Board and Batten Inspo

I can't start any diy project without scouring the internet for all of the possible variations and tips the world has to share. Here are blog posts and pictures that helped me make the decisions for my board and batten wall.

This write up was the most useful tutorial I found to help me make particular design decisions. This is also where I got the 45 degree angle idea.

These two images moved me towards a taller wall - we decided on 2/3 of the way up our wall. They also helped to inspire our color choice!

Another decision to make involved the stairs. Should we run the boards up the stairs or let the design stop when it hit the steps? Continuing the board and batten wall up the stairs would have taken significantly more work and committed us to the same design upstairs. It took me a very long time to find an example of the wall ending as it reached the stairs but once I saw a visual representation I knew it was the right choice.

Here's a few more dreamy photos. Something about the way the wall wraps around the corners is very satisfying to me.

This was the back up plan if the board and batten wall didn't work out. Again, we see the version that follows the stair case and the version that runs into it. What I find notable about both is that the accent wall color is brought into elements of the stairs, as well. The railing on the green one and the stairs themselves on the blue one.
