Steps
Step 1
1. Plan, Design & Measure:
- Planned and sketched a rough design.
- Measured requirements for sketch design.
Step 2
2. Wooden Feature Wall:
- Built the wooden dress pine on and around the original suede paint effect we originally painted for the bulk plaster wall.
- Used masking tape to hold corners together whilst wood glue was drying.
- Used wood filler to cover gap corners and imperfections of the wood.
- Sanded and cleaned the dress pine once all built.
- Used the green Frogtape in readiness for staining the wood.
- Applied two coats of Cabot's Interior Stain in Teak colour.
- Applied one coat gloss finish of Cabot's Cabothane Clear.
Step 3
3. Demi-Round Wall Panels & Wooden Board for Hooks:
* Please note: Used liquid nails, as well as anchored the Demi-Round panels and wooden rack board onto the wooden structure of the house so they do not fall off or collapse.
- Used ScotchBlue tape on the ceiling architrave as a guide measurement to put the wooden board, as this needed to be centred.
- Built the border for the Demi-Round panels using Porta Moulding White Pine FJ Primed DAR 2.4m x 4.
- Built the Demi-Round panels onto the wall.
- Used wood filler to cover any nails and imperfections of the panels.
- Lightly sanded and cleaned the Demi-Round panels, borders and wooden board.
- Used Porta Moulding Pine Panel Mould Clear for the border of the wooden board. Also, lightly sanded and cleaned the wooden board moulding.
- Used the gap filler (white) to fill in all the corner and border gaps, as well as gaps in between the wall panels where required for a seamless look.
- Used Dulux semi-gloss paint (colour mixed using our original wall colour code - similar to a blizzard white) to paint the borders, Demi-Round panels, wooden board and mouldings. Applied 2 coats.
Step 4
4. Mounted Hooks onto Wooden Board:
- Used the Adored Black Wall Mount Beau Robe Hooks.
Step 5
5. Storage Bench Nook:
- Built the storage bench made to measure in proportion to the feature walls.
- Used wooden filler to cover nails and wood imperfections.
- Sanded and cleaned the wood.
- Used the gap filler to fill corners and gaps.
- Used the same paint as the Demi-round wall panels (Dulux semi-gloss).
- Installed the Pinnacle Black Fixed Pin Butt Hinge x 2.
- Installed Strut Taskmaster Gas Stay x 2.
Step 6
6. Completion, Decor, Before & After Pics:
