Hi Tina, thanks for posting, it is all looking great. Shame about the panelling, but sometimes these things happen for a reason. It is great the armoire matches the doors so well when they are all on one wall, but I don't think you need to have the bed and side tables matching, especially when they are on another wall. My issue with painting furniture, while I love it, is the maintenance. It does chip over time and becomes one more thing to paint. I don't know what the timber is in your furniture but another possible option, especially to give you the coastal vibe is to lime it. To do this successfully, you will need to sand all the existing stain off it and go back to the raw timber. The darker the original timber, the less limed look you will get so bear that in mind too. I did an old bunk bed up that had seen better days, for my grands bedroom. It was a dark red wood, but with 4 coats of stain I got the look I was after which was that driftwood/coastal look. The whole thing looks totally new again. Sorry I can't post a photo as this function no longer works for me. Have a look at the Feast Watson range of liming stains, they have some gorgeous soft colours as well, but they let the timber show through rather than having the solid painted look. It is a very easy product to use, it dries quickly - I did the 4 coats over 2 days effortlessly. The hard work is in the sanding.

Thank you, Courtney. Yes, Natalie did a beautiful job. We have a huge range of Pressed Tin Wall and Ceiling Panels with many sizes and designs available. I hope your feature wall project goes beautifully. Please share pictures of your completed work. Thank you.

there's not enough space to have any open shower the best option is the sliding glass doors but a shallow bench with semi recessed handbasin and mirror doored wall cabinets would feel more spacious than a vanity

Thank you for your response siriuskey. Several reasons as to why I would like to line the wall: We use the garage as the main entry/exit to the house. We don’t park our cars inside, and the kids play in the garage frequently. So I just thought I’ll give the space a mini makeover. We will be getting some new tall cabinetry that will run along approx three-quarters of the wall. The cabinets will need to be anchored onto the wall for safety reasons, but due to the current recessed brick work I’m unsure how. The most viable option I could come up with is to straighten out the wall. DIY Vj paneling is a cheaper option to getting the wall plastered. It will probably cost me a few hundred dollars as opposed to $1200+. Any other suggestions you may have is most welcome, thank you so much.
