PROJECT: LIVING ROOM....WEEK 2

Ok...so it is week 2 and at least 1/4 of the living room walls has undergone a major transformation.

The idea is to create an accent wall without using paneling, wallpaper, chair rail, contrasting paint color, or any of the other one hundred things that everyone else does. We decided to use the length of the wall to our advantage and create molding boxes on it (not 100% original, but I can only find 2 examples on the internet, so it can't be that common).

Since really there would only be one picture of the finished product, and that would make for a very short blog...I decided to take a few pictures along the way.

First, I framed the wall, and then hung the vertical slats.




Next comes the horizontal slats. These are much more precise cuts. There is lots of work with a footprint bevel and the Miter Saw. 

Measure, like a paranoid schizo!


Saw like a blind man. 

How cool is this nail gun.

So cool there is 2 shots! 

This is basically what it is going to look like...



Till next week...
