Top This, Top That.
If you squint really hard, it kinda looks like we have a really cool room here.We don’t of course, but now we have a cool wall at least!.
The plan is to do some built-in shelving over top and have the brick visible as the back of the shelves, but who knows when that’ll happen.Chris asked me to paint all that unfinished wood framing just so it would look a little more finished until then..Naturally I just did, like, one five-foot section so now it looks even worse..
Still, pretty cool, huh?.Subscribe by email to receive free posts straight to your inbox, or follow along using any (or all!)
of the methods below!Over the river and through the woods, to Kennedy’s room we go!
I just had to show you all this change we made in there recently because I can’t believe what a big difference it’s made.. Here’s how the room looks now:.The shelving that we got (I think these are also sometimes called “project boards”) was about 16″ wide and we just measured it to run the length of the room.
You can get these boards in all different shapes and sizes and they’re made up of long strips glued together so you get that authentic “butcher block” look!We attached the 2×2 trim pieces around the edges using clamps and wood glue and then sanded them down to be rounded on the edges once everything was dry.
We’ve made this type of counter before and sometimes we’ll uses a few nails from the nail gun to hold everything thing in place too.A little bit of wood filler helped to smooth everything out and then we were ready to finish it!.
