I loved the board & batten accent wall with shelf in my bedroom so much that I did it again in the stairway to the basement. It makes such a statement and creates another shelf that I can decorate! ;)
Still missing base boards on the sides and some touch ups on the wall, but I love how it looks! And check out the cool vintage frame I got at the thrift store. :)
