- How to DIY board and batten walls are easy and simple to do. This demonstration shows an installation of trim pieces as the battens but instead of adding new boards, I used mud to smooth out my textured skip trowel wall. Use this hack for any space that you want to upgrade to achieve that board and batten look. Make sure to prime before you paint so you have a good base to cover up those mud patches!

![BOARD AND BATTEN TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS [+ Mistakes to avoid with this easy DIY!!]](/img/1.gif)
You’re the first RUclipsr that I found that defines the terms you use so that a true beginner will understand- thank you
I appreciate that! I try to help help anyone who wants to be able to get these types of projects done on their own, but it feels overwhelming. Start somewhere and keep learning. :) thanks for watching and commenting
This is a beautiful way to spruce up the bathroom walls. Nice work 😊
Thank you!! Appreciate the watch and comment! You do great stuff too!!
You mention the difference in thickness of your boards. That’s the trouble I ran into. The vertical boards are slightly thicker than my horizontal boards. I used same boards you used for horizontal baseboard and top board. For vertical boards I used door and window casing bc I already had some. I wasn’t sure how to resolve the difference bc all are nailed to the wall. Considered sanding at an angle, but worry each one will look different. You used mud rather than wood putty? Would you do it the same way or differently another time? Looks great!
Yeah this is where it gets tricky and it's all dependant on the look you want to go for and what is currently installed in your home + cost. The standard thickness of baseboard, at least in the states is USUALLY 9/16 or ⅝ in. So you did essentially what I did. I had some extra door and window packs around the house, decided I could use those up, then buy a few more to complete the look. To your point, they are thicker than the baseboards installed so I took drywall mud, and created a ramp looking thing that blended the baseboards together and it turned out really nice. The problem is... after it dries months later... it can crack and then you see it and it looks funny anyways. The window and door trim was the MDF skinny width look that i wake because anything I found at home depot or lowes, the "thinner than my current baseboard" trim was too wide and i didn't like it and I didn't want to go the wood route. It's a long winded answer but here's what I would do if I were to do it again.
If I was hellbent on the look of the window and door trim width, I would get them but then reinstall baseboards that were thicker. It's a better look, more complete, and not any jenky workarounds. Especially with such a small room like this, it would have been worth it. If I just wanted a complete look and didn't want to screw with the baseboards, I'd just find any mdf trim that the thickness is thinner and deal with the width look.
@@ColtonCrumpDIY thanks!
@JJ-ww8wr totes! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I don’t enunciate the “t”s either, but I too am in Utah.
Right?! It's such a thing here. Mountain... moun-en lol. Thanks for commenting friend!
Such a huge improvement!! Love it!
Thank you! It was a long time project that just sat there so I'm really glad how it turned out! I do believe you were the mind behind this so good job!
@@ColtonCrumpDIY when you say “mind”…I believe you mean genius…I was the genius behind this. Haha thanks babe!
Hahaha welcome! 😘
Great video! Thank you! Where did you get your boards? Are they wood or MDF? TY!
Thank you! Yes they are MDF. I put a link to them in the description. Hope that helps! :)
How did you connect the vertical pieces to the existing floor trim?
I just set them on top. There was such a minor difference from the existing baseboard thickness to this trim that you can barely tell.
Would I be able to apply a skim coat on a painted wall?
That's what I did. When I took the mud and skimmed the wall to even it all out, my wall was painted a white eggshell color. If you do decide to do it, get a good primer before you painted your desired final color or else you'll get what's called flashing in the light when you look at it from different angles.
