I’m not a renter so I can paint my walls but I also don’t have power tools and don’t want to buy them for one project. This is perfect for me so I can transform my baby’s nursery

@katylowe3504 2 года назад

One of the most useful DIY videos I have seen. Only things different I would have done is overlapped the contact paper, glued the boards onto that using panel adhesive, painted the contact paper once it was up and painted the wood boards before they got installed.

@FourJaysFour 2 года назад

To paint contact paper, would you prime?

@mulliganstew72 2 года назад

Yes. In the end when she pulls that off I think the paint’s gonna chip off with it but… that’s an easy fix. It looks great !

@poshlife4life327 Год назад

Yes your way is genius

@RussiaIsARiddle778 Год назад

If I were your landlord, I would cry because this wasn’t permanent. I can’t imagine anyone not thinking this was an upgrade. 😂 this is outstanding, and I’m sure your renters that are watching our measuring as we speak. I’m going to ask my husband, who is a landlord for office spaces and ask him what he thinks. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@TK.000 Год назад

Finally someone who is like me, a novice with No power tools and an easy way of making a beautiful change. Thank you!!!

@TheJanicetunes 2 года назад

Great idea! This came out awesome. I think one tip I would do is probably paint all the wood first. I would paint the wall paper once on the wall before I added the strips and then attach the wood, caulk and then do paint touch ups where needed. This way you could have lower risk of getting the paint on the wall or baseboard. But great idea. You could sell this as a kit!

@Euniceathome 2 года назад

I never thought board & batten could be done a renter friendly way until this! It turned out amazing Alli 😍

@ActuallyAlli 2 года назад

This definitely took a few months of planning to come up with the best way to approach it! I'm so happy with the result

@cncrissy555 Год назад

I think that is such a great idea I really was trying to figure out what can I do to that ugly bumpy lumpy wall in my rental apartment and it's at the dining room area shall I say it's an open concept but yeah I think that's a great idea I absolutely love it thank you so much for sharing and don't stop sharing cuz we are watching ☺️ and the price isn't bad at all you could probably get the paper somewhere little cheaper or what have you but the price that you shared with us that again is not bad at all that's completely doable 🥰 Continue To Stay Safe Healthy Strong and Happy Many Blessings and Much Love-n-Peace 💜☮️💯😇🙏🏾💙❣️

I was just looking through amazon if they carried any wallpaper that gives that exact look... but the way you got it done looks so much better and honestly I would enjoy putting this together rather than just placing an all wallpaper look. Thank so much for this video. very helpful and I cant wait to do this with my bathroom!!!

@lindawarden-burglund9603 2 года назад

Great job Alli! I never would have thought to do this, although I am a big fan of Contac paper. I've covered the tops of play tables for my kids when they were little, and I used it for a kitchrn back splash in my first apartment back in the day. My (ex) husband was in the service and it was off-base housing and we couldn't paint or tile. Both projects turned out great, but certainly weren't as labor-intensive as yours! I would love to see more projects like this one!

@ActuallyAlli 2 года назад

Contact paper is amazing stuff! I used it for a backsplash too. I think it has to be one of my favorite renter hacks

@lovingmayberry2000 2 года назад

Alli, this is brilliant! I own my home, but I'm going to do this because it would be so easy to take down (no nail holes!) if I wanted to change it up! Also, if you move, I would ask the manager if he/she wants you to leave it before you tear it down, it looks so good! Yes, would love to see it done on another wall in your apt. 👍💙

I love it Alli! I want to do one so much. I just have to figure out a good wall to do it on. My landlord will let us paint, and they might even let us install board and batten permanently. I’d have to ask. Thanks for explaining all of the steps so well. I have no doubt that your wall will be in perfect condition when it’s time to remove it. Well done my friend!!

@ActuallyAlli 2 года назад

Oh yes you most definitely should ask them if you can put a board and batten wall somewhere in your home! It makes such a nice statement! 💜

I love this, esp the MATH!! I can use tutorial for my house. I’m older-single living by myself, and I find the rental-friendly projects are more manageable and cheaper, esp when you can get such great results. It’s hard for me to lift things and use power tools, so this was great. You could also title it, “You too elderly single-woman can do this --- (fill in project here). 😂
