HIGH END WALL ON A DIY BUDGET

How to transform a wall, and a room, with inexpensive wood lath!











Yeah, I can't leave well enough alone. Good enough is never enough for me. Take
our guest bath.... so so. It never felt done or right. Suddenly it hit me, a
great wall idea, but all my material options were too expensive.



Alas, never fear. That means it's time to get creative. Enter wood lath. So for
under forty bucks, I transformed a room like mad.








This bathroom is hardly ever used for a shower if you're concerned about the
wood; it's been used maybe all of six times and won't be for years, so lath will
be a-ok. But hey, this idea is great for any room in the house!





TRENDING VIDEOS






Sure, lath is tricky. It's wonky, it's bowed, it's not consistent. It's also
rough and tumble. But! It's a budget saver and it actually looks great without
veering into design styles I didn't want to veer into.








First I stained it with a mix of Golden Mahogany and paint thinner.








Be sure to come by my blog for the great story of how I revealed this to my
unsuspecting husband over at Flipping the Flip!



Next, tacking it to the wall time. I did not plan the vertical seams but I did
want an eighth of an inch between each horizontal seam. Easiest, most consistent
way to get that? A free paint stirrer.








I have all sorts of great tips on this project, like how I got around the outlet
and the light fixture so click the link below to be in the know!




It took a lot of trimming, to say the least. If you don't have a pneumatic
nailer, either borrow from a pal or rent from a hardware store.





And there it is! Definitely a high end look on a budget!








Be sure to click the link below for all those hot tips, the fun story, and all
sorts of other great stuff!

   I really like the look, but I would definitely spray a satin finish clear
   coat for an easier cleaning & water resistant surface.
   
   Thanks for a great idea!😍
