I am considering doing board and batton in my dining room. Do you have any guidance on the general height of the board and batton. I have heard that if you do it too high it will make a room feel smaller. Also, do you have Any suggestions or pictures of how to do the corners. Thanks in advance for your help!

If I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like you just installed the baseboards & door trims. Did you use some kind of paneling on the walls to hide the drywall texture or did you just let that show through the paint?

Each wall has different spacing but it is as close to being the same as I could get. Home Depot has a great book "walls and trim" that has detailed information and professional tips for measuring specifically for this type of wall treatment. <br />Hope that helps!<br />Best, SarahThe Yellow Cape Codhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545575147569308831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592342156309750688.post-54082345357793743152012-08-08T05:00:35.015-07:002012-08-08T05:00:35.015-07:00Anonymous, Yes, the spacing is different on each w...Anonymous, Yes, the spacing is different on each wall. :)The Yellow Cape Codhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545575147569308831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592342156309750688.post-81349967586748425512012-08-07T09:58:12.530-07:002012-08-07T09:58:12.530-07:00Wow!

We will be attempting crown, base, and board batten for the first time as soon as we close on our house. I have taken your 31 day challenge to my never ending list of things to get done. I must ask though, which pneumatic nailer did you use for your board batten? I seem to be running back and forth trying to figure out which one is best for the job.
