Negative. Nobody lives forever

Back in my day we'd sprinkle paint chips on our meats and call it seasoning!!! That's what's wrong with kids these days, they gots a week constitution. Got to build up some character and eat some paint gawd damnit.

This is our next project. Anything you would do differently?

Love it! The stuff they pass for food these days is crazy. The stuff they invent to avoid butter and sugar are 100 times worse for you than butter and sugar.

So far I wouldn't do anything different.

I used 1/4" MDF for the panels, cut into 4 equal widths, my wall is 170" wide. My panels are about 42.5" wide and 72" tall. I used construction adhesive and nails to apply the MDF to the wall. The trim pieces are done the same way with construction adhesive and nails.

I was considering using 1/8" MDF, but the people at the molding place I go to said that 1/8" MDF would show imperfections in the wall a lot easier.

The LED strip I used is almost 1/4" wide, I adjusted the top trim piece up a touch so it created a raceway for the LED strip. The LED strip is wired to 3-way switches so it can be turned on and off from either side of the bed, and the transformer will be buried in the wall. I will take a picture of the raceway and add it to the above post.

This is the LED Strip I used.

The next step is to sand and fill all the holes and joints, then paint.

I'm also skimming the wall above the panels and going to do a metallic wallcovering that's a graphite color.

Here's some final pics of the feature wall.

With the drapes open and no light.


With the drapes closed and the LED light on. The pic doesn't do the wallcovering justice, it has a really nice metallic sheen with the lights on.

It looks really good. Did you do all this yourself?

It’s nothing fancy, but I’m happy with it so far. Prepped for prime/paint and waiting on the mirror to come in so I can build the door. Can’t wait to replace our shitty old medicine cabinet.
