WAVE TOP BEHR PAINT UPDATE

My hallway has 2 walls that are different lengths, so make sure you check that on yours as well! The beadboard panels I recommended above come in strips 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall, and the long finger-joint boards come in 8 ft long strips! My walls were about 13.3 ft and 9 ft long, so I had 22.3 ft to cover width-wise.

First things first– measure your space.

I’ll explain every step along with what tool you use for it, it’s going to be easy! let’s do this easy hallway update Now, don’t worry– it looks worse than it is. x 96 in.) (quantity you need will depend on your wall length)ĭepending on if you’ve done any DIYs like this before, you may have some of these tools! Like I mentioned before, we’ve never done any DIYs (I don’t think our past apartment management would’ve appreciated that), so we had no tools! We pretty much bought everything EXCEPT a brad nailer! Kim was sweet enough to lend hers to us for a bit so we could knock this out! Trim Board Primed Pine Finger-Joint (Common: 1 in. Radiata Pine Finger Joint Primed Board (quantity you need will depend on your wall length) We didn’t have the whole setup for a table saw, so it was a smaller (seemingly easier) option, but I would go with a circular saw or even better, a multi tool! We’ll talk more about this later, don’t worry!ġ in.

We went with reciprocating saw and I’ll tell you now I wish we hadn’t. reciprocating saw (the one we used linked here), multi tool, circular saw, your choice.sanding sponge– I know nothing about grit and what that means, I just picked this one up and it worked like magic!.wood filler– I got the kind that is pink when you put it on and turns brown when it’s dry, but you don’t have to get that!.caulking gun (you will use this for the caulk and the construction adhesive).brad nailer and brad nails (depending on the brad nailer you use/have, you may need an air compressor, but I’ve linked one HERE that doesn’t require one– it just needs a battery pack).beadboard panels (we just picked THESE up from Home Depot).I’ll skip ahead and just let you know right now, it really wasn’t so bad!! And if I can do it, you SURELY can too– I promise! Let me walk you through it! Just so lifeless and boring, it needed something!! Now, if you know me (still Kelsey here), you know I’ve never done a DIY… in my whole life. Shocking since I work with Kim all day every day, I know! I’ve just never really considered myself a DIY-er or someone who even COULD DIY if I wanted to! But nonetheless, I wanted and NEEDED a change in this hallway, but didn’t want to dish out the funds to hire professionals, so I decided I would dig in and just go for it. Hi there– it’s Kelsey! In case you don’t know, I work for Kim at Salvaged Living and similar to her, I ALSO recently moved! My husband and I bought our first home and boy has it been fun… and stressful!! So many ideas (maybe too many) and not enough budget to execute them all! It’s pretty hard to decide where you want to dig in first, but this hallway hurt my soul every time I walked through. Now… you might be thinking, “Kim, you aren’t a beginner, so how can you say that?” Well, Kelsey is! And she is going to share HER easy hallway update with you right now… getting started Hallways can be a tough space to work with– what do you put there, if anything? Do you have space for anything functional? How do you make sure it isn’t overcrowded? These are just some of the questions I had… and may very well be the same as the thoughts swirling through your head right now! If that is the case, I’m about to show you a super easy hallway update– I think you’re going to LOVE it! It’s pretty easy on the budget, doesn’t take a ton of calculations or deep thought (we don’t love that around here), and is PERFECT for beginners!
