Shiplap Done Easy and inexpensively and Dining Room New Wall Decor

 







This was my dining room wall where I put up the old white fence to create a garden decor theme.  Well..... it did not sit right with me.  Sometimes it takes me a few times to get it right.
Pretty yes but putting a garden fence on the wall up high just did not seem right.
Over the wallpaper went the shiplap panels.  Where the lines were matching up the panels we used spackle and lightly sanded and then painted the shiplap.  This was there was no scraping and tearing down wallpaper.


I kept the wallpaper on this back dining room wall.  It runs across the dining room into the back of the kitchen area.  With the large window and sliding glass door at the back of the kitchen this paper was good to stay up and not too overbearing.  Gives a little bit of a pattern.



This was so easy peasy.  Terry cut the panels to fit the wall and then we spackled and lightly sanded and painted the shiplap.
It gave a nice clean look to the walls.


It looks much bigger and brighter.


I decorated this old vintage shelf with some garden decor and books.









I like this look on my dining room wall so much better.  Makes the room fill with light and feel bright and pretty.


This is an up close look at the nickel gap shiplap on the panels.  This was easy and cheaper to do than buying expensive ship lap panels.
Here is the Home Depot link.  $37 a panel and that long wall and two other walls took about 10 panels.

We put it up on this wall and the wall over our sectional.
Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Kris

  1. Yes, sometimes it takes trying things before you find the right look. It fits you and your style perfectly. But now, inquiring minds want to know…. What happened to the fence pickets? 😊

    1. Lol I sold the picket fence piece.  It was actually a headboard and a lady I know wanted it for her garden design bedroom.  So it went to a good home.

  2. It all looks so beautiful, Kris! I was wondering what you did with the fence piece, too, but I see you were asked and answered that in the above comment. I always say that you and Terry make such a great team. I hope you have a relaxing, peaceful weekend. xo

  3. It looks lovely Kris. You too are always working on projects. So glad the picket fence piece was sold to a lady who wanted a garden headboard. I wonder what look, fall will bring. I still love the wall of mirrors. I hope you are enjoying summer. Hugs.

  4. I love it, Kris. Aren't we the luckiest on the planet. We have happy imaginations and we can change our minds just like that! I love it! Your adorable house is beautiful.
    We just sold the old house.... in two days! I am still in shock. We got a lot for it. 100K over asking. still shocked. - not trying to think too much about the tax repercussions 😂
    I am pretty close to spending 1/3 of that amount on lights and upgrades for my new cute house.
    This restyle is perfect and it turned out very nice!!

  6. Kris, I ADORE this look!! I think you nailed it...the shiplap looks fantastic, I love that you kept that wallpaper on the one wall (for now anyway...hahaha!) and that shelf is just dreamy! I believe this is my favorite look yet. It really suits the house and makes all your gorgeous pieces pop. Sometimes it takes a while to get there...I know you know I'm exactly the same...but when it comes together it's so worth it! Kudos to Terry for his craftsmanship and to you for your design! xxoo Enjoy the weekend!!

  9. Both renditions are beautiful, but I do like the shiplap and shelf slightly better. I'm glad you kept the wallpaper surrounding your sliders and window. It looks so pretty!

  11. Kris, I love what you and Terry have done. I like both looks, but the shiplap and shelf are less busy. Everything you do is always lovely and chic! Happy Weekend!

  12. Love it Kris! I love "white" anything, especially the look of white paneled wood. Reminds me of an old beach house my family used to go to when I was a little girl. All the wood inside was painted white, cupboards, furniture, etc. and with royal blue touches of checkered curtains, pillows, etc. I always wanted a blue and white kitchen after that! I don't think I ever did get one, or even the white painted wood. Had some knotty pine in one house, but never did paint it! Your shiplap looks so nice. Love our touches of the light peach flowers too! xoxo Marilyn
