Grey DIY Shiplap Style Wall

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Behr.  All opinions are 100% mine.

I can't believe it is February already!  I am just loving 2017 so far!  I have a cute little sidekick who keeps me busy and it's a little harder to get projects done around the house but her smiles make it all worth it!  I have big things I am working on behind the scenes on my blog and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds this year.  But today I am really so excited because I have partnered with Behr on their Designer Stories Series on their site and I am so excited to share the awesomeness that is my son's bedroom!  I recently shared my daughters shared bedroom on my blog and their room and my older daughter's loft bed has been a huge hit.  Well we built a loft bed for my son too and it is just as cool...actually maybe it is cooler!  But one of my favorite parts of his room is the fantastic Grey DIY Shiplap Style Wall that is behind his loft bed!  It is so pretty!  So trendy.  And so easy to do!  Seriously!  You can recreate a wall like this in a weekend!  I am so excited to share it with you today.  (I’m also hosting a giveaway so make sure you enter for your chance to win a $50 Home Depot gift card at the bottom of the post). Then, be sure to head over to Behr.com to see how it came to be!

Grey DIY Shiplap Style Wall

What I love about this wall is that it isn't a typical, expected, white shiplap style wall.  It is beautiful and painted an on-trend grey!  Oh I just LOVE it!  And let me be perfectly honest with you, I have actually had this project done for a couple of months and it is holding up great even with my son literally climbing up the wall every day!  The key to that is definitely the primer and the paint we used.

We just love how this turned out!  And you can see the entire project with lots of photos, and see what paint color we ended up using by heading over to behr.com.

And be sure to enter to win a $50 Home Depot gift card below so you can begin work on your next project now!

Please wait a minute for the Rafflecopter widget to load.  If you are on mobile, you might see a link below.  Just click that link and you will be taken to a page where you can enter to win.  Thanks!
