Hey y'all! We are so excited to get started with DIY's in our new house! This is just the first of many! So, we decided to go room to room and we started with Darryl's music studio! I decided to go with a rustic industrial gentleman feel to it! I chose to go with symmetrical planks versus staggered planks because I wanted a cabin like feel. Staggered planks could look really nice as well. I am so excited for you to see the rest of it!!!

Wall looks great! A few tips for the next project. Stain first, its way easier and looks better. Stagger the joints, it looks way better that way. Cut the boards to that the ends never meet up on the same line. Thumbs up, you guys did great!

[@troylazarus4102]

Also... start at the bottom and hide your nails at the top of each peace so they're covered by the piece above.

[@nickjacoby1295]

I would also take the switches and outlets off and put the planking behind them, then re-install with the tabs over the top of the planking so that your covers sit on top of the planking.

[@philipgwyn8091]

You 2 did a nice job on that wall. A technical point - working from the bottom up is easier. First row has the tongue cut off. Put the nails through the back lip of the groove, so they are invisible.

[@piratesahoy5002]

I usually prefer staggered boards, but aligning them highlights the length of the boards in a way that staggering doesn't. It's a very nice look, as demonstrated perfectly in this project. Another thing, that stain color is gorgeous. Great choice.

[@BushidoPhoto]

You two are so cute doing this project together! It turned out great and will save me a ton of money.

[@kevinlytle1334]

looks great. I think it might be easier to stain before installation. Great job!

[@MyLovelyTexasHome]

It wasn't hard to stain at all after installation. Thanks!

[@TemplarX2]

After better to cover the nails.

[@Amirnake]

It looked harder than it had to be though :)

[@douggarrett5288]

Definitely stain before installation.

[@ashleyrichardson6067]

was just gonna say that would of been easier

[@flypipers3228]

I've been convinced I had to go with actual pallets (ripping them apart, pulling nails, renting a planner, worried about bugs & musty wood smells, etc...) You guys did such a great job. Your husband's patience and attention to precision cutting really paid off. This look adds a lot of rustic warmth to the room. Your choice of staining colors came out gorgeous. I love the fact that the wood is super clean & all the same thickness. Because of your video and how well your accent wall came out, you've convinced me this is the way to go. Thank you both for sharing your awesome project !! Kevin - Greensboro, North Carolina

[@WendyHolsinger-1978]

We used laminated flooring, the wood one that already had it stained the color we wanted, and it was easier. we didn't have to use stain just put on walls. Your walls look nice .

[@roostercogburn5005]

Pretty expensive, but way better look.

[@geofffreund7426]

I just finished a faux brick wall in my pool room/bar and wanted to have a wood look for parts of 2 other walls. I have now found my technique. Thanks!

[@MyLovelyTexasHome]

awesome! we are going to do a faux brick wall in our kitchen soon!!! aw so glad you liked it! awesome! that's going to look awesome. can't go wrong with brick & wood combo!

[@hadassahimmanuel777]

Geoff Freund how do you do faux brick?

[@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101]

Seeing you pour the stain over bare carpet into that clear container made me so tense. lol.

[@kristaspain4298]

There was a piece of Saran wrap their! Because I was thinking the exact same thing LOL

[@joeh4295]

I would pre cut and stain everything before installing.

[@teerich2011]

@@joeh4295 was thinking the same. Would make most sense

[@smeegie13]

The tongue and groove planking is a great idea! I would have cut some smaller pieces so it looks less uniform but overall amazing job! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@MyLovelyTexasHome]

Thanks :) I'm boring, I like uniform lol.

[@supremelysoigne]

graceful + lovely You're not boring! I was looking to improve the ideas I already had in mind (which were multicolored staggered planks) but when I saw this, I LOVED IT! I see the staggered planks style EVERYWHERE, and that sorta turned me off. I guess no one listened to you when you said that you wanted a 'cabin' feel to the walls-which means layered out exactly the way you have them here. I honestly like this better. Thanks for the info on where to get them. Also, thanks for the vid!

[@SteveSorbo]

"It elevates the room," that's going to be my new philosophy/theme for all the home DIY projects my wife and I will be doing. Great project. Loved how it turned out. It has me motivated now! 😊

[@searchtower7874]

Great first time! Everyone learns what they would have done after they're done. Fortunately others will see what to change ahead of time

[@Bales007]

So this does look super simple! I’ve been wanting to do this in my kitchen and a wall in my bedroom. Will be showing my hubby soon and doing this!

[@laurdessvalentino5849]

WOW- I LOVED this video. And I thought... What a cute couple. Thank you for posting this. I am going to try it.

[@bennybuttkiss]

thank you both for the inspiration!!My wife agrees it looks sooo nice and headed to Home Depot tomorrow because if this video,Thank-You for uploading it!!

