My hubby and I have been working on our diy board and batten in the entry way.  It's almost done and I can't wait to show pictures.  It did end yesterday when I came home from a jewelry party and my hubby had put up the boards himself and I kindly said it would drive me up the wall everyday I see it because a few of them were crooked...that led to a crowbar ripping boards off the wall around 11pm...whoops...he did a good job after all was done! Pictures coming shortly...

Hope you have a great week & thanks for reading!
