I wanted to do some paneling to bring this boring plain wall to life. So the first thing I did was I sketched out my design. I drew it all with the pencil and I took some measurements and made sure I got them all written down before I headed to good old Home Depot, my favorite place on Earth. Then I picked up some trim. This was 98 cents a foot which I thought was pretty reasonable. I got some quarter inch sheets of MDF cut down. The store did that for me actually. Then I got some liquid nails and I got it on the trolley and headed to my car to bring it home. I used the MDF sheets and I used some liquid nails and applied them to the wall. I took a few dance breaks because if you know me, I'm always DIYing and listening to music at the same exact time. Next, I made sure to do a top layer. So, I put the piece of the MDF up. I cut it down to size and I applied that top layer in the same way as I applied the rose and it's always important to use a level as you go on. Then, I moved on to the inner trim So, what I did was I cut a spare piece of two by two wood and I marked it out in every corner so I knew that I had perfect 90° angles in every single inner rectangle. I measured from top to bottom and across the top and I wrote down the number of pieces that I needed to cut this trim down to. It turned out that I needed six pieces of 15 inches and six pieces of 45 inches. I cut the trim using a miter box and saw and let me tell you this is not my favorite way to cut wood but it does work it's just super tedious. I glued them onto the wall using liquid nails in the same way and I got all three panels up in no time at all. I used some Dixie Belle mud to fill in all the areas where they met and then I grabbed my helper AKA my mom to put up this beautiful piece of decor trim on the top. I was onto caulking time so I caulked and my little trick is to use a wet paint brush to go ahead and slide it up and it removes all the excess and makes it really really smooth. I sanded down all the mud when it was dry and I moved on to painting. Whenever I do DIY projects, I always use silk colors because it has a built-in primer and a top coat and it is so durable especially for bathrooms because it is mildew resistant too. I painted all the trim on the wall and I gave it two good coats and this is the final result. This looks so beautiful and custom. I love how this idea from this sketch right here turned into this life-size idea here. What do you guys think? I love this.
