We have lived with a rather dull bedroom for the past 24 years, so my wife suggested that we do a little updating. She suggested that something different with the walles would take the room into a more modern look. I suggested a barnwood effect would look good, but then she saw a cool picture of a very modernistic approach to a midcentury house, she showed me the picture of a wall with beautiful vertical slats. We both agreed, that would be the approach for one of our bedroom walls. I bought some very economical pine boards 1x8x6' from a wood outlet. I ripe sawed 4 slats for every board and ended up with 80 slats. Next, the showing edges were rounded with my router, and then finish sanded with my Dremel Multi-Tool. We went to Home Depot and bought a quart of stain and the slats were all stained 3 sides. I attached the slats to 3 horizontal boards to build 2 sections. I attached the sections to the back wall with screw in wallboard fastners. The result is the following pictures.
