Before you start cutting and installing your beadboard, you will want to find all your studs. Use your stud finder to locate and mark the studs on the wall.
There are two ways to go about cutting your beadboard down to size. A circular saw or table saw would work best for this. My husband chose to use the circular saw out of convince but if I was cutting I probably would have chose the table saw.
If you have any windows or outlets to trim around you will need to use a jigsaw to trim out your cuts. We were lucky and only had the window trim that I had to trim around.
As for installing the beadboard we chose not to use liquid nails and only attach with our nail gun.
If you down the road want to remove that accent wall you will have more work for yourself if you used liquid nails.
Try your best to get as many nails into studs and for when you don’t have that option just aim your nail gun to the left at an angle and then to the right so they cross over one another.
This step is super simple just grab a level, your nail gun and put the 1×4 right on top of your beadboard and then lay your 1×2 flat to create a decorative edge and nail it in.
