- My entry way looked way too boring, so I decided to put up board and batten wainscoting. This completely transformed my home and you can do yours too!

I'm glad you're sticking with making videos! Seeing the way you find simple work arounds to everyday problems is inspiring. Keep up the good work! ;)
Great way to make a big improvement in how it looks - really brightens it up too!
: ) Thanks John. I agree that it brightens it up. I'm notorious for painting with dark colors, even in small spaces, so this is a good way to open it back up but still get my dark color in there.
What I like it most is that you did not use fancy tools. You make it look so easy... sorry for my English, not my native language.
Thank You!! I'm working on this in my dining room and, as a single mother with no help from a man, I love the tutorials done by women. So inspiring! Getting to work on it now!
Young lady, you are a true inspiration! Awesome. I wish I had known someone like you when I was younger and healthier.
Good job April, It sure improved the look of the entrance. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making video short and sweet, and to the point. Looks awesome!
Looking good! A handy thing to keep around for cutting sheet goods on the floor is a sheet of rigid foam insulation board. You can cut into it hundreds of times, and it's light to move/store.
Adds a lot of character to the entrance! Love it! Have a Happy Labour Day!
I like to see young people realize one fact, getting started is usually the highest hurdle, of course you have to have availability of tools and your budget must have some room in it for the projects you want to tackle. While some of your projects have flip flopped a little on the engineering, they turn out nice, and work. When Massman Johnson built their suspension bridge across the Mississippi River, they remarked, anyone can engineer a bridge if you give them enough resources. Their bridge turned out to be eloquent and highly functional. You have a great insight about the mechanics, I don't know if you fully understand the fullest functionality of the form, but it's hard to argue with great results. I like your videos and like the steps you follow and the way you keep your projects manageable. Naturally there are different realms and scopes, in the spectrum of home improvement that most young couples could pull off with a few helpful pointers, you are very good at filling that niche. I wish you all of the very best and am thankful for people like you who dare to get started.
First video of yours I've seen, and it is awesome. Perfectly straightforward, and honest with the work. Great work!
I think the after is way better than the before. And I know them racks are gonna be nice in the winter. Thanks for sharing
one of the most gifted woman and a talented woman in the world...I really appreciate your knowledge...
I like your work. You are very clean and thorough. I also like the different projects that you do. They are fun and interesting to watch.
Turned out very nice April! I like how you used the hardboard for a smooth surface.
Beauty AND talent together!!! Great job April! I really enjoyed that shade of white that you are wearing on your leg! You could be a trend setter someday.
Awesome video April. I really like the coat hooks you put in. Your guests will feel welcome right at the entry when they can drop their coat and not have to go through your closet to find it again. Your place really looks warm and inviting. Or as you say, "prettier and more welcoming"
Thanks so much! Going to do this in our bathroom and your video really helps me prepare and visualize how I'm going to do it. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Wow! Brightens the whole entryway! Good job!!!
This looks like a simple project foe an area my wife wants me to improve next to the garage entry door. Looks easy and low cost. I really like the way you make do with what you have. Sorta where a lot of us live. Tip for caulking.... Take an expired credit card or debit card. Shape the corners to whatever shape/size you need and use it to clean the caulked corner. Works like a charm
What a pleasure to watch you, very detailed and simple. Good job on the wall and video!
Ms. Wilkerson thank you for creating these wonderfully detailed and easy to follow videos. :)
That works really well and I think you made a good choice in covering the textured wall with hardboard.
I love how giddy you get when you complete certain projects =)
I salute your teacher or instructor who ever taught you this engineering. Thumsup.
That looks fantastic! What a awesome transformation to your entryway! Great job! 💕
With these girls and for life it is easy to walk ....
They are such clever people!
You have better than average skill level and all the right tools. You got beautiful results! I don't have textured walls so I'm considering placing the rails and styles right on top the freshly painted, (new) drywall. Great job! Good video!
So glad I found your channel. You've given a lot of ideas
Amazing job and yet you made it look so easy. Thanks April.
April, very nicely done. Thank you for a thought on a very small space I have in my entry-way, I think of using your idea of the hooks on the very front of my closet door for the winter months for quicker access and drying time too. fabulous job there sister...!!
I like this. You changed the look and it looks awesome.
It looks great, you make it look so easy. I've been enjoying your videos. Thanks.
Keep up the great work! I appreciate the time you have put in to making these videos! I like the back of hand note taking.
you make it look easy. I am confident that if you can, i can. Love it
I'm so glad I watched this video. I would have never thought of using hardboard!!! 😍 thanks!
April - That looks fantastic! I am going to have to do this myself. Thanks for sharing.
Im really liking this. I have always wanted to try something I saw in Ikea once. They ripped simple 2x4's, cut them to about 6ft (maybe a bit shorter) simply put them on the wall. It looked like a very tall wainscotting idea and I loved how they put a picture rail on the top so you wouldnt need to put holes in the walls. I will try this at some point and Ill send you the pics when I do. Good job!
Nice Job I've got paneling all around my basement Ive painted it all it looks nice but it needs something , thanks for making it look fun & easy !!
Great work! your construction was done 100% right. Great Job! love your videos
Lovely. Something about hearing advice from another woman that I just love. Well done video. Subscribed.
I might be doing this in a small hallway... of course the first result of my internet search turned up your video! 😁 ...thanks for the help April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
What a transformation. Great idea! Really took a standard wall and made it stand out. Nice work April.
Thank ya, thank ya. : )
Awesome April you make it look simple.
I’m glad I found your channel. I’m going to use these ideas in our home as well.
What could possibly be in this video that 233 people didn't like? I love watching you, April, and seeing how far your skills have come since this date!
Fantastic Job! This video is going to be a great help for when I do this to my home. Thanks!
i luve her videos especially the way she presents everything is amazing ....
