I, like the above comment, am concerned about the mdf being straight though.

(I think it may just be his excuse to try to avoid doing it). He has all the tools he'd need, he's just such a perfectionist. I ended up ordering some beadboard wallpaper to use instead, but I'd still like to go with board and batten if I could convince him to do the cutting for me.Autumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099205411177928083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486575785351760971.post-73257662608408039602010-09-11T03:57:01.567-07:002010-09-11T03:57:01.567-07:00Hello everyone!

I have commissioned my dad to build us some big boy beds and I'm still deciding if I want them painted or stained... the jury's still out, but I think white furniture would look fine next to it... the dresser we have is from ikea and it's just the white lacquered finish, It's simple and cute and the whites go well together. Its amazing how whites can change in relation to other whites, though. I understand what you're staying. The white I used for the board and batten was Behr Ultra Bright White. No pink undertones, It's a crisp clean white. You might try that one?

I'm about to paint all my daughter's furniture and put up b&b and I'm trying to decide on a nice shade of white (a la P.B) to put on the furniture so it doesn't look yellow or yucky in front of whiet the b&b? Does that even make any sense?

Well, that is my DI as well- we've probably seen each other there, I seriously go there like 3 times a week! Anyway, they do have a yard section- it's out in the yard area. I agree with you- the selections look better at Shelly's SL store- I need to go check it out! Also, I absolutely LOVE your blog, your style, and your home!

It appears to be just the wall, but it's hard to tell from your photos.
