I asked my Better Half what to name this post and he said “Lookin’ like a fool with a hole in the wall”. Well, as you can see, it didn’t make the actual title but I’ll give you a hint of how this makeover came to fruition.
Four boys (plus) wrestling in the house (plus) one hundred year old plaster walls

MANdatory Hallway Makeover
Plaster is messy and hard to repair…So, we tried to come up with a less time consuming and easier way to fix this hole in the wall.
Don’t you love bead board?? We patched up the hole with drywall and then covered it with bead board. To make the most of our $19 piece of bead board, we had it cut right down the middle at the store. Then we added a piece of scrap MDF and trim to the top of the bead board to give us the height we needed.
Ahhh, so much better! I’m very glad this is fixed…I do however wonder how long it will be before we have another “MAN”datory repair!
Don’t miss out on any of my upcoming posts…Follow along!
What a fantastic idea! I LOVE beadboard!
What an excellent work! I wish I were as resourceful & talented as you are!
Looks AWESOME! I Love Beadboard!
I love bead board. It is so fresh looking. It is probably tempting to “accidentally” put in a few more holes so you have an excuse to do more! I found your blog through the sugar bee crafts link party and I’m your newest follower!

love how bright the space looks now. i love a good excuse to buy or change something! i just gave my paris loving cousin my eiffer tower lamp since i’m not into that vibe anymore. she’s thrilled, and i get to buy something i’d like more. win/win!
What a great idea! You are very courageous to tak eon projects like these. I would have no idea of where to even begin.
And nice blog you have here, I might add.
A very clever fix! It turned out great in the end.
It looks great! I have a little boy on the way (due in Nov)…is this what I have to look forward to?:) We already have a little girl…so I know I am up for some big surprises!
Looks great..I have 2 boys but they are still a little young to wrestle..Maybe I can invite your boys over to destroy my walls so I can make mine as gorg as yours are!
Very nice; I’m glad my kids are grown, lol!

How awesome is that?! I love how it turned out. I think I'm off to put some holes in my walls so I can have some dreamy wainscoting too! 🙂
Great idea! Very creative solution 🙂
Love beadboard myself, so I don't think you could go wrong and it looks so good. Really different and so cottage.
Wow! Your hallway turned out amazing! I hope you will link it up at my Savvy HomeMade Monday blog party tomorrow!
