Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal

Floor-to-ceiling vertical tongue-and-groove shiplap painted in soft alabaster white, providing texture and vertical height, accented by two tiers of 2-inch thick rough-sawn cedar floating shelves.

Step-by-Step Execution Guide

  • Install 6-inch wide vertical nickel-gap shiplap boards directly onto drywall, nailing into horizontal blocking or wall studs.

  • Paint the shiplap in an ultra-durable semi-gloss or satin moisture-resistant white paint (Benjamin Moore Simply White).

  • Fasten heavy-duty solid steel hidden floating shelf rods into studs at 18 inches and 32 inches above the folding counter.

  • Slide pre-drilled 2-inch thick rough-sawn oak or cedar timber shelves onto the steel rods.

  • Style shelves with glass detergent jars, woven wicker baskets, and small trailing potted plants.
