DIY BOARD AND BATTEN PANELLING | DIY WALL PANELLING TUTORIAL | EILIDH WELLS

hello everyone i'll get coffee over me so today's sunday the 2nd of august and i'm going to be doing my wall paneling today i'm having a wee coffee to get myself ready andy's taking the kids to the park to give a wee bit of background i did my hallway last year and all we really did with it was painted one wall i did my mirror on the wall up the stairs but it's always just felt a little bit undone i feel like in the last year everybody else and the house has come together like we've done the living room i've done my bedroom i've done the boys room since doing that and i just feel like the hallway needs updated so i've been looking for ages on pinterest and tech talk and instagram as usual and i have fallen in love with board and bat and panel and i absolutely love it especially in a hallway and i saw a tech talk where the girl had the exact same like plain white wall as me and she did this boarding pattern style which is just like strips of wood with a space in the middle and then another ship of wood painted it put a little shelf along it some coat hooks on it it looks amazing i want to try and do that myself do you know why this is this has been in my coffee that is why i'm getting soaked i'm gonna see how this works i really don't know i feel like i've been quite nervous to do this diy when i've been fine with everything else i usually feel quite optimistic about trying things but there's something about panel and it really scares me because i really don't want to do it wrong i'll show you what we're planning on doing i do plan on going all the way up the stairs and going um up the stairs and then doing upstairs upstairs as well but at the moment i'm going to try on this wall here so this is just a plain wall it used to have the wooden frames on i did take them down the other day because i'm going to replace them with gold square frames i got from decennial so what i want to do is have the paneling and i want to have it about this height maybe and i want to have the top halfway and the bottom have painted now you can see this paint sample here that's because i did originally think i was going to do color on the top and white paneling but i've changed my mind since then i think it's more effective to have the paneling painted so i'm going to do that a nice neutral color i want to bring every room together with a really neutral hallway and i'm not decided what paint i want to use yet i've been looking where's my samples i really like this color here it's like a very um if you can see it's just a really nice neutral um i also liked egyptian cotton by dulux and then i also got these samples from um valspar and i think my favorite from all of these is actually this one which let me show you against egyptian cotton because that's kind of like a universal color i think everyone knows what egyptian cotton is like so that's ejection cotton and this is the one i think i'm gonna do so it'll contrast against the white did you have fun at the park yeah yeah good but come and see marcus quickly because you guys haven't seen cake mammoth did you go to the park with us it's just taking the kids down to the in-laws and this is the strips of wood that we have from being cute so i the way that i measured this let me show you i had to just kind of guess it first of all of how i wanted it to look so i guess the height guess the height but i put i figured out roughly where i wanted it to be and i rounded it up to 120 it was about 120 above the skirting um and then i just tried to like do it by eye to get an idea first of all but then i started thinking because we're doing this as a diy i want to have like the minimal amount of sewing and like i want to make it simple as possible so one of the things that i looked at was this we have this socket here and i wanted to make sure that i didn't have to cut around the socket originally i had looked at panels at the panels being at 10 centimeters which would have been a bit further up which would have meant we had to cut around the plug socket which i don't have to do so i took it down to seven and this means it just slots right under there which will be a lot easier because all we're doing is having to glue it down and then also i had to try and think about how it would be going around this um radiator so at first i thought i want to have a strip here and then a big space and then come down but obviously then that would mean cutting around the plug socket so what i've actually done is we're gonna have a strip up here it's going to come along and then it's going to come down here and actually i think it'll be quite easy just to put a strip like further down um behind the radiator yeah just little things like that i think are going to make things a bit easier for us i think i think this should be straightforward and once i decided how thick they were going to be i've tried to just guess roughly how many panels i wanted and then worked out the space that i need to do in between when i actually went to get the wood ordered i thought i was asking for 70 ml thick strips of wood and then all these different lengths but when they cut it in bnq he was really just cutting it in like one big sheet of mdf into the thickness of strips that i wanted which is actually easier because then it means that i've got a saw all i have to do is just saw the length that i want and and it's just a lot easier to do it that way and it means i've got so much wood and and i'll be able to panel possibly to this side today as well i don't know i really don't know how this is gonna okay so i've got no more nails this is the top thing that was recommended to stick it to the wall i have that's just another little paint sample that had oh i've not tried this actually this was natural hessian so this is a primer not primer a steeler kind of thing to put over the banister once i've decided what is i'm doing and so that that that's our separate project and i get this little thing and we have like caulk just to fill in the gaps although it looks like this might go on quite flat this is the reason why i wanted to use mdf because pain a lot of people use thick pain but i have a feeling that our walls aren't going to be really straight so i thought this might work a bit easier and then i also got a primer to put on to the mdf once we're done so that i can paint it [Music] tomorrow okay so i've decided to put these in please first and then i'm going to glue them we put the bit along the top so that we can make sure that the whole thing's level so we've measured that we then level that so that it's perfect and then these are going to slot in the middle these are 100 centimeters long so i feel like the height is absolutely perfect for what i want it to be um i'm just gonna cut more of these and i'm gonna as we go add them in and this progressed very quickly i feel like this took a lot less time than i thought it was going to take that was probably like an hour including chopping the wood um and then andy's just filling it with the wood filler and once that's dry and we sanded it then i can prime it and paint it okay here we are this only took us like an hour i can't actually believe how long i put this off because um i felt like it was going to be a really big job because it's just not so i'm just primed all and we just use that wood filler to go in and and fill in little gaps because this is the thing the thing is with walls they're never fully straight so you will always have like we got so fill them all in and then you just have to stand it back once it's dry and then that's it clean up all this mess because this is the wood filler stuff all over the floor but yeah i'm really really happy with that and it was just so easy to do so easy we have loads of these strips of wood left so the next thing to do is actually think we're going to do this but here i'm actually i think i'm going to measure it out and see how that would work so we're leaving it for today um i can't remember what my last update was but i've done all the priming unless i even went and done this side um which i think looks a lot better it's like two days later because i've just not had a chance um but i have like an hour just now and oliver's went to his nursery for a wee settling and thing and marcus is sleeping and andy went to being cute and got the paint last night so so this is valspar a sling your rook it's called it's just like a really nice beige stoney kind of color i just really hope it goes on nicely if you just never know by a sample and i haven't painted any of it on the wall i just took the card sample so it's a bit of a gamble first coat done i am loving this color it's absolutely perfect i'm gonna let this first coat dry and i'm gonna go over it again and then try and be more precise i don't have any frog tape so it's day whatever three i don't even know now um because this has been spaced out over the whole week but yesterday we put our frames up and we finished the painting and i'm so so happy with this so let me give you a good view okay so this is what the end result is i'm saying end result we are still waiting on some some prints to go in here and these frames were gifted to me as part of a previous decennial collaboration this isn't sponsored or anything um but i've put the three prints up here i was actually planning on doing maybe four prints but i wanted to leave a gap at either side for the doors because i do have two young children and they will open the doors and they'll bash off the frames and i didn't want that so um yeah i'm just so happy with it the color is absolutely perfect i did this side as well um and like you can see down here i still need to paint this little bit but for now i'm so happy with it the next thing that i'll be doing is this side but we are actually um we are actually going to be getting our loft converted this is a bit of a new um project like i haven't even finished one project the next one starts but and we've been talking about getting our love done for a week and the opportunities came up for us to get it done and we've managed to get a really good price from someone and i think we're going to do it sooner rather than later hopefully it will be finished everything before christmas and that means that the hole is going to get really really messy so i don't really want to do it all the way up and if i i've heard that things can get bashed on the way up the stairs and stuff so i'm not going to do the paneling just now on this side which is appreciated because i want to finish it and i want to see what it's all going to look like but i wanted to put this video up and just um show you how we did this wall i hope you've enjoyed