Thanks for doing what you do. You're a really good role model for my daughter who we're trying to teach that girls can do the same stuff boys can. Keep up the good work.
: ) Well tell her I say hello.
Belo trabalho April, muito bem executado, parabéns. Você é mesma muito dedicada, objetiva e uma excelente profissional.
: ) Thank you
Nice work doing it yourself. The coat hangers were a good idea and look great!
Thanks April. Another great video. I think that what makes your videos so interesting is that you're not afraid to show your mistakes. There are so many wood working videos showing you how to do the right thing. Why don't people make videos on what not to do? Anyway, cheers.
Thanks David, I appreciate that. : ) Well it probably isn't intentional that these other guys don't show mistakes. I'm a newbie so I'm always making them, but these other guys are so good that they probably don't run into problems as often as I do. Know what I mean? So somebody like John can probably go through several projects without making, and therefore showing, a mistake.
Turned out pretty good! That's a fancy stud finder too!
I'm tackling this project this weekend for all the walls in our office. Should be an adventure! Thanks for the tips!
Great job April, it looks really nice.
surprising how much of a difference it made,,,, great work April, ,,, another project to add to my to do list,,,,lol
Your entry way is gorgeous...all except for the narrow shutters on the window beside the door. And...I must say, I love your proficiency with the tools. I want to be like that! Fearless!
Really,you are very talented ,very efficient lady i seen in my life.I watched your all the videos.All are good.Highly appreciating.Thanks for uploading.
Great work! A caulking screed works very well for a square and clean finish. About $5 at home depot.
Great job. Nice addition to your entry way.
Well done April, it added nice detail.
Thanks Carl. : )
Great project. Now, I know what to do for my half-bath walls. Thank you.
Nice touch on the entry way, the White goes well with the tile and is a nice accent to the darker painted wall.
Regards,
Bob
Good stuff! Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more of your projects.
oh, look...a puppy! Hilarious. Love your channel and your choice of wood working projects. I'm new to DIY stuff and find your channel inspirational =)
Love your channel and your choice of wood working project
Looks awesome! I love your skill and work! Keep making the videos as us gals who are DIY er's love learning..... ( am hands on learner!) Thanks sista!
That's a good spot for winter stuff too because it's just over the vent to dry it quicker :)
Looks really nice, thanks for the video
Your finished work looks great!
April, that is such nice work! Great Job!
April very good vid. I am in the middle of making a sit down bench / storge in our entry way. The frame is complete I was going to use raised panels. However, since it is winter. I will use your methode since all the cuts are straight cuts. With an over all pleasing / inviting look to it. Have not seen your videos in a while. I will have to catch up what I have missed. Take care and keep up the good work.
Great job. Might suggest using a 'standard' length spacer between your 'battons' or, stiles. Cut one to your desired separation length and use it to space accordingly. The less you use the tape measure, the better your joints will be...;) Not a dig, just passing on a tip I learned from an old pro years ago.
I have watched now a couple of your videos. Great projects... great video quality. I'll watch more... get some inspiration for future projects.
End result looks great...well done!
Wow very impressive, great look for the wall and the coat hooks are a nice addition and idea. I just found your channel and am going to continue viewing. Great job!!!
@AprilWilkerson that looks charming. I love that hubby not only is entertaining the puppy but he doesn't try to take over...
Great job April it looks excellent,one of our little puppies loves her belly getting scratched as well..:)
cheers Mick!!!
Awesome project. I may do the same in my back hallway between bedrooms and bathroom. Something to add besides paint. Good job. I have very textured walls, them being plaster. But I've thought of this before. I was going to just skim coat with drywall mud, to smooth it out. But maybe I'll go simple and use the thin hardboard like you. Good job again.
Really nice project and great video with (as always) good instructions.. Thank you April.
wow that looks really nice! great job!
April...very nice. It gives me an idea for my house. Thanks for your videos.
came out really good - you make it seem so easy. you also have quite a nice collection of power tools and what i believe to be a wood shop - am jealous
end result was very nice. I was impressed. Thanks for the video
That looks very nice!!! Wow!!
Nice project. It came out looking good.
Really nice, April. Livens up the entryway.
Very easy! I've wanted to do this in the living room, but was nervous of all the trimming.... This looks a lot easier than what I had in mind!
Dave Richardson I thought this project was so very simple. The hardest part is the block of time but if that doesn't bother you then it will be a breeze! I dont have kids so I don't mind my entryway being a wreck for a few days, so I took my time and stretched it over four. : ) Either way, I hope you do it!
Nice looking addition to your entry hall. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice. I like the coat hooks even just for ornamental purposes.
What an absolute pleasure it was to watch you expertly go through each step of this beautifully done project! Cutting your own wood strips was cost effective and inspiring! Love it!
superbe démonstration de votre savoir faire ainsi que votre esprit de créativité
Great job and you did the right thing by using the hardboard it turned out really nice Thanks for sharing
April, I came across your channel with the barn door absolutely genius my wife and I love to watch your videos.
You should look into Ron Paulk's videos and his awesome work station I think you would really enjoy using it instead of your work table with all the sawhorses. I've seen my neighbors Ron Paulk work station and it's a great design and plan on building one myself.
Keep up the good work thanks for all the ideas.
Thank you. I plan on doing mine myself and you gave me some great info.
great job, looks alot more open and welcoming
You go girl! Awesome job.
New subscriber here. Newbie woodworker too. Looking forward to learning from you. Thanks a bunch for sharing your time.
Love it lady, I was looking for a way to do my living room, this will do just fine.
Inspiring!! You make me think I can do it!! Girl Power!!
You can do it!
Nice! I really like that look. Great colors.
great work
I like your garage/workshop!
