My adorable client had a wall in her home that was her nemesis. Her home is filled with beautiful architectural details, but this wall was big and boring. She loved the look of board and batten and wondered if it would be appropriate for this wall.Directly across from the wall is a beautiful wall of windows.
I wanted to repeat the details of the window wall onto the opposite wall. I sketched out a drawing and her talented husband used it as inspiration.They started by painting out the lower portion of the wall.He framed out the sides and top.Added the vertical boards to the lower portion. Topped with a horizontal band. Then finished off the top portion with vertical boards.Big and Boring is now Bold and Beautiful!

I'd love to know that lovely green paint color. Looks gorgeous!
Oh Wow!!!! That is absolutely amazing!
The wall is fantastic and mimicking the window...genius!
Gorgeous! I love that look and can't wait till I can do something like this in our next home.
That wall really gives the room character.
Great job! If you put mirrors at the top, you could take advantage of the beautiful view on the windows :)
