I’m waiting for the day I get my invitation to Hogwarts. Doing the whole DIY thing is cool and all, but sometimes I think, “If I could just wave a magic wand to have this project done already, that’d be swell.”
Cleaning the house, cooking dinner, painting walls… flick of the wrist and poof! Done. Now that we have “shiplapped” (is that a verb?) several walls in our house, I’m wishing for that DIY wand more and more. Shiplap usually costs us around $100, it’s fairly time consuming, and a part of me always wonders if one day we’ll see those farmhouse-y walls and think,”Ugh. That’s so 2016.”
Buuuuuut… I think I’ve found the next best thing to a magic DIY wand to solve all of those problems.
Up until recently, Olivia’s bedroom wall looked like this:
A part of me always wanted to do something to that wall.
I wasn’t quite committed to the idea of shiplap in here as much as we were in our master bedroom, but I remembered back to two years ago when I gave a bookcase a faux planked look and figured it was worth a shot in here.
Guess what?! Adding “shiplap” to Olivia’s room cost zero dollars!
And even better, no permanent damage was done to the drywall.
