The project

As the years have passed and the original shelving gave way, I knew the coffee station needed a glow up. It took a while to work out what profile we would use in this space, but once chosen there was no stopping me. When it came to paint colours, I knew how in love I was with Dulux Dinosaur in the laundry, so I knew I wanted to compliment that space and Dulux Herbalist was the winner. It is the perfect pop of colour to bring a smile when making your daily coffee.

Step 1

Where it started with the original shelf falling down!

Start by measuring up the space you want to panel. My tip is always measure twice or three times and at different points of the wall. 

If your putting shelves up, locate the studs and secure the shelves to the specifications on the packaging. 

Step 2

Measure your panels twice and then cut. A good tip here is to do a dry run first so everything locks into place.

If you are painting the panels, my suggestion would be to take them off and place them on the floor how they will be on the wall, or number the back side of them.

Step 3

Remove from the wall and paint away. 

Grab your adhesive and nail gun and start panel by panel. Place Liquid Nails on the back of the panel and put into position and secure with a few nails in the channel to hold it into place. Repeat this step until you're finished.

Once everything is up, give it a touch up with paint if needed.

 

Step 4

Styled and ready for coffee making!
