  • My living room is now complete! Creating a wood panel accent wall isn't too hard a DIY project, so I recommend it! Just be sure to work out the math first :)

    Look how far you've come! I really like your style. Just think back to a year ago...how difficult things were, stuff was in storage, bouncing from airbnb to airbnb. And, now you have a beautiful home where you have created such a lovely space. Well done.

    Your place is shaping up nicely. This is the fourth year of being in my house and all my books are still in packing crates. The pandemic and the subsequent rise in costs means that a lot of things are still on hold. One thing more, it's cushions over here. Pillows go on the bed.

    ​hi evan loved the paneling! have been considering it myself, just wanted to know whether you considered if the ceiling and skerting board lines are parallel, because I noticed in the video you didn't use a spirit level ruler, or if the side edges of the wall (the vertical ones) are parallel? perhaps that may be the reason why the maths didn't align with the practical instalment of the panels? I'm genuinely curious as to why it wouldn't work, would love to hear when you do find the reason

    Hey, was just wondering what grades of sandpaper you used for the wood, did you scale or go (more or less) straight in with e.g. wet and dry?

    • @EvanEdingerTravel
      @EvanEdingerTravel  Před rokem +3

      I used 100 to 120 grit for sanding down the lil wooden slats. I used 240 grit for finishing sand on certain aspects but in between coats of paint I used 120 grit again. No idea what scaling means in that context. soz!

      @flynnmoran3542 Před rokem +1

      @@EvanEdingerTravel No thats fine, was just curious as couldn't tell in the video. What I meant by scaling was going from really rough sandpaper to smoother, I personally just skip to the grade I need (after the initial pass over)

    @angelasettipani6534 Před rokem

    Honestly, your style is not my preferred style, however everything you’ve done looks so nice. The only difference I would have done different with that wall is add color.

    • @evan
      @evan Před rokem +2

      There is enough colour in the space in furniture and decor as well as the kitchen wall that painting that wall a colour would clash and fight for balance with the space. A neutral was the best option

    • @angelasettipani6534
      @angelasettipani6534 Před rokem +1

      @@evan I wasn’t thinking the whole wall just the trim you added, which honestly gave me a great idea for my own house. I have been lacking motivation and vision since buying in March.
      And even though we have very different styles, I think it’s going to look amazing to see your whole house tour before and after shots because you put your all into making it the way you want. Which ultimately, makes opinions like mine obsolete. It’s your house and you’re making it your own. You loving it is all that matters.

    Welcome to the real world where physical and theoretical don't meet.
    Measure twice cut once.
    Most projects like yours are done by offering up the slats to the wall to make a master template and then you duplicate from there.
