  1. This looks so great! I love your dimensioning and plans 🙂 Our powder room needs attention, so I’m super excited to see how you do yours!

      Thanks Brittany! It was really difficult to get some good pictures while we were building in that tiny space. So I ended up with my own illustrations ;). So glad to have you here on the blog! Thanks for stopping by.

  2. It looks SO great! Your electrical outlet solution is genius, too. I’d have never thought of shiplap to be a modern design element but it works so well!

      Thanks Meredith! I’m really happy with how it ended up looking. And my husband Ben gets all the credit for that outlet trick ????

  3. Wow, love how it turned out! Thanks for such a helpful and detailed outline of exactly what you need to do to install shiplap! I’ll be using your guide when we do it ourselves in our dining room 🙂 cheers!

    FYI in your instructions you say to cut one board 1/2″ longer then the wall. If you did that the board would not fit end to end if it’s a 1/2 longer then the wall. I think you ment to say cut the board 1/2″ shorter. and the other board the same length as the wall, This will allow you to butt joint the corner up against the other. Nice job by the way!

      Whoops! Thanks for catching that. I have fixed it in the post.

  5. Great project and super helpful. Did I miss what you used to cap off the top on the shiplap?

    1. Christene Holder says:

      The top piece is a piece of 1×2 MDF that I turned on it’s side to use as a “trim.”

    Is there a reason you didn’t paint the boards before nailing them? Wouldn’t that have been easier?

    1. Christene Holder says:

      I didn’t think of doing it that way but that would totally work too!

    Hi, this looks great – looking to mimic you. What did you do about the 12″ toilet? Was it not flush against the wall?

  8. Thank a lot for the instruction guide. This makes renovating so much easier 🙂
    But there is still one question.
    Were the shiplaps nailed directly onto the wall? What kind of wall was it that did not need a sub-construction?

    Thank you,
    Alex

      1. What size of tile spacers did you use?! Can’t wait to copy you in a bathroom! It’s do fresh!

  9. What size tile spacers did you use?

  10. Did you remove the toilet for installation or were you able to work around it and fit the board behind?

  11. Very good job! Where did you purchase the shelf unit over the toilet?
