I had calculated that I would need six vertical boards in total. So, next I began measuring from the top of my bottom baseboard to the bottom of my top board to get the exact measurement each vertical would need to be cut. They were each 47″, give or take a little bit. I then installed the main top trim 1x4x8 board using the nail gun. Since I wanted my entire height to be 55″ from the top of my baseboard, I marked at 45 1/2″, 49″, and 49 3/4″ along three different spots for the next installation steps. Once my baseboard was secured, I measured from the top of that board to ensure that the remainder of my wood would stay level. FYI our walls were exactly 96″, so I didn’t have to cut the two main horizontal boards. I ended up nailing every 8″ to make sure my board was flush against the wall. I then used a pneumatic nail gun to secure my bottom 1x4x8 board to the studs.
Remember, this was my first ever solo project using power tools. My husband gave me some direction that morning before he left for work but otherwise, I completed this project on my own. I also used a magnetic stud finder for certain parts.
Then, using a stud finder, I marked all of my studs at 24″ on center. Once the trim pieces were dry, I placed my baseboard on the ground and made sure it was level.

While the wall was drying, I painted all of my trim pieces. I had five 1x4x8 pre-primed MDF boards for the batten and one 1x2x8 pine board for the top trim. I love BEHR PREMIUM PLUS Interior Satin Enamel Paint for bathrooms because of its long-lasting finish and that it’s washable. Using a paint roller, give your wall a first coat of paint. I was immediately smitten with the color! Next, based on the total height of your board and batten (mine was 55″ tall in total), measure and mark with your pencil. The first step to creating a modern board and batten accent is to remove the baseboard along the wall. I used a utility knife to score along the top caulked seam and a prybar to pop it all off. Prior to starting this project, I drew out and decided on my dimensions for each piece of my board and batten wood treatment. Prybar How do I make a modern board and batten wall?
