Mixing textures can be a tough balance. How do you think we did?!

What happens here

Once the stone veneer base is complete, the worker transitions to the upper section of the wall. Using a small step stool or platform, vertical wood slats are installed. This process involves precise measurement of each slat to fit the height of the upper wall section. The slats are then cut to size, likely with a miter saw or chop saw, and applied to the wall. The video implies the use of adhesive, possibly combined with small fasteners like finish nails or brads, to secure each slat vertically. The worker carefully aligns each slat, ensuring consistent spacing and a straight, uniform appearance across the entire upper wall section. The installation continues until the entire upper portion of the wall is covered with the wooden slats, creating a distinct and modern two-tone, two-texture wall feature.

Goal: After completing the stone veneer, install vertical wood slat panels on the upper section of the wall to create a contrasting texture.
