Weathered Hardwood Board (8-Piece Box)<\/a>*<\/li>\n<li>(1) Box 1 \u00bd-in. Brad Nails<\/li>\n<li>(1) Pint Dark Paint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Gather Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102050 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/96708beda52b5d69a22084e9dc89448b.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To find out how many boxes of weathered wood boards you will need, you have to calculate the square footage of the wall(s) you are working with. To find this number, measure the length and height of your wall and multiply the two numbers. For example, if your wall is 12 feet wide and the ceiling height is 8 ft., your wall is 96 sq. ft! Each box covers 10 sq. ft., so in this instance, I would order ten boxes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Clean the Walls<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102051 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/34b77032094ae4f513a3b8396e7c8225.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gathered your supplies, use a cloth to wipe any grime or debris you\u2019re your walls.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Find the Studs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fb6a963bb2f7b24f8ec5ccc0a9e6e9b9-1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, use a stud finder to find your wall studs.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Mark Studs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102053 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fd568afa2ee637277e068c463090e0fd-1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mark your studs and use a level and straight edge to create lines down the entire height of the wall. This will help guide where you will shoot your nails.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Lay Out Boards<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102054 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/72ff2c747a0e24ed7f7d4719bd39a24a.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Begin laying out your boards. I started from the top of the wall since the bottom of the wall is going to be blocked by furniture anyway. If you\u2019d like things to be perfectly even on the top and bottom, you can start in the center of the wall and work your way in both directions. Just make sure everything is level!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102055 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2dd724e69d62b62961eb2967ee876b19-1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Attach the boards to the wall with 1 \u00bd-in. brad nails. We chose not to add glue for a semi-permanent fit, but if you\u2019d like for your wall to be a permanent fixture, make sure to add an adhesive to the back of every board.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Trim Boards<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102056 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/eaf50875ae55017521c4a06297abb653-1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you go, use a miter saw to trim boards that need to be shortened. Make sure to alternate the pattern on each row for an organic look.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Straighten Boards<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102057 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/c399b40eed24d13ed2128eae1acea1dd-1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keep checking to make sure those boards are straight!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Touch-Ups<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102058 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/789aec042b5c73e6496df2d92f7bce80.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keep dark touchup paint on hand for boards that don\u2019t line up completely. Apply the paint to the drywall. This will help mask the gaps.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 9: Cut Outlets<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/71d7e71b8ed08342bb9dd9015ff972a5.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102060 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/c37feaf69504c6d3e1d70b79c8dd78c1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Mark and cut gaps for outlets and odd corners with a jig saw.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Keep on going!<\/h3>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102061 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/6b397dcfe2701151bff124c19f3dadcd.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Step 11: Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102062 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/65327f707e62268d2fd9d7baada3250b.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Add a decorative feature to the bottom of your wall by adding a board on top of the final row. This will make it look like your wall has wooden trim!<\/p>\n<h3>Final Weathered Wood Accent Wall<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102063 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/c3a45feff45d5411872caa79e2e836e3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Weathered Wood Accent Wall\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, sit back and admire your handy work!<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<p>Follow our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/homedepot\/laundry-room-ideas-inspiration\/\">Laundry Room Ideas<\/a>\u00a0board on Pinterest for more inspiring decor ideas.
