This is like the perfect how-to video. You show all the details, even the exact kind of plywood you used, which is just what I was interested in finding out. Good job!!
Hey there! Loved your video. We are just starting to consider adding some paneling ourselves to some walls. Do you have an estimate of how much more cost effective DIYing with plywood is, as opposed to using shiplap panels?
It really depends on how big the area you're covering is! Real shiplap planks can be about $10-12 per board at 12ft. I spent $60 on two 4ft x 8 ft plywood to do the bathroom, and also another reason I wanted to use plywood is because we could use 1/4″ thick plywood which works better for wall treatments when you want to keep your existing baseboards and you need to keep the total wall treatment thinner than door casings. Real shiplap is typically 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick.
For me the hardest part is locating studs and knowing when to use 2 inch nails and when to use 1 inch nails for dry walls. Do you have any tips and tricks for nailing more confidently and avoiding plumbing/electrical behind the walls?
A stud finder with electric sensors helps with knowing where electrical wires are located. Most plumbing should have a nail plate installed on the stud to protect against damaging them. Drywall is typically 1/2" to 3/4" thick so you want to go into the stud at least twice the thickness of your material plus the drywall. That's the best way I've found to decide which size nail to use.
It is so beautiful! I would love to do the same in my bathroom but I wonder how you keep it clean? Dont you splash it with water or (sorry for the phrase) urine by accident? I want so much to make it like this but I am afraid.
@@AngelaMarieMade Ok. You give me courage. I will give it a try. I have bought ceramic tiles like wood floor so I believe it will be perfect a wall like this. Thank you for your answer. Keep up the good work!👏🤩🥰
Not at all, the paint and primer helps to seal the wood and drywall so that there is minimal water exposure. It would have to be sitting in water for an extended period of time to rot out. Great question, though! Thank you!
Just a little suggestion but I would say just paint the wall and all the boards before installing it. Then when done you can caulk, touch up or just paint the whole area again.
No, but I have done it with using 1/4" plywood and it is much cheaper. If you are looking for a cost friendly alternative check out this post I did: angelamariemade.com/diy-shiplap-accent-walls/

Very cool. This is what I wanted to do with my bathroom and behind the toilet - just a nice board look with a chunky bottom and top.
That's awesome to hear, thank you!
@@AngelaMarieMade Kinda playing with some different spacing and wood ideas but for sure behind the toilet. Happy building!

Thank you!!! We clean it like any wall with general cleaning products.

Pretty! What color and brand of paint did you get? Thanks!
Thank you! It's Mindful Gray by Sherwin Williams, in eggshell.
Wonderful 😳❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
How thick should plywood sit?
Dumb question, but with moisture/water im the bathroom, will the wood not rot?
Not at all, the paint and primer helps to seal the wood and drywall so that there is minimal water exposure. It would have to be sitting in water for an extended period of time to rot out. Great question, though! Thank you!
Did they do all your cuts at the hardware store? How much did that cost you?
They say its about 25 cents per cut but they didn't end up charging me for the cuts.
How wide are the pieces?
Just a little suggestion but I would say just paint the wall and all the boards before installing it. Then when done you can caulk, touch up or just paint the whole area again.
Great suggestion, Gary!
Could you link your flooring, please?
Sure! Here is the link for the flooring: rstyle.me/+XZSHXml-WUOEpCTLbEMGXQ

Is not cheap
