Board and Batten DIY

For my birthday I convinced Dave to gift me a board and batten wall in our front entryway. We had been wanting to do an accent wall for the front entry hallway since it was such a long awkward stretch of drywall. Finally after living in this house since 2014 we finally did it.

We followed a couple different tutorials. Angela Rose Home’s tutorial for a board and batten accent wall (since we have textured walls) and Young House Love’s board and batten DIY tutorial since they’re look is more what we were going for.
