It's just the normal bit from painting. But I have had many readers tell me they've done it and I've seen pics that look pretty great! You can also install panels on the walls first, then the board and batten over them to cover the seams. A bit more work but it would be nice and smooth. Let me know if you do it!

From afar I thought the wall was smooth, but the close up of the mitred corner shows texture. I want to do 2/3 up my wall with battens in my office/craftroom. I'd like to keep it low budget without using boards, but my walls are textured. I wondered how it would look. I'd appreciate your feedback.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255081008590384229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-3988598867897920292014-04-02T12:31:39.352-04:002014-04-02T12:31:39.352-04:00That wall is amazing....could you come do mine? :)...That wall is amazing....could you come do mine? :)Kathy Owen, Petticoat Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996819479475060341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-71421063099743125682014-04-02T08:27:02.067-04:002014-04-02T08:27:02.067-04:00This might be my favorite project of yours ever! ...This might be my favorite project of yours ever! I absolutely love how the wall looks bold and romantic and cozy all at the same time :) Plus the board and batten look makes it even more wonderful!

What you ended up with is just gorgeous. I love board and batten treatment on a whole wall. Your room just went up twenty notches with the board and batten plus the darker paint. My bedroom is a dark chocolate brown, and I love the coziness of the dark color. I had thought of doing a board and batten wall in there, but my bed wall has two windows, so it has enough going on already. The wall across from our bed has no doors or windows and could use some extra oomph, but on the other hand, it would be strange to create a focal point on that wall. Aaaaanyway, love love love what you ended up with.Hollie @ I'm Busy Procrastinatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186733812673111574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-18382698231951104962014-04-02T00:15:16.851-04:002014-04-02T00:15:16.851-04:00I absolutely love it!
