“Little Big Boy’s Room”: Wall Color, Wall Covering and Trim

In my last post I showed you the new paint color for Cayden’s big boy room.  But what I hadn’t shown you was what we ended up doing with all the extra bead board from our kitchen bead board backsplash project.  Here are some more pics of the paint color (on the top half of the wall).


To create a classic look, that’ll last for years (I hope), I added bead board wall covering and trim to the bottom half of the wall.  The wall covering is by Allen and Roth from Lowes. It’s very easy to do, check out my tutorial from my kitchen project


After installing/putting up the wall covering, I added 1x4 mdf boards to the top, and then created a little ledge by adding a 1x2 inch mdf board on top of that trim.

I used white caulking and paint to fill the gaps/seams.

I hate that the pictures are such low quality-because it really doesn’t capture how beautiful and REAL the bead board looks with the trim.
