I'm so glad it was helpful!

So I have done this same beadboard accent wall a couple times over the years and typically I just place the 1x4 right on top/above the beadboard and then caulk the seam between them. This particular wall that I made the video with, we actually used a router table and routed out a small channel/groove on the back of the 1x4 so that it would sit slightly flush over the beadboard a hair. It is not necessary at all to do it this way and I didn't include it in the video because I thought it was a little advance and most people don't have a router.

Of course! :)

I'm so happy it could be helpful!

Thank you!

You're welcome! :)

If you mean, how easy is it to pull the boards off the wall, if you haven't caulked the edges you can just give the boards a really good tug and you'll be able to pull them off the wall. If you have caulked the edges, then you would want to use a carpet knife to cut between the caulk and wall and then pull the boards off. I like to use a trim puller also to pull the boards off.

@mrsashleyfrench awesome thank you. Great video by the way. I ask because my wife and I live in an apartment and we have a baby on the way and I would like to do this in the nursery so I wanted to see if it was easily removed (renter friendly)

@@luke50469 If you are renting, I would just skip the caulking where the boards meet the wall. Then the boards will pull off pretty easily and you'll only be left with tiny holes in the wall from the brad nails that can be filled with nail hole filler or maybe even just paint.

@mrsashleyfrench that's what I was thinking too! Thank you again for your input and making am awesome video explaining everything very thoroughly. I'm subscribed now!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! That was my goal :)

I added both the baseboards and window trim myself, however neither are needed to accomplish this accent wall. This accent wall can be done exactly the same without adding either of those. People can do this right on their existing baseboards. If you were a follower of mine, you would have seen that I have shared a tutorial on how to add this and keep your existing baseboards.

This color is called Mount Etna

Thank you!

They are pricey. I think it could be a nice feature wall on a smaller wall or area as opposed to a big blank wall. Back when I did this project, the panels were about 25% cheaper but they have raised the prices since then.

@@mrsashleyfrench thank you for replying . Even though they are pricey, they still look good. I’ll have to come up with another cheaper idea for my living room.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

You're welcome :)

If you are able to use MDF that is the same thickness as your baseboards that would definitely be the easiest option. If you end up using MDF that is thicker, I did make a video on my instagram showing a solution to this problem. Here is the video: instagram.com/reel/Cg-ocUGMDNU/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

@@mrsashleyfrench thank you

Thank you!

I use both but Frog Tape is my preferred brand.

If you are changing the wall color, I would paint the wall first and even the boards of you can before installing. Or just paint the wall the new color and then paint the boards the new color after you install them.

So the top boxes should be the same width as the bottom boxes, that way the vertical boards on the bottom line up with the vertical boards on the top, but the top boxes will be smaller in height than the bottom.

@@mrsashleyfrench thank you for your response!

I cut in only once and make sure to do a thick coat on the cutting in that would be equivalent to if I had done two coats of cutting in. So I cut in just once, then I roll on two coats.

Hi there! I haven' had the need to skim coat any walls yet. My walls do have an orange peel texture but I leave it be and do all my accent walls on them as they are :)

@@mrsashleyfrench Good morning! Thank you so much for your reply. I am actually thinking of doing the same thing, but you make these accent walls look so easy! They are so beautiful and give the room so much character and class! Definitely seems easier than skim coating my whole house with mud! 🙂 I am going to be studying your tutorials. Only thing is that I am afraid of those miter saws. 😕

@@carmenmendez7896 I was afraid when I first started too. Watch my "How to use a Miter Saw" video and I recommend starting with a small miter saw to feel more comfortable. One with a 7.25" blade is a great smaller size for a beginner.

@@mrsashleyfrench Thank you so much for the advice and I am definitely going to watch your "How To" video! 🥰 I am so happy I found you!

Just make sure it’s gel stain 😊

@@mrsashleyfrench how does it hold o long-term?

it’s been two years and we haven’t experienced any fading or issues with them.

It was bought 4 years ago and I think it was actually just from Walmart online.

Thank you!

😕

Not all the nails in the vertical boards will hit a wood stub behind the drywall since the studs are spaced 16" apart and my vertical boards don't line up perfectly with the studs. But you don't need to hit a stud. In the video I show how I angle my nail gun a bit and shoot the nails in a bit at an angle to create an X which tightly hugs the boards to the wall. A 2" brad nail is sufficient to hold these kinds of boards to the wall without hitting a stud.

@@mrsashleyfrench i also see you said you never glue. Have you had any issues with the boards not staying put?

I’ve never used glue and I’ve never had any issues. I’ve done probably 7 walls like this and never had a board fall off. You’d have to pry them off to remove them.

Yes, most table saws have the ability to move the saw blade and do a beveled cut. I would only do this if you need a beveled but along the edge of a long sheet of wood like plywood. I wouldn't use a table saw for smaller boards.

I usually go up 60% of the wall with the board and batten. I just think that looks the best.

My walls are 8ft high and the board and batten measures 60" from the floor to the top of the horizontal board (that includes the 6" baseboard).

I hope it helped :)

Absolutely! I've seen that stuff and it would be a great idea to use it!

The color is Mount Etna by Sherwin Williams and the entryway white color is just Pure White by Sherwin Williams.

You're welcome! You got this!!

That's what I keep hearing from so many people! :)

You're welcome! :)

Can you suggest some better alternatives? I am always open to a more environmentally friendly option.
