I'm so thankful to have found the coffee stirrers I needed for my beadboard bookcases! They were even the perfect length! 7 inches!
I spread a thin layer of wood glue on a piece of balsa wood and glued them down. Then I put them between two pieces of waxed paper and weighted them down overnight.
Here's how they look propped up in the living room with the fireplace. Next I'll be building the cabinets and shelves. More later...
Hope you have good Friday!
Blessings,
Kathi
IDEA!
I want beadboard behind the shelves in my bookcases. Like this.
I searched for wallpaper that looks like wood paneling, looked for wood with lines in it, and then this idea came to me.
I got out a scrap of basswood. Found a small crochet hook with a pointy end (I don't crochet so at least I'm using it for something!) then I scored little lines down the wood. Presto! "beadboard paneling!"
The only problem I see is making sure the lines are parallel and straight. I'll let you know if this works...
Blessings,
Kathi
