I have always known that our house yells "builder grade" and it is time I do something about it. I found this wonderful (affordable) board and batten tutorial and have decided to dive right in.
I am making my measurements tonight and plan to pick up my materials tomorrow (on my way home from my 3rd interview! crossing my fingers). The only problem I foresee is this...
The measurement from the top of the baseboard to the bottom of the ledge is 40.5 inches.
The measurement from the top of the baseboard to the bottom of the light switch is 40 inches. Which means the board and batten would need to be at 39.5 inches. I am just afraid it might look funny if the board and batten doesn't go all they way up on the half wall (all the way to the ledge).
I'll play with it a little and hopefully come up with a solution!
This will hopefully be the last picture of my oh so boring hallway...
Wish me luck!
See if you can find a smaller switch plate! That way the board and batten could extend to 40.5 inches... It's worth a look!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Can't wait to see the finished product!
