Entryway Board and Batten



Board and Batten

Before


Materials:
-1x3x8 primed MDF (home depot)
-white PVC lattice (home depot)
-Valspar latte paint (top half) (lowes)
-White paint semi-gloss (bottom half) (already had)


Process:
-Put MDF chair rail up first then lattices second
-Caulked around the board with white paint-able caulk
-Painted it white (should have painted the wall first it would have been way easier)


After

(Target $25)


-Caulking is a must because if not there would be cracks between where the boards meet the wall.
-I chose lattice because it doesn't hang over the original base boards by much.

Pictures hung :-)
