This home project has taken the blogging world by storm! it’s everywhere!! and i love it. I can’t help but love any project that involves a nail gun. hehe. I’m planning on doing this in my next house..somewhere. i haven’t decided where haha. I just think it adds such charm and architectural detail to a space! Done in the right way (and amount) it looks beautiful.i’ll be sure to share the project when it happens.

key thing i’ve been reading…paint before you put it up! good to know.
her whole project cost them about $150 and that includes the hubby’s new toy: the nail gun.
