Hi Ashley I just bought the materials to install this board and batten . I love the style you created very much! I’m not a DIYer by all means, but I’m willing to try. This will be installed in my front entry. The wall is 9 ft wide by 10 ft tall. Using the inch calculator, it states that if I want 4 , the width should be 20 1/4 inches. I’m wondering if the top boxes should be that size box, or if it would look better if it was a bit narrower. What are the measurements you have for the top boxes? What is a good rule of thumb for the top box measurements? New subscriber. Love your channel Tfs

[@mrsashleyfrench]

So the top boxes should be the same width as the bottom boxes, that way the vertical boards on the bottom line up with the vertical boards on the top, but the top boxes will be smaller in height than the bottom.

Hi Ashley, if the baseboard thickness is around 0.5 inch and if i use mdf board with 1 inch thickness.. will that look odd? Shall i use 0.5 inch thick mdf board. Not planning on removing the base board

[@mrsashleyfrench]

If you are able to use MDF that is the same thickness as your baseboards that would definitely be the easiest option. If you end up using MDF that is thicker, I did make a video on my instagram showing a solution to this problem. Here is the video: instagram.com/reel/Cg-ocUGMDNU/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
