And working within my means – with my money and with my time..
One pack was about $15.. Now paint that beadboard a color of your choice!I went with a color called Dover Grey to match the dresser that we already have in the dining room.
It’s a good thing I never throw away paint because I’m pretty sure that the last time I used this can of paint was about 6 years ago.. Once the paint is dry, all you need to do is just nail or screw the strips in place, one by one!.Yes, that’s really how our master bedroom looks right now, right in the middle of our big bathroom reno.When you’re all done, you end up with something that looks like this!.
I love the depth and texture that you get from using the real beadboard.. We did look into buying a really high quality shelf for this corner, but since we’re hoping to put some corner cabinet built-ins in here one day, that just seemed like a lot of money to spend for a temporary shelf that will probably end up somewhere else in the house eventually.Real grown-up shelves are expensive!
This little DIY does the trick just fine for now!.
It’s the perfect place to put our books, dishes, and other dining room miscellany and it looks good doin’ it!.But somehow I don’t think teeth on a ladder will work quite as well..

It means we’re making progress and the house is coming along!.The only thing is, I don’t think it’s entirely accurate and that kind of bugs me.
