DIY textures wall made of birch

Textured walls are a simple and very visible way of changing the look of your home. It’s like having a giant piece of art in your home. In fact, with such an imposing wall you don’t need decorations anymore. This particular project involves a very interesting look. It’s a birch wall that has also been equipped with hooks for bags and coats so it’s not only eye-catching but also functional and practical.

Let’s take a look at the materials needed for this elaborate project. You’ll need sanding block and sandpaper in medium or fine grade, birch discs or birch poles sliced into ¾ to 1 ½ inch disks and additional birch pieces for hooks, paintbrush, clear matte polyurethane, ¾ inch thick plywood panels, construction adhesive, drill, pliers, screw-in hanger bolts and 2 ½-inch wall screws. First start by lightly sanding one side of each disk and apply a single coat of polyurethane to the sanded side only. After it’s dry lay the plywood on a flat surface and arrange the disks, including the longer pieces for hooks, sanded side up, on the plywood.

The pieces that will be used as hooks will be added to the panel later. Secure the disks to the plywood panel using construction adhesive.Use a pencil to mark the placement of the hooks on the panel and predrill the panel at those marks. Drill through the corners and at each space on the long sides of the panel and then attach the panel to the wall. Apply the remaining disks to the panel to cover the screws and you’re done.{found on Martha Stewart}
