I feel like all we’ve heard about the last 2 years on design TV is shiplap, shiplap, shiplap! Thanks to Chip and Jo on HGTV’s Fixer Upper the 6-inch-wide horizontal wood planking has become a popular design feature for a light, yet rustic farmhouse look. But what about a twist on this traditional shiplap look? I was flipping through the LL Bean Home Summer 2017 Catalog and while I’m not a huge fan of their very country looking furniture, I was taken by a few shots with a natural ashy wood colored shiplap. Even styled with their basic furniture this version of shiplap lended a modern styling to the overall look. So, I went on a search for some other versions of shiplap than the basic white and found a few great looks that I wanted to share. Turns out shiplap looks great in natural wood, a rainbow of colors, and even in black!
