Hi Kate, I have been drooling over this look ever since I found you on Pinterest a year and a half ago! I LOOOOOOOOVE it. Do you have any suggestions for me how I could tackle this to cover a half brick wall? I am unsure how to get a trim board attached to the brick so I could have something sturdy to attach the dry erase board to. I know this is THE answer to updating the 70′s brick that I just cannot take another minute. :) Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

LOOOOOOOOVE your board and batten tutorials!! You totally inspired me and my super-bumpy-gross walls to cover them up and do it myself too! So I am getting ready to paint…. Did you sand your dry erase board before priming?

Hi Kate,
I am trying this in our bathroom… I am wondering if you have any thoughts on how to deal with the vertical boards around the sink.. Generally the attached backsplash on a bathroom sink/vanity sits flush against the wall. I was thinking I could just cut the vertical boards to sit on top of the sink.. We haven’t picked up our new sink yet, so I can’t try it out yet, just trying to plan ahead…
Thanks so much for sharing your project – looks fantastic!

Hi Julie, I don’t have a photo but I stopped right at the window but you can cut your trim at a 45 degree angle to wrap inside the window frame!
