I returned from my wood shopping trip (both of my local home centers stock the stuff) and popped a sheet up on some 2 x 4’s atop my improvised work table.See something that brings up a question?

Instead, I chose to cut equal panels, barely wider than I needed to span all of the spaces. If I used full 4’ x 8’ sheets along the wall, I’d have to cut them to join directly behind a vertical trim piece. I chose to cover the wall with thin sheets of super-smooth, thin hardboard ( High Density Fiberboard (HDF)). In the end, I figured the spatter and dust I’d create smack-dab in the middle of the house while doing our day-to-day living would be too much, especially so soon after the year-long kitchen remodel. I considered just how much time and mess I’d have to go through while I did the project on my (weekend-only) DIY schedule. I was sure I could do it with her excellent instructions.

I’d read a great skim coating tutorial a while back by one of my blogging buddies, Sara of Ugly Duckling House.

I thought about skim coating the lower section of the wall to make it ultra smooth. The wall covering is supposed to look like smooth panels. It wouldn’t look good for wainscoting background. Most homes around here don’t have smooth, plaster finished walls, but a have a knockdown or orange peel texture.
