There is just something about white. Fresh. New. Exactly what I’m looking for this New Year! Which is why we went a little crazy with a can of white paint and a whole bunch of trim over the holidays. It feels so good to rid the walls of the drab beige/taupe color. Of all the changes that I want to make this year, this seemed like a good place to start.
Ever since I saw this photo of Lauren Leonard’s bunkroom (above), I knew that we would be adding some board and batten style trim detail into our house. I didn’t want to cover all the walls with it, just an accent wall seemed like the right amount. I’m loving it! My amazing, hard working hubby deserves an enormous thank you. Seriously. Shout out for you Jason!! The bonus is that he’s super happy with it too. Whew!
Work is still being done caulking, painting, etc, so for now I’m only going to show you this little snippet. And, as with most reno projects… when one things changes, everything is fair game! So, our family room is in store for some major redecorating. Stay tuned!
Happy New Year Everyone!

That’s exciting! my master bath is going to get WHITEnend in the next few weeks and this makes me excited to get started. I totally know what you mean!
OH man, what a tease!!
I can’t wait to see it!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Rosa!!
That is so exciting Rosa. In our last home we did quite a bit of wainscotting detail, and the board and batten was always my favorite. There is just something about that texture whether a little or a lot that brings a room to life.

I love it – looking forward to seeing the big reveal!
I love it so far! I would LOVE to take a can of white paint to my house too, but if we end up moving this fall, then I am not sure I can be bothered. Hmmm…but still, I am itching to paint!
Cannot to see the rest !!!!! Isn’t board and batten the best? Looks like Jason did a kick butt job. Lovely photo my dear and happy fresh new start to you!
we are doing it in the studio downstairs…watched It’s complicated last night, and the daughters house is awesome! I actually used different hts. of trim horizontally on my bar face, and am continuing the random pattern on the whole wall it buts up to. Problem is my hubby is NOT handy. So I have to pretty much take charge…I wear the tool belt in this family. secretly, would love it if he did
Oh wow, that looks so fresh and happy Rosa! that inspiration photo is fantastic!
Yes, such a tease!
White is so fresh and clean, I’m hoping to paint this winter. Now, if I could just get my hubby to be handy…not gonna happen! Lucky you!
Whatever you do will look amazing… I can almost see it now, but will just have to wait and see, huh?!
Happy new year!
Love the sneak peek! IT WILL LOOK AMAZING i AM SURE!
oh, love that bunk room-going in my cottage file asap!
