Do you have a post where a raised outlet cover was installed and planked around? Also, how do you determine how high up the wall to go?

We used wood from a barn that was torn down years ago on our property. It's just been sitting there waiting for the perfect project. We didn't do much more than scrub it down with some heavy duty bleach and water and nail it into the wall. We love the imperfect nature of it, and the variations in color. I'm loving your white planks though. This might be the next way I use all that leftover wood!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923532832989963207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-75651022666795389252013-03-19T09:20:35.850-04:002013-03-19T09:20:35.850-04:00You do all the things I tell myself I am going to ...You do all the things I tell myself I am going to do.

I would like to do the same thing in my half bath.<br /><br />You mentioned that your baseboards are snug in place and are impossible to remove..mine are too. I'm wondering how your planked walls look up against your baseboards. When I used beadboard to make a little "mud closet" area I ended up buying the huge sheets of pre-primed beadboard because it was thinner than the planks and I figured it would look better butted up against my baseboard moldings. Have you had that issue? I want to put in more wainscoting in my house but really prefer the look of the individual planks (just looks richer to me), so I'm curious how your walls look up against your baseboards. I'm not sure if I should go for the big sheet again or get the individual planks....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857137605707358828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-51228683178514239692013-03-18T14:58:51.289-04:002013-03-18T14:58:51.289-04:00Your bathroom will look smashing with that planked...Your bathroom will look smashing with that planked wall.
