Living room featured wall using Tasmanian Oak installed behind a wall-mounted television.
The project
Tasmanian Oak feature wall behind tv. This wall was very bare and I thought it needed something.
As I take this photo now, I question why the TV isn't in the centre and I began where I did (TV was already on the wall). My walls are Masonite and you can see the joins, so I remember now that I just began at that join not even thinking the TV isn't centred. Oh, well! The TV is always angled anyway to where we sit.
This wall became quite expensive as I never intended to do the whole wall, but just kept going because I didn't like it in a small section.
I also added the piece of wood in the empty space of the cabinet, painted the brass handles black with spray paint, and painted the walnut coloured cabinet top with door trim white paint.
Note: Some pieces are bowed so not all gaps look the same.
Steps
Step 1
Worked out how long I wanted the Oak on the wall. I left a gap at the top and bottom. This allowed for me to put a piece on wood lengthways on the skirting that I could rest the Oak on, then it will all begin from the same height.
Step 2
Cut all Oak pieces to the same length, as they do come all slightly different.
Step 3
Light sand and two coats of clear satin varnish.
Step 4
Nailed to wall using nail gun where there are studs.
Step 5
Finished. Spaced by the thickness of the wood.
