It actually worked out perfectly because one of the slats actually makes the fourth side of my box! So I only needed to make a 3 sided box! Once my box was done, I secured the pulled out outlet into place and then secured the box into its position.
#How to mount slatwall full
See a full tutorial on the box outlet here. I used those folding spacers to securely extend and mount the outlet away from the wall. So that it runs right into the wood planks. To tackle this, I am going to be framing all around it like I did in my bedroom. My main obstacle for this DIY Midcentury Modern Slat Wall Tutorial was the light switch. When nailing, I used the criss cross technique with my nail gun where I place two angled so they overlap in the wall. And then ran the spacer all the way up, placing nails with my nail gun as I went. I started at the bottom and put a nail in the wood slat. So the gap between each slat is the width of the small side of the board. I used a piece of the same board I used for the slats and turned it on it’s side for a spacer. Let’s jump into getting these wood slats on the wall for this DIY Midcentury Modern Slat Wall Tutorial! So when it’s done it’s going to look like the baseboards are woven right through the wood slats! So I took off that piece of baseboard and saved it to bring back in once the slats were done. These are all the thoughts that go on inside my head, lol.

Plus I wanted it to look even more detailed by weaving the baseboard into the slats. From here, one coat of custom stain, and one coat of pecan stain.īefore officially starting I placed the slats on the wall to get an idea of the look, but I didn’t like how they stuck out a little bit further than the base board. To prep them I did one coat of wood conditioner.

I started by prepping and staining the boards for install the night before.
