Question: What's your opinion on just putting this right over leftover wallpaper residue? In other words, I'd just peel off the nasty roses wallpaper, skip the step of spending FOREVER trying to clean off that leftover residue, and just nail up the shiplap right on top? Has ANYONE else tried this idea?? {Our master bathroom is insane big with 12' ceilings so DIYing it isn't gonna be easy as it is. Thanks again, Mrs. A.I.R.

@SilverLiningDayDreams

Thanks! I haven’t seen it over wallpaper so I can’t speak from experience. A couple things that come to mind though is not to use MDF board in case it leaches moisture from your shower. The thicker 1/2” plywood would show less imperfections between the planks but it’s harder to work with due to more warping. The 1/4 inch plywood is easier to work with but will show more imperfections between the planks. Maybe due a test by putting 2 or 3 planks on over a painted area and living with it few days to see how it looks from various angles and with the lighting in the room. Let us know what you end up doing and how it turns out. *The sure way is to remove the wallpaper and paint it•

Do you prefer to use glue on the boards or not? If so why? If not why? I’m going back and forth with this, specifically in my bathroom where I would be dealing with shower steam. I don’t want any bowing over time or potential mold developing behind the boards if that’s a thing. I saw where you spoke on using oil base prime in bathroom which I will do. Thanks for the tip.

I only used a little adhesive on one board when I shiplapped my kitchen backsplash by the sink and stove area because it was warped before I even installed it. I wouldn’t be afraid to use adhesive in the future though. Down the road if you remove shiplap which was affixed with adhesive you will rip off some drywall probably so you would want to make sure you are OK with that. I will link my other shiplap video below where I affixed one board with adhesive to the wall and used a temporary brace until dry in case you haven’t seen it yet and are interested in viewing it.

The MDF board in the bathroom off the master bedroom was due to watching other you tubers use it and trying it.

Really comes down to preference.For the top coat what we like is Sherwin Williams paint. I painted the shiplap back splash in our kitchen by our sink with their high hide white Emerald urethane trim enamel interior exterior semi gloss paint. That’s my favorite and it’s expensive so wait until they have a 30% or 40% off sale. Get on their email list. It is little more shiny. They have other options as well if you prefer less shine but it’s great for clean up. 😊

If you like the randomness of the gaps, and the randomness of how the shiplap meets the ceiling, and the randomness of the swelling, then why not leave the nails showing for their randomness too? All these imperfections are what gives this technique/style its character.

Thank you so much. We used 6” faux shiplap widths everywhere except for the kitchen backsplash. Above the kitchen sink and below the window above it measures 4 & 1/2”. Therefore 4 & 1/2” is the width on the bottom piece of backsplash shiplap used. Above that is 6” and above that 4”. I hope that makes sense. If possible I would remove the wall paper. We would suggest using plywood and not use paneling and buying plywood that comes pre-sanded on one of the sides. Let us know what you end up using and how it turns out. :)

With a little math you can still start at the bottom if you do not have a helper. It is a lot easier starting at the bottom. Just take the height of your wall and divide it by the width if your panel. The best way to get this width is lay 4-6 panels on the floor with what ever you are using for spacers in between the panels measure the total width and divide by the number of panels you put on the floor. If your number does not come out even and If you have a narrower piece start with that on the bottom.

Hi. I would suggest staggering the boards. If you search on KZread...staggering faux shiplap....a couple videos come up. I would be sure to have the ends come together on a stud and sink a couple extra nails carefully without splitting the wood. In our kitchen above our sink I filled the gap with drywall compound and lightly sanded with 220 sandpaper after dry. May have to do twice. It looks nice to us but if you go looking up close you can tell in some places that it is two boards butted up. Because it’s random it works. But it’s all preference and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You may want to consider staggering the seams and not filling with drywall compound as that is less work and also an awesome look. Let us know what you end up doing and how it turns out.

You should have added cove crown molding on top. You’re right that you see the top more than than the bottom, however both are important. Take the drop of the crown molding into consideration when planning your starter course. The bottom baseboard height can vary so you have constant look. Also 1/4” plywood is a poor choice, You see all the grain.

Hi Linda. I have never personally put shiplap on a plaster wall so unfortunately I can’t speak from experience. But here is what I think. You would want to make sure the plaster wall is in good condition first. Options are using an adhesive with some temporary nailing. Or may have to put 1/4” plywood sheets on wall to have something to affix your shiplap to. Plaster walls can be a nightmare to work with.

Depends on if you’re doing some sort of a real type shiplap that has a tongue and groove set up versus applying quarter inch cut pieces to be for faux shiplap. If you’re using faux shiplap, I think you’re gonna want some sort of a plywood or drywall, or some sort of backing behind your full shiplap. Having some sort of sheathing behind the faux shiplap will also reduce the amount of bowing inward or outward of the shiplap I would think Hope that helps. 😊

Hi. We would suggest staggering the boards. You can draw it out on paper first. I would be sure to have the ends come together on a stud and sink a couple extra nails carefully without splitting the wood. Could also use some construction adhesive. In our kitchen above our sink I filled the gap with drywall compound and lightly sanded with 220 sandpaper after dry. May have to do twice. It looks nice to us but if you go looking up close you can tell in some places that it is two boards butted up. Because it’s random it works in my opinion. I’ll put below a link to another video we did that shows you what we did in our kitchen. Good luck.

make a 45 deg cut away from sight from where you walk in the room. seperate the two 45 deg pcs by an 1/8 inch, and caulk. youll never see it from entering the room.

Great point. I usually make similar type cuts when installing long runs of baseboard.

or you could just measure the wall first and start at the bottom

Cloxygen- But why when you can just start at the top? It looks great, and he didn’t need to over complicate things. :)

Eh, my experience with the 1/4” cheap plywood is it’s delaminating and harder to control when ripping as it’s so flimsy. I’ll never go that route again. Just get the real shiplap and do it right.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m leaning towards trimming the edges and caulking the inside corners. Going to digest it a while longer.

don't ever use MDF around water sources; you will pay the price; architect

Good advice for peace of mind. So far no issues. I do touch a little bit on the subject of your comment in another video which I will link at the end of this comment if you’re interested in watching.
