As you know, I was off work all last week so I had a little staycation and it was glorious. But, we did spend a whole day in downtown Asheville and had a great date night! First, we stopped at @theblackbirdrestaurant for some brunch and then spent some time strolling and shopping all the stores like @mastgeneralstore and @anthropologie 🛍️ And our dinner at @ukiahrestaurant was amazing! That was our first time going there and it did not disappoint! And of course, we couldn’t end the evening without a sweet treat, so we got some @asheville.chocolate 🍫 All in all, a great date night and great week off. Although, I’m super bummed my staycation is over and it’s back to reality now 😂

DIY Shiplap Wall

I am so excited to share with y’all the first of a mini series of blog posts! I will be sharing them throughout the next few weeks. I am a crazy cat mom and we have decided to re-do Toby’s room downstairs! Yes, my Toby has his own room!

It’s just a little room underneath the stairs. Instead of having our contractor close that space up, we decided it would be good for storage. We asked him to leave it open and include a door there. This was done even before we got Toby. So when we got him, we always just placed his litter box there.

We didn’t really think too much about the room ever since. But, I thought this would be a good space to practice some of our bigger DIY projects. For example, doing a DIY shiplap wall here.

DIY Shiplap Wall
Look at all that pretty shiplap!

This way, if we mess up, we can easily hide the space! This was actually apart of my Valentine’s Day present from my sweet hubby.

I have been begging him to do some kind of DIY shiplap wall downstairs so this was a perfect compromise. And I am so happy to report that it actually went very well and wasn’t too hard to do!

We aren’t just doing shiplap either, we will be doing a number of different things in here too. That’s why I thought I would break it up into different posts so I could over everything in more detail about each step.

And that way I won’t have just one really, really long blog post about it.

The Before
Here is what the space looked like before. Just a mess and not very pretty!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Materials Needed for DIY Shiplap Wall:

  • Actual Shiplap, or wall planks (we used wall planks because it was much easier and cheaper)
  • Nail Gun
  • Saw
  • Stud Finder
Wall Planks for Shiplap Wall
Here is what the wall planks looked like in the original packaging. I will link some similar planks below for you too!

Find the Studs in the Wall

The first step in this project is to find all the studs in the wall you are going to shiplap. My hubby used his stud finder and then when he located where the studs were, he drew a line with a sharpie up the wall.

This way he can know exactly where to insert the nails with the nail gun. The planks will be more supported if you attach them straight to a stud in the wall.

Also, drawing a line on the wall isn’t a big deal because we are going to be shiplapping right over it so you won’t see it at all.

Finding the studs
Finding where the studs are.

Cut the Shiplap

Now once you know where the studs are, you can start cutting the wall planks. But of course be sure to measure your wall first to make sure you have enough material.

This wall is extremely small, about 8′ by 3′. This was definitely a great wall to practice on because we are wanting to do more shiplap in the future on bigger walls downstairs.

To attach them to the wall, we just kind of did long and short pieces here and there. It gives it texture and dimension and makes the wall planks look more like real shiplap.

My hubby did mainly all of this himself and just kind of judged how the pieces should fit together. So you can basically just eyeball it and do what looks good to you.

Cutting the wood planks
Cutting the wood planks and getting them ready to attach to the wall!

Attach the Wood Planks to the Wall

Once you have everything cut and sized, you are ready to attach them to the DIY shiplap wall! We didn’t have a nail gun so we ordered a cheap one off of Amazon.

And y’all that thing works perfectly! The best part is, it was only $35 as well.

So really all in all, this project wasn’t too expensive even though we needed to purchase more supplies for it. Obviously though if we were doing a bigger wall we would have needed many more wall planks.

Getting Ready to attach wood planks to the wall
Here is the nail gun we used. I will link the same one below:

The only downside to this particular nail gun is that it is not cordless. But hey, for $35, you can’t really complain too much.

We were both very satisfied with it and it worked like a charm!

Look how pretty it looks so far!

Add Trim to the Shiplap Wall

Once you are all done shiplapping, then you can add some trim around the wall. This gives it a more polished look. Now you can buy actual pieces of trim for this part or the project or be thrifty like us.

We had some leftover wood planks so we just measured how wide the trim should be and then used the saw to cut the trim pieces out.

It turned out just fine and saved us a little bit of money doing it that way instead. We also went back and caulked around the trim to give it a more finished look.

Conclusion

This part of the project was actually really easy and simple to do! I enjoyed it and I love the way it turned out! If you want to do a DIY shiplap wall too, then I highly recommend it.

This was a baby step for us moving onto bigger DIY projects. As you know, I like to keep things simple and easy around here (like just up cycling some furniture) so I haven’t done too many big projects like wall treatments.

The next step in this journey is all about our first time doing wallpaper in this room too. And let me tell you, that was not as easy! It was much harder than anticipated so be sure to stay tuned for my next blog post about it.

I will be giving you all the tips and tricks that we learned along the way!

    What a creative way to experiment with a bigger DIY project: using a smaller, more hidden space as the trial run! Now you know you can do it, plus your kitty has a very stylish little home base. Best of both worlds, am I right?

    What a great idea to practice decorating and remodeling techniques in a spare space! The final result of your shiplap wall definitely goes with your beautiful rustic/county theme decor. I love your style and everything you’ve done to your home!

    First of all, I love that Toby has his own room! Cats are seriously the best. The wall looks great, too. I like the idea of starting with a small space to practice with a new technique so that you know what it will take to do a bigger space. 🙂

    I always love seeing people creating a space like this. We have a coat closet that has been converted to a ‘kitty bathroom’ for our two with their litterbox in it. Not only does it keep the litterbox tucked away where people don’t have to see it (and keep the smell contained when they stink it up a little), but it also keeps everything tucked away from our dogs lol! I know that our boy Indiana would happily help clean the litterbox each day if we gave him the opportunity to.

    You both did a nice job on it. It looks great. And it’s hilarious that you did it in your cat’s litter closet. My cat is not so lucky.

We had the best time being tourists in our own cit We had the best time being tourists in our own city this past weekend. As you know, I was off work all last week so I had a little staycation and it was glorious. But, we did spend a whole day in downtown Asheville and had a great date night! First, we stopped at @theblackbirdrestaurant for some brunch and then spent some time strolling and shopping all the stores like @mastgeneralstore and @anthropologie 🛍️ And our dinner at @ukiahrestaurant was amazing! That was our first time going there and it did not disappoint! And of course, we couldn’t end the evening without a sweet treat, so we got some @asheville.chocolate 🍫 All in all, a great date night and great week off. Although, I’m super bummed my staycation is over and it’s back to reality now 😂
