How To Install Beadboard On An Island' title='How To Install Beadboard On An Island' />Does that make sense Most of them were just cut out of the sides of the beadboard piece only one was cut out of the middle of a panel. Do do that, youll need to drill holes with a drill bit to get a start for your jigsaw, then cut out the hole for the switchoutlet. These DO NOT have to be perfect this is a very good thing Youll want the electrical outlet to sit on the beadboard. Not like I have pictured above I hadnt glued that one down yet. When you put the outlet cover back on, it will cover all sins . To get your outlet to come out from the wall a bit to match up with the beadboard, you may need some spacers. These go behind the outlet and make them come out a bit more, so they are flush with the beadboard. This is important because the beadboard is about 14 inch thick and without these, the outlets and switches wouldnt match up with their covers. Does that make sense There are a few tricky areas I had to work with one was the window sill. I still need to caulk these and this side I may actually slip a little piece of beadboard in so theres not such a gap. The other side looks a lot better. For this spot, I was going to use a handy dandy tile tool that molds into areas like this, then you can trace it and jigsaw it out. But I forgot to buy it on my 8. Home Depot, and I wasnt going back that day again. So I took a piece of paper and traced around the edge of the window sill. It was very crude and not exact, but I cut it out, traced it on the board, and it WORKED There was one area above the sink of course one spot that is SO noticeable that kept bulging and would not stick to the tile where the beadboard met up. It was driving me mad I made the mistake of trying to nail into it, and it just wasnt happening with the tile behind it. I ended up leaning barbells against it overnight to make it stay put At least they got used for something Hee. Anyhoo, that area looks like butt. I may try sanding it down with the heavy duty sander and painting over it again. Or I may just ignore it because no one else will ever notice it. I like the ignoring idea. For some of the edges, I just came up with ways to trim it out on the fly. This one was a piece of craft wood from Michaels, and a dowel rod on the corner. Ive told you before how I use dowel rods with beadboard they are a PERFECT for inside and outside corners and edges youre not sure what to do with. They look like the bead in beadboard. And the bonus They are less than a buck each. Score I have a little bit of an obsession with corbels LURVE them. So when I saw them in Laylas kitchen and then used in a kitchen I loved in a magazine, I was hooked I think I had hubby hold them up in place about 4. I liked them in our kitchen. And I did. The installation of these was a bit tricky with the tile behind the beadboard. To start, I took a one inch piece of wood and glued it to the underside of the cabinets, then installed the corbels under those. It brought them down a bit, so you can actually see them. I didnt install them under the edge of the cabinets because of an outlet that was in the way on one wall. Most of them are about two inches in from the edge of the cabinets, except for the one above. 64 Bit Installer Required Autocad 2017 here. They dont all match exactly placement wise, but if anyone notices it when they come to my house, Ill give them a cookie for being so observant. First Ill shoot them the stink eye, then Ill give them a cookie. I found finishing nails that were just slightly longer than the thinnest part of the corbel, drilled a hole into the corbel, then nailed it into the wall. If I had used a longer nail, it wouldnt have gone through the tile behind the beadboard. Does that make sense I used liquid nails on the corbel and then nailed it into the piece of wood under the cabinet too. They arent going anywhere. Actually this whole backsplash is indestructible. I told hubby that we better like this for a long, LONG while, cause its going to take professionals to get it down. I extended the beadboard past where the tile originally went to add some interest. Heres a before I attached scraps of beadboard on the wall, it was the same thickness as the tile, so it matched and was flush, then used the finished pieces on top I did the same around the kitchen window took the beadboard up high instead of stopping where the tile did. And I LOVE IT. Ignore that black switch plate cover. I had to replace all of the black outlets and switches with white ones. The new white one wasnt big enough and I wasnt going back to Home Depot. Again. I found the unfinished edges of the beadboard, no matter how straight they were, drove me batty. So I had to finish them off with trim to cover up any imperfections, and Im so glad I did. I think it makes it look finished off and even more custom and you know I cant resist woodwork of any kind. Sooothe painting. Um, annoying. I used primed mdf beadboard panels these were twice the thickness of the single panels about seven inches wide. The primed beadboard does help tremendously A few of you Squeezes mentioned painting them before installation and normally I completely agree. But this time Im glad I didnt the installation process got a bit messy. Between the glue and the dust it would have needed a whole new paint job anyway. And the jigsaw put a ton of marks all over the pieces I cut, so theres no easy way to get the painting done but the primed boards helps fo sho It only took me three weeks, and I still have some minor touch ups, but otherwise, its DONE. Heres a bit of a before and afterignore my obnoxious arrows in the before shots. And check out the light and bright after. I had planned all this time to use a cream color on the backsplash, to pull in the color from the counters. I did a few feet of it, stepped back, and HATED IT. It looked too much like the wall color and looked dirty. NOT the light and bright I was after. So I went with the semi gloss Behr primer and paint that I used in the Bubs room and it worked GREAT. I figured Id have to poly over it all to make sure it would hold up well, but as far as I can tell, Im not going to need to. The semi gloss makes it completely wipeable. It has completely transformed our kitchenBefore. I want to break out in Stevie Wonder song Isnt she lovely . Charleston Home Design Magazine Spring 2. Charleston Home and Design Magazine.
