I did this in my living room with the same exact wood and my Home Depot cut all of the 8 inch strips for me and wow I did a large area. My husband thought I was crazy and could not see the vision and told me I was wasting my time and money. Low an behold he absolutely loves it and keeps asking me when am I going to do the powder room? I don't think he will question me ever again haha.. I recently just built a farm house table myself and again he was blown away but he was smart and didn't say anything til I was done .. he again couldn't believe it. Glad I came across your channel tonight and subscribed ...

I saw a video where a lady painted the space in between each strip before installing the next one. Which made it easier in the end to paint the whole wall without trying to get paint into those cracks even though it might seem as time consuming

OMG .. i been searching for easy affordable way to do this project in my 20 year old rv i'm renovating ..thanks for this short video

[thecaca]

WOW! For a 20 year old i'm learning alot from all the content you're putting on your channel.
Hopefully this becomes bigger than YouTube for you man!

Awesome! This is exactly what I’m looking to do. Great idea on using the thin plywood. Easier to work with, cheaper, and doesn’t require me to rip off old door casings to accommodate a thicker board.

To all those commenting on the 1st piece.... The 1st piece WAS level. it’s the ceiling that’s not. Only way to ensure the rest of the wall is straight. He did it right. Maybe cover with crown molding.

This is the best DIY on the cheap shiplap I've ever seen 😊 Thank you for sharing 👍

I’m getting ready to do faux shiplap using coins between 5 1/2” mdf. Thanks for the great video to help me get started

I know it’s been 7 years since you did this, but I need to know how well it held up and is there a shower in that bathroom. My husband says the moister from the shower will get behind the boards and cause mildew. I don’t think so, but that could be wishful thinking ha! I did my kitchen this way and I’m so in love with it!

[kennethhudson]

That's what I like a affordable option, loos great, guys!

[MsTangeray]

Thanks for this! Was going to order some faux peel and stick but I think I’ll try this instead! Love it!

[KelseyBarnardMusic]

The best! We actually covered our popcorn ceilings with a similar method a few months ago. So much easier than scraping (and sooo pretty!)

[jeremyfekete]

Thank you for this video. My wife and I started on ours today. This was a big help. Thank so much

[TikiTiffany]

looks good! I just finished a shiplap wall in my hearth room. I love it! I did 6 inch strips!

This is the video I have been looking for and didn’t know existed! Super helpful and love the way it turned out. Ignore the haters, some people are perfectionists, but I bet you get a lot of compliments on it regardless and if your home makes you happy then no one else’s opinion matters 😊

[haroldbartley]

Awesome idea! I have some customers that would LOVE the cost saving way of this ship lap look. ☆☆☆☆☆

[EvendimataE]

for spacer i used that free paint stirrer they give for free at home depot

[robhimself]

thank you for saying faux. far too many people do this sort of install and refer to it as actual ship lap. good work

[AdamWillea]

Please explain what you did for the light switches area. Did you install box extenders? Or just screw directly into the plywood?
