DIY Modern Shiplap Fireplace Featuring Beach Wood Boards<\/h2>\n

Sometimes good things come to those who wait. This just so happened to be the case when it came to the design of my client’s fireplace. When renovating their 1960s ranch last year they knew one thing… they wanted a modern double sided fireplace! \u00a0The hard part was what they wanted it finished in?! Wanting a modern edgier farmhouse look, we discussed numerous options, shiplap in either black or white, rustic planks and brick. Not falling hard for any of the options and running close to the end of our budget, we all decided to finish the fireplace in drywall. That way, we could have time to make the right decision as well as save up for the right material.<\/p>\n

A year and a half later, I was introduced to\u00a0Silvastar Beach Cottage White Appearance Boards<\/a>\u00a0from The Home Depot. These thinner tongue and groove boards would give us a rustic vibe, but the whitewash finish kept it from feeling too rustic. With a lot of other woods and stains in the space, plain pine boards would simply feel out of place. I also liked the idea of a tongue and groove installation. Having tackled shiplap in the past, I know that it can be a time consuming process spacing the boards, filling in the nail holes and finishing the boards in the end. These boards are already pre-finished and the nail holes would all be covered during installation. Another bonus, the 8-ft. length covered the entire length of the fireplace meaning we would not have to piece together any boards.<\/p>\n

With the client’s approval, we went forward with these\u00a0Silvastar Beach Cottage White Appearance Boards<\/a>\u00a0and my husband and I went over for the install.<\/p>\n
