I was glad to see you use chair rail on the top of your B&B; it helps us visualize how it would look in our place. Great job and thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Erin @ The Great IndoorsMrs. Great Indoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067541195408476086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-26495005520201287572011-11-16T18:10:52.918-05:002011-11-16T18:10:52.918-05:00I followed your board and batten "how-to"...I followed your board and batten "how-to" exactly and am so pleased at the result.

She's 15 months now and I still love it. I didn't even know what it was called, I just liked how it looked! I've always called it paneling! Now I know! I have a link to my daughter's nursery, but not any great shots of the b&b...I never thought to do that. <br /><br />That's one reason I LOVE reading your blog so much -- I always feel like I have to have the whole room or area put together before I can show anything. So it always takes me FOREVER to post anything. I like how you take works in progress and show us those and then show us how it all comes together. So, for the millionth time, THANKS for inspiring me, yet again! One day I hope to be just like you!<br /><br />Here's the link, in case anyone is interested. Now I'm thinking I should do a post just on the walls!<br /><br />http://theinspirationstudio.blogspot.com/2008/12/bellas-nursery.html<br /><br />it really is more of her nursery than B&B, but you can see it in the first pic behind her crib.jen @ the inspiration studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457912897937830126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-18483313766869055652010-04-22T13:45:51.396-04:002010-04-22T13:45:51.396-04:00I am amazed by the traffic you have.
