I am so pleased as I write this,
because that means our little B&B project is complete
in our master bedroom.
YES.
I love how simple this project is,
but how drastic of a change
it gives you.
If I had a small home, I would do little things like
these to the whole room, and probably
every room just to add
that much more charm
that smaller homes have 🙂
I really do love how light and airy it made the room feel
as well as it give some dimension.
First we started by measuring the length of the room.
We used a 1×6 piece of pine board for the top.
Then placed 1×3 pieces of pine board for the slats.
Then caulked along the seams of all the boards.
Can I just tell you this little guy loves to help with everything.
He is such a big help.
{btw, this is his new “smile” face which = frowny face for mom 🙁 }
Then we just painted all the wood and the wall beneath it white.
I used the same paint we used for all the trim in
the house, so that is would all match
and look the same.
And I already had it, and that = free (for this project).
Let me just remind you of what it looked like
before :
and
after:
I love how it anchors the space.
The basket in the middle I just recently grabbed
from hobby lobby for $5.
Gotta love those 50% off sales 🙂
We chose to just do the wall behind our bed as an accent wall.
I also switched out our old night stand lamps,
for some bigger, heavier ones
to be more of a staple.
I grabbed them from Lowe’s, back when the
one near us was going out of business.

The ‘love’ sign I grabbed from
Pier 1, about 4 years ago,
and the curtain is from IKEA,
and up-cycled from our
old living room.
The iron numbers I grabbed from hobby lobby a while ago, with this project in mind.

Totally love the transformation of this space.
A great way to freshen things
up for the new year 🙂

Adorable! You’ve given me great inspiration. Thank you!!
Wow! This is wonderful and you did a great job. Is that room really for rent?,how gorgeous is that and I love lying in that fabulous bed.
Major transformation!!! Great job.
Ahhh thanks 🙂 it really does give the room the extra umph that it needed 😉 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
This looks so good. I like that you only did it behind the bed. It makes the room look bigger. Hopefully we’ll install b&b in a room someday.
I really love it. I’m dying to do this to my master bedroom as well. Thanks for the inspiration.
Warmly, Michelle
Michelle-
You totally should. I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I love it what it did so much more that I was expecting. Glad to inspire, can’t wait to see your room if you do it 🙂 ~Bre
wow saw this featured on TT&J love what you did with the room!
ahh thanks 🙂
Love it! My husband is currently re-doing the upstairs of our garage and we’ve been thinking of doing it in a board and batten look. I’m bookmarking your page as inspiration. Thank you!
GO for it 🙂 I love how it came out. It was everything I was hoping for, you will love it. I could totally see it in a room like that. I think it will give it the extra touch you are hoping for. ~Bre
Saw this post at TT&J. What a terrific job!! Your bedroom looks beautiful! That board and batten makes a great focal wall. What color are the walls in that room?
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.. I had to do some digging to find the paint sample 🙂 AND I did… I had a few different names floating around in my head from colors I was debating when we painted.. and they are all pretty similar. The room is “Abingdon Putty” by Ben Moore, some other very similar ones I found were “Fisherman’s Net” by Olympic found at Lowe’s, Sherwin williams has one called “Poised Taupe”, and there was another one I really like called “Coffee & Cream” I believe from Lowe’s as well 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂 ~Bre
It’s an amazing transformation! I really appreciate you stopping by about my dining room, and I’m glad to see someone loves board and batten as much as I do! Just beautiful! Well done!
