A plain living room wall repaired, painted and decorated with a flat-screen TV and timber shelves.

The project

 

First, the wall was prepped and any defects were filled with Spakfilla.

We decided to paint the wall with Dulux Timeless Grey and the trims in in Dulux Vivid White. The black hinges and handle were installed to the door and the black brackets fixed to suitable studs.

The SpecRite Pine live edge shelves were ripped down in width, taking an equal amount off the back to get suitable shelf depth.

The shelves were installed in a staggered formation.

Shelves ready for use.

The cabinet was then assembled and positioned. We decided to leave the back panel off, allowing us to push the cabinet to the wall without cutting holes for cables. New pots were placed either side.

Lovely transformation, @cam_bubb! Your living room wall looks great. Personally loving the innovative use of the hooks under the shelves for your hanging plants. 

 

What are you working on next? We'd love to see more of your work.

 

Congratulations once again,
