    You mention this being budget friendly- I used a website to generate a quote for a kit including chair rain and frame boxes for a 13ft square room and it came out to almost $700. Is that comparable to your expense? That’s not even counting paint, primer, caulking.

    Do you measure the length of the hight and with of the moulding on the squares then just cut a 45 degree angle on them.? Love how it turned out going to try this out.

    Hi,
    It looks so nice, im trying to do this in our baby room, but our walls have glass tissue (not sure if its the right english term) so we have a hard time getting the smooth wood look. How did you get the wall to be completely smooth and blank, so it all looks like wood?

    Funny video. What do you do on the longer walls with the dado rail, are they cut to the right length or do you attach 2 pieces together and hide the join?

    What paint was used was it a standard emulsion paint on both the woodwork and the walls as obv normally woodwork should be a solvent based or water based wood paint like eggshell or satin wood
