What material did you use on the walls in this room? Is it painted or stained? Thanks.

Laura, we're glad you like it! The walls are what we refer to a vertical butt board, essentially wood boards butted together. We use this on many of our projects in lieu of dry wall to achieve an old look. The boards are painted Elephant Tusk double strength (adjusted due to wood walls). I believe that is a Benjamin Moore color.
