wall since you put it up? :)
It looked great!
That's what's up- great job! You guys inspire me.
looks awesome what color paint is your hallway?
Not a terrible DIY video oh, but I think you could have given us more much information. I think you said you got those wall planks at Home Depot? Or was it Lowe's? I think you said for 11 bucks is that American? How many do you get in a pack? Does it say on the package how much area it will cover?
Are you going to protect it with a clear coating?
WOW!!! Looks great you make everything look so easy. Now I want to panel something.
It really was easy!! You should do it :)
I have medium oak kitchen cabinets and hate my walls. Any ideas on this for me?? Wonder if I would clear coat the wood or match it.
Looks awesome..I dont see these on the Home Depot website unfortunately!
He better love it ...because not only does it look awesome lucky he's got a great story to tell everybody about how his wife did it by herself for him to enjoy.Very cool and "thumbs up" girl you knocked it out..!
He does love it :) Thanks so much! It was a team effort :)
What brand/shade is the blue? I’m looking for something exactly like this bc we are closing on a house later this month. Previous owner done this wood on a wall in the living room. Hasn’t been stained or anything. And i want blue walls lol. My man doesn’t want to paint the wood so I’m gonna try to convince him it needs to at least be stained lol
You’re hubby is so cute with his victory dance haha
Quick question. with the wood tiles that you used, were you able to see cracks between them?
beautiful, i was actually searchin something like this, i love this
I love this idea! I have been wanting an accent wall in my living room for such a long time but all of the options I had found were either too pricy or difficult to install. this is perfect. Can't wait to try it. :)
"It elevates the room," that's going to be my new philosophy/theme for all the home DIY projects my wife and I will be doing. Great project. Loved how it turned out. It has me motivated now! 😊
I love what you did with your wall, it looks amazing! I have a couple of questions. What kind of tool did your husband use to make the precision cuts in the panels to fit them around the trim and electrical wall plugs? Please know that I'm a 60-year-old lady and I have no tools, but I can rent them. I also have very little experience in the DIY arena, but I'm learning and I learned a lot from your video. Also, do you think I could stagger the panels on the wall in the same way that wood or laminate flooring is laid (if you know what I mean)? Thanks.
Time to buy your own tools!! You are just now getting the time to experiment!! Have a fun creative new beginning! Us women rock for projects!! :) you can do this!
GOOD THING I STUMBLED INTO YOUR VID .. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY SOME WALLPAPER FOR ABOUT THE SAME COST... THIS IS MUCH BETTER.. THANKS...
Wow! It looks great but I liked it without the stain too.
Seriously like this. Will be doing this in my home soon.
cool idea, i'll give it a try, maybe staggered style. thanks
Manny Echaluce I didn't want to stagger this wall but I'm sure it would look nice.
Wow..u made it look so simple, thumbs up!!!!!
Dang I just sanded 15 fence boards for a day because I couldn't find any planks that were inexpensive..these would have worked lol.
I think you should have stained the boards first - but it looks great. I would have offset the boards but that's just a personal taste =D Also stain in the breaks would be nice, some was missed and it looks a little off.
stain them before installing them
that looks great i would have moved the outlet and the switch out though. Thanks for the idea I am definitely doing this in my kitchen
Awwww his reaction made me so happy!:)) amazing job I would love to do something like this vertical in my home but I am sadly renting😔
Proper installation involves cutting the boards into different lengths to stagger them on the wall So you don’t end up with one straight vertical seam where all the boards end.
You guys are so great. This video made me feel awesome. What a nice team.
No tape on trim..no drop cloth on carpet..thats some good skills to pull that off
Wow! Thats so pretty! Very creative! Thanks for sharing!
thanks so much :)
@@MyLovelyTexasHome I'm so happy I found this video my room is really big which seems amazing but it's so annoying trying to decorate it. Not to mention the floor boards the walls and just about everything isn't my style at all.
Hey looks beautiful. Did you also use burn/scorch marks on this ? Or is that just how staining wood makes it look ? That’s the exact effect I’m after in my campervan
Is it possible to hang stuff on the wood paneling? Framed photos and such?
What size and gauge nails did you use? Did you have to fill in the holes? Looks great!
You guys did an amazing job. Thanks for the inspiration I'm going to using this method for my bathroom Celling its the exact style and color I'm going for but couldn't find a way to make it happen. I looked supper easy and inexpensive at all. Thank you so much for this you guys rock !!
Nice! Did y’all think about varying the length of the planks and decide not to? I’m only wondering about the thought process, so would appreciate a peek into your thinking. Considering this to create an alcove for for my bathtub
I just did my bathroom ceiling with this same product from Home Depot. I would recommend varying the length so there isn't a seam that catches the eye all in one place. It takes a little longer and requires measuring and cutting your ends of each run, but you end up with a little better look. The thing they had going for them in the video is that they ony had a long run on the top 3 planks so it wasn't horrible... if they had done that all the way down the wall it would be really obvious. I'm going to do a wall in my bedroom next. OH... and it is quite inexpensive.
Hi! I actually didn't want to vary the length of the planks for this wall. This is the style I wanted. Varying the length looks nice as well, I did that in my office but for this DIY, I love the way the seamless wood wall looks.
Wood around steam? There is a reason people use everything else possible and keep real wood products away from water and steam. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but research the actual wood to be used and make sure you are using a wood product that won’t expand and shrink or delaminate; or if using real wood, seal it on all sides before installing it (such as with pine tar, tung oil, and pine gum turpentine solution, which was used by ancient mariners to seal wood boats for ocean use and has no modern petrochemical garbage)....
Good luck.
I'm sorry but I have to tell you, this is not a seamless wall if you have one seam running down the entire wall. If you wanted a seamless wall you should have used wood the length of the wall, just saying.
Looks great guys
Awesome, great job guys...but you have a lot to learn
Next time you try this although it turned out great to make it easier the next time if you stain them first you can use the rag the whole time and also if you remove the outlet covers you can put them on after but great job non the less
Awesome JOB LADY! Love your ideas there. Thank you!
I think the stain pad is probably best for floors.