[@belladux]

when laying out boards, go first row all the way, and start with a leftover, there should never be a single strait line between columns like you have above the right door

[@joachimfriberg]

Just what I thought - the end result looks too sterile otherwise.

[@lucyferina]

Second that staggered just like you do floors looks a lot better. Also you could've stained the boards before installing them.

[@davidwatchesyoutube247]

Can you elaborate? Sounds like a good tip but I’m confused

[@lucyferina]

@@davidwatchesyoutube247 when you start, you place full boards all the way and cut the one at the end, then you start with full boards again from that end and cut the one on the opposite end, that way your boards get staggered.

[@davidwatchesyoutube247]

@@lucyferina right on thank you!

[@1tbaccus]

I love this. Your husband was just so funny when he finally got the cut right over the door. Just to funny. You kids did a great job. Oh the dance was good to. It keeps you in a good mood while you work. Makes things fun.

[@bol.8749]

Wood and white are awesome together best combo ever.

[@ScrapforJesus]

Just watched this and I say Great Job. I never done anything like this and because of this video I went out and got the wood. I can not wait to see how mine turns out. Thanks For Sharing

[@katdm12]

I love this idea! I have been wanting an accent wall in my living room for such a long time but all of the options I had found were either too pricy or difficult to install. this is perfect. Can't wait to try it. :)

[@drivanivan]

He better love it ...because not only does it look awesome lucky he's got a great story to tell everybody about how his wife did it by herself for him to enjoy.Very cool and "thumbs up" girl you knocked it out..!

[@MyLovelyTexasHome]

He does love it :) Thanks so much! It was a team effort :)

[@jorlopez3]

Did you look for studs in the wall before using the nail gun? Did you use a construction adhesive on the back of the paneling? Also, what size nails were in the gun? Sorry for all the Qs. Your wall looks great!

[@therealflamelit]

the planking is so light that you wont need to find the stud if youre using adhesive..but finding the stud is always best in my op

[@woodfloorguy]

Great job! Always is easier if you stain the boards prior to install! Found out the hard way myself years ago....

[@niconicouana]

Love this. Screw the naysayers. Haters will always hate. That's their karma. Layout is a personal choice. Anything short of safety, in fact, is a matter of choice. It looks great and totally enhanced your room. You're happy, your husband is happy...no one else matters. Enjoy your new look!

[@juanpaulr]

Nice. We moved into a house that had maybe 2x4 covering a wall and stained in the master bedroom. We don't even have a head board for our bed because the wall is our head board. Great job you.

[@disisdonpardo]

Great job! Here's a tip...prior to installation of wood...paint the wall a very dark brown or black. This will completely hide any gaps.

[@itskelvinn]

Wow completely changed the look of the room. Looks great!

[@davidrickards]

Beautiful wood and the work you and your husband did with the detail cutting was great!

[@davidchisolm682]

You can do the grooves and joints with the brush. Just a quick tip. Hope it helps.

I love it! Yup! Going to do that to a few walls in our house! I almost did the fake painted on wall! Thanks for stopping me! Shoo!

[@laocchi]

This is the greatest idea ever.. OMG I didn't know they sell the planks like this!!!

[@OurFamilyAdventures]

I LOVE this idea. I love his happy dance after getting it in over that door. :D I want to do this in my house. I have the same nail gun and I use it SO much.

[@TheDivaSpot101]

Growing up, we use to have wood panel walls and they we painted over them. We finally got new walls put in 5 yrs ago...lol You both did a great job!

[@dougiequick1]

Looks great but I personally would chop up the strips so there were staggered joints ...sort of like bricks ....otherwise you end up with a seam which bug me forever. Also I think I would use a few different strains and stain all the cut pieces and THEN nailem up randomly ...if you can picture that? Also by pre-staining you don't get the unfinished gaps you had to use a little brush on meticulously ....of course I have the benefit of learning after the fact from your experience! Again looks great! Love it!

[@kayc5512]

GOOD THING I STUMBLED INTO YOUR VID .. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY SOME WALLPAPER FOR ABOUT THE SAME COST... THIS IS MUCH BETTER.. THANKS...

[@susieq7344]

Great idea and great suggestions in the comments. I would of staggered the wood planks and I found some of the suggestions below very helpful. He sure did a nice job of fitting the wood around the top of the door. Thanks for sharing.

[@jrbowdree1]

Wow! It looks great but I liked it without the stain too.

[@nrfa6229]

I personally think that it looked awesome without staining.

[@MyLovelyTexasHome]

Nrfa you know I went back and forth on whether I should stain it or not. Everybody talking about "you should have stained before" but it was because I was thinking of sticking with the natural wood.

