Beadboard Sheets Become Chevron Paneling

Designer Janelle Steinberg of the blog Maison Classique transformed a plain, builder-grade powder room by designing an innovative use of beadboard paneling. Placed on an angle to create a chevron pattern, it changes the entire look of the space. Makes you think about beadboard paneling in a whole new way. Love it!!!
In progress - vertical stiles provide a finished look to the seams of the chevron pattern.
Janelle also posted a very detailed schematic plan for the transformation. You can check it out here.

    That is brilliant. Wish I had thought of that when we installed our beadboard in our guest bathroom!

    How many of us are slapping our heads saying, "Now why didn't I think of that?!"
    It is a fab cost effective treatment. Ceilings maybe?

    Michele, that chevron pattern would be wicked on a ceiling. Also, love the denim looking grasscloth in deep blue. I think I'd put molding on ever strip.
