Here's the link for that: http://blog.jennasuedesign.com/2016/03/diy-shiplap-tutorial-video-the-easy-and-inexpensive-way/<br /><br />I sure hope this helps with your own project, please let me know how it goes!<br />ox<br />LeslieLeslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367872267145012395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-79769451086903747482017-02-05T06:44:17.797-08:002017-02-05T06:44:17.797-08:00You never did share a post on your bedroom plankin...You never did share a post on your bedroom planking DIY.

How wonderful to be able to not only design your projects but to hand-craft them is such a talent. I have tried my hand at many things but working with wood is not one of them. I cannot wait to see more of the planked family room. I personally think that you need to contact Eddie Ross at Better Homes and Gardens and have him come and do a photos shoot of your beautiful "new" house. Keep up the beautiful work Leslie!<br />Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-9044484786568220862016-08-25T16:08:27.271-07:002016-08-25T16:08:27.271-07:00Wow!

It's like you had a zillion designs to pick from, and somehow, you've picked the perfect one for the room and the feeling of the space. <br /><br />I'm curious, and perhaps not something you would want to comment on in your blog, but what is it like to live in a house, exist in a marriage where you can do this? I can't imagine. I can no longer imagine, so I'm living through others. xx NancyStonecropsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339562848477978976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-45490166400030780002016-08-23T05:37:00.218-07:002016-08-23T05:37:00.218-07:00Seriously, amazing!!Seriously, amazing!!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-5460049570496624172016-08-22T15:49:14.153-07:002016-08-22T15:49:14.153-07:00Love your makeover!

You're right, the fireplace now looks like it was built back in the day in this charming beach cottage and the new owners just gave it a fresh coat of paint. I love the overall style and character of the rooms with all of the changes you've made.
