How to hang a wooden board on the wall.

Rebecca and shannon of petite party studio are accomplished diyers and decorators and they love the look of distressed wood. Wooden signs inside the house can add a rustic touch communicate a message or complete a collection. For a small pegboard two horizontal furring strips should be adequate. I want to hang some shelves for the cats to travel and hang out on the wall out from under my feet and off the beds.

You need to drill through the plaster and into the wood framing. A wood plank wall can add a rustic focal point to a room. I happened to have some black paint in my garage cabinet so i grabbed it and quickly painted the wall. They look great as an accent wall in a bedroom or living room.

In the kitchen you might front face an island with barn wood or perhaps diy a barn board backsplash. Alternatively to hang your whiteboard with hooks affix eyelets to the back of your whiteboard and hang them on screw in or adhesive hooks on your wall. For whiteboards that are less than 3 or 4 pounds place sticker patches to the back of the board and firmly press it onto the wall. The pallet is going to hang from screws protruding from the wall and the weight hangs from the boards that are running parallel to the floor at what is now the top of the pallet.

Hold them horizontally across the wall and place a level on top. Before you install the pallet boards you want to paint the wall they re going on a dark color. Step 5 line the pallet up with the studs in the wall as best you can. Adjust until it is level and then ask a friend to hold the strip while you drill long wood screws through the furring strips and into the studs or wall anchors.

The dark wall color hides those gaps for you. The trick to wood plank walls is to keep it simple. Hanging wooden signs is a simple do it yourself project that almost anyone can tackle. I had planned to use toggle bolts to attach the 2 x10 x 20 or so on the length to the studs but the studs are in the wall the wrong way for me to drill thru and use the toggle s wing anchor.

Use reclaimed barn boards on only one feature wall in a room to keep the look simple yet make a statement. The hard part in adding distressed planks to a wall is preparing the wood cutting and painting all the planks to get a uniform look. Pallets are not perfect and no matter how hard you try there will be a gap or two here and there.
