We have added poplar siding to the entire area of loft and south wall. We chose a 1x8 size board. It took about 10 days for Joel's crew to apply the boards to the area. After each board was sanded, they were cut and applied in a random pattern, with tiny gaps between them. Each skylight and window was also trimmed with the poplar. The next step will be to fill the nail holes. Then, everything will be painted an off white color by Benjamin Moore called Cotton Balls. Even with the paint, you will still see the outline of each board. While it was a lot of work, the poplar gives the space more warmth and a great texture, evoking the feeling of a barn or cabin.
