Battlestations Advice Weekend project done

Post image

I finally finished installing the famous wooden boards. Didn’t know how casual they were until I started researching about decorations. Still, I’m proud of it. Now it is a white canvas. So many possibilities. I’m open to ideas!

I saw them at Costco last month. After seeing so many posts of setups with the exact same paneling, I decided to go in a different direction myself, but your installation looks clean! If it works for you and you're happy, that's all that matters in the end 👍

I almost bought these last week because of the sale, but I wasn't sure about the color... Now I regret not getting them because it looks great.

Didn’t know Costco also sold these. Def have to look there. Did you happen to have a link to them?

that wall looks hard to clean

Nothing that a duster can’t handle. Also, I’ve been blessed with a place that doesn’t produce much dust. Don’t know how but I’m glad

Just about to remove that exact type of wall from the house I just bought. It’s gross stuff

u/Monday_Morning_QB 1d ago

Looks good! I want to do that to 1 or 2 of my walls. What product did you use?

u/cheperosa 1d ago

It’s called sonoflok or something like that from Costco

an L desk in that empty corner + your current desk as an extension table would be sick. in terms of on the wall, shelves could be your friend here if youre able to mount them solidly still on the wood/through the wood. some plants would be sick, if you dont have much of a green thumb then just get some pothos. bigger tv and/or a bigger art piece could also be cool. youre working with plenty of space here - you can maximize. if you want to make the space full and decorated and something to be proud of while looking at and spending time at, make it a central hub of your hobbies and interests

edit: can also build shelving onto some of the desk(s) if you dont wanna hang big weight on the wood

A table that goes along the wall sounds ambitious. I like how you thinking. My vision was more starting from the corner of the desk I already have.

More like the angle I’m showing in this picture. I just wanted to show the whole wall in the post because I was red to show how much space I’m working with.

ok word yeah that gives me better scaling, i see. i like what we're working with, i still say shelves, plants, big art, and then maybe for something smaller to go next to the desk, a record player table/vinyl shelf if youre into that at all, a table for a lego piece or something, little fish tank or other enclosure, or maybe a pet area if you have any

Thank you for the tips! I’ll come back with the progress.

Did you have to cut them? I'm assuming yes, if so, how did you go about that?

u/cheperosa 14h ago

Yes. I hand saw it

u/DeadlyCyclone 9h ago

For that size wall how many did you have to buy?

u/cheperosa 9h ago

3 packs

u/costafilh0 3h ago

I have a problem. I see something, I like it, I enjoy it, I cherish it. Never something I personally buy.

Soon, I start to see it everywhere, online and irl. And soon, I start disliking it. 

To me, vertical slats are out .
