Donnie, I listen to rain while I sleep but lately I’ve been falling asleep to DIY videos! I said all that to say this video was PERFECT ! Lol great job! 👍

@kklatour4 2 года назад

Absolutely gorgeous. I want a wall like that! Loved the rain storm in the background - good idea.

@MoSvivor 2 года назад

Nice. I’m going to try to do this myself and hope I’m not overwhelmed. I’m not a handy as you but I looked at another video and it seems possible. Thank you.

@ericmchugh7768 2 года назад

I like that you painted the outlet and outlet cover instead of trying to match it with new (would never match). Love the wall it definitely looked easy enough.

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Thank you Eric! Yeah at first I tried to match them and it wasn’t happening, so I said “I got this” and painted them lol 😂 and looks great.

Great job. We’ve been thinking of adding accent walls to our home. Rain sounds was a good touch as well

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Hey man! Thank you so MUCH!!! You should definitely build an accent wall... to be honest, I thought our wall looked good before with a mirror on it and then we did this and now I can't believe the transformation... so much better. You will be stoked! Oh, lol and thank you on the rain sounds too... my viewers were telling me that my music was awful, so I thought I would give this a try...

@alicezhang9957 2 года назад

This looks great! Quick questions: 1. Our wall has some orange peel texture to it. Do you think we will need to cover that completely with a flat board? 2. How thick are the MDF board you used?

@SamehKhan Год назад

Thinking of doing this in a rental. Im allowed to paint, and nail holes are easy to remove. How essential is the caulking to the appearance do you think?

@MoniGhaleyDIY 2 года назад

It came out super nice! I’ll be doing something like that soon. What tip did you use on the sprayer? I just bought a Fuji Q5 n I need to start using it. Thanks man!

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Thank you for watching brother! Oh yeah, you're gonna love that Q5 its legit... I used tip 1.8 so that I wouldn't have to thin the paint and I played with the pressure settings so that the over spray would be really minimal. Be sure to tag me when you complete your project as I definitely want to see it.

@leanchasersx 10 месяцев назад

looks good but using spacers would have helped with the symmetry. You can make out wider spaces between parallel boards on one end vs the other end. Once you get one board level spacers from scrap wood eliminate guess work/ eyeballing.

@DesignsbyDonnie 10 месяцев назад

Yes you’re right and I’m a huge fan of using spacers but for this video I wanted to show how one could do this with limited tools. And if this was a project for someone that doesn’t use many tools then they probably don’t have the scrap plywood laying around to cut to 20 inches wide to use as spacer blocks. That’s why I found the angle with a $8 dollar square that most have and did a pencil layout line with a level which most have. It was actually very simple and efficient. I also used the hand saw to cut the boards because most don’t have a miter saw or similar tool to cut it. But after pencil the layout lines on the wall, there wasn’t any guess work… simply nail the board on the pencil line and it’s perfect. If one got off the line, most likely less than 32nd of an inch which no one could ever tell. So, I wanted a simple approach for everyone. That was my thoughts but thank you for the advice and I’m a huge fans of spacers

Donnie great video man! Love the idea of using a sprayer instead, would love to invest in one. Do you have any tips on which sprayer to purchase?

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Thanks for watching brother! It’s was seriously a fun project! Having a great sprayer is awesome and I would definitely recommend it. It’s the Fuji Q5 👍 I was able to play with the pressure settings until it just right. Over spray was incredibly minimal. I have a link to it in my description and you can read all the literature and details about it to help with the keys points

@TheAshleypaidemail 2 года назад

Look nice! What kind of wood did you use? Can you add a link for the wood pieces?

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Hi Ashley, I used MDF strips. I bought a 4x8 sheet at Home Depot and ripped it into 2" strips... it was really inexpensive this way... only costing me about $37 bucks, however you can buy primed mdf already cut into strips but slightly more expensive.

@thicknthin9880 2 года назад

Our walls are textured - could we do this without smoothing out the walls?

@ariandaddy Год назад

What wood did you use for this? Did you get MDF strips or cut the MDF sheet into strips yourself, or is it pine strips?

That came out AWESOME!! What type of material did you use for the strips ? I will be doing one soon and wasn't sure which to use.

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Hi 👋 I used MDF to keep the cost low and so I wouldn’t have to worry about seasonal wood movement from solid wood. I bought a 4x8 sheet of mdf for $37 bucks and ripped two inch strips out of it on my table saw. The other way would be to buy primed mdf strips but it’s slightly more costly. Either way you can’t go wrong!

@DesignsbyDonnie 2 года назад

Thank you for watching Stefany!! what a bummer that your having some trouble... use a speed square like I did in the video... the speed square is a perfect 90 degrees on one side and 45 degrees on the other. Align the speed square up with how you want the slats to go and every miter cut will be a 45 degree providing you aligned the speed square up. I hope that helps and let me know if I can help more.

@TheJ2effect Год назад

How did u map out the electrical and water lines?

@DesignsbyDonnie Год назад

This wall didn’t have any water lines but you don’t need to worry about water or electrical lines as long as you nail into studs only. Any where water lines or electrical are located, electricians nail a metal cover plate over them for protection. If you happen to mail into the metal place the mail just shoots back out and won’t penetrate it, thus protecting those important lines 👍

@fabianchavez8219 Год назад

I'm a carpenter and it looks better if you remove that piece of baseboard and frame the entire wall. It's a more complete look especially considering the molding sticks out over the baseboard. Unless you like the contrast. Great results either way.
