Board and Batten is a easy Way to freshen up your entryway. Follow these steps below to recreate this look!

Measuring Your Space The first step for creating this board and batten wall is to measure out your space, and decide how high you want the top horizontal board to be on the wall. begin by marking off some possible measurements for the height, and stand back to see how it will look. After you settle on a height, use a long metal ruler and a level to draw a level line across the entire wall. Next measure out your wall and determined how far apart you want the vertical battens to be. (Shown in picture- 17 inches apart starting with the first batten being flush against the wall).Next, mark off your spacing between each board.
