Comments (4)www.woodworkerssource.com has great information on the hardness, stability, and workability of lots of different types of wood. We're in the planning phases of a similar project. I'm here looking for feedback on how/if horizontal slat walls are as much of a pain to keep clean as I imagine they might be (unless they are easy to dust). I don't like the aesthetic of vertical slats as much, but I'm thinking that's what we'll go with out of caution around dust build up......See MoreWood Slat Color for Accent Wall
Comments (7)Ohhh what a lovely inspiration look. Seems like the accent wall was treated like part of the furniture for a cohesive look, Very calming on the eyes. The floor stands on its own and not trying to be so matchy with the accent wall, but both compliment each other nicely.....See More- 6 years ago
