Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines [1] may have started the shiplap wall craze, but it's design bloggers who are making it affordable, like Jenny of Little Green Notebook [2]. She recently gave her daughter's bathroom a dramatic makeover that will leave any modern-farmhouse-lover swooning. And the best part of the room isn't the charming shiplap on the walls — it's how little Jenny paid for it: $2.57 per board, which makes the entire room well under $100, inclusive of all materials.

How did she do it? The genius design blogger discovered a shiplap look-alike at Home Depot that's actually thinner and more pliable than the real thing, making it perfect for layering over existing wall surfaces. "Because it is such a thin product you can lay it right over the existing drywall and butt it up against your tile and door and widow casings the same way I did here," Jenny wrote in her blog post [3]. So what is this cheap shiplap alternative called? Visit Little Green Notebook to find out [4]. Your walls will be happy you did.