[@hadassahimmanuel777]

graceful + lovely i think i rather stain like you did because it think its messier the other way but both wud do

[@lisarogers5873]

I was thinking yeah stagger the joints but once you got it all done it's fine and it looks beautiful. Great job!

[@BazGardner]

You guys are so great. This video made me feel awesome. What a nice team.

stain it first and also shoot the nails into the groove, that way they're hidden.

J W real talk.

Mr. Obvious...

[@ramyswar296]

Like the groove between the boards?

[@angelgamer1807]

@@ramyswar296 yes, not the tongue but the groove, except where you end cant do it so end in a corner or somewhere you wont see. you do the same thing with wood flooring to hide the nails

J W If it stained the nails aren't seen! Nail gun nails are hard to see anyway! Rustic look nails show! So no dont shoot them in a grove!

lol... I was very careful :)

THIS IS COMPLETELY AWESOME. YOU GUYS DID AN AMAZING JOB. SUCH A GOOD VIDEO

[@robertmirt1301]

Next time you try this although it turned out great to make it easier the next time if you stain them first you can use the rag the whole time and also if you remove the outlet covers you can put them on after but great job non the less

[@radicalaccounting]

I like staining too, lol, but I didn't want to add any color, so I tried Watcom Danish Oil Natural, and love it. Plus it's forgiving, since it's natural (clear).

[@achillestendies7675]

why didn't we remove the switch and plug plates so you can cover cuts around them?

[@DrDennis]

Stagger joints rule one!

[@StretchNEra]

I've just watched a video before yours with someone using laminated floor boards, both projects are very nice and I think I'll attempt to do floor to ceiling headboard for the bedroom.

[@dtom420]

Couple suggestions: 1. The joints where one piece butts to another (end to end, horizontally) board should be randomly spread out. For example, between the door and the closet door, there should have been some joints created. Every board being solid between the doors makes it look fake. Just like on a big, open wood floor there should have been some staggered joints. 2. For a remodel job you would have been better staining all the boards BEFORE you cut them or hung them. This makes for far less danger of messing up the carpet or the trim or even the paint on the remaining painted walls. Also, by pre-staining the boards, you can see what you’re hanging and where; providing you the ability to design the coloration of the wall. Finally, pre-staining means the ONLY things you need to stain, once the wall is finished, are the ends of the pieces you cut and some minor touch-ups. Wall did look great; but a few little changes like these would make it THAT much better! Hope this helps.

[@waterlily1282]

I wanted to do something like this. I'm reading yall comments about stagging the joints ? What does it mean ? I'm a beginner 😅

[@taledamckee4023]

That's what's up- great job! You guys inspire me.

[@mjakersusmc]

I saw a reply to someone's comment where you said that you didn't want to stagger the joints. I didn't see any explanation as to why though. Just personal preference or did you have a method behind it? In future, I'm pretty sure those stain pads are designed for when you're staining decking. I don't think they're really meant to hold the stain into the pad when you've got it held up against a wall like that. I would imagine that if you were to stain a floor you would find it quite useful as you wouldn't have to get down on your knees like with a rag. Something else you might think of doing is staining the wood prior to putting it on the wall. That'll let you get all of the sides very easily... just something to think about if you do something like this again at some point in time. I really like the color and the character that the final product brings to the room. Overall - Good job!

[@XbrawndoX]

that looks great i would have moved the outlet and the switch out though. Thanks for the idea I am definitely doing this in my kitchen

[@prezaricardo1749]

Looks very good, congratulation.. couples recommendation, gloves and keep window open for ventilation

[@jennifermendez9455]

You two look adorable. BTW the wall looks great too.

[@mwest3583]

Proper installation involves cutting the boards into different lengths to stagger them on the wall So you don’t end up with one straight vertical seam where all the boards end.

[@sigilwitch]

You should spray paint the outlet and light switch covers gold or coper 😍 looks amazing!!

[@socheataseu4838]

Hi, I love what you did and take notes, definitely I want to try. I have a question: What do you think if I apply same project to dining table? Is it waterproof, is it doable on dining table, and is it durable, strong enough for a family with two kids? Please share your thought, I appreciate that. Thank you

[@Michelleigram]

Great idea! I want to try this. I will probably stain the wood before putting it up.

[@craftingwithgaby]

Great idea 💡 looks good and I love the stain color

[@oldgriz816]

Looks great , nice 1st time project. A few suggestions if I may...... take the time for small details, take the door moldings and switch plate covers off so your wood covers properly. They make switch box and receptacle box extenders to bring them out flush with the new walls. Staggering the length of the boards will look much better IMHO. You did great and will do even better in the future!

[@PattymacMakes]

Nice job!!! Love your creative take on this! I want to make something that's distressed white for a photo background. But I love this rustic interpretation!!
