Wood accent wall with Woodgrain Millwork at Home Depot.

Accent Wall· Behr· Home Depot· Master Bedroom· Woodgrain

15 Jul

Wood accent walls hold a special place in my heart. For me it all started when we decided to try our hand at shiplap. I started in the pantry.

Kitchen Organization, Kitchen Pantry Closet
Kitchen Pantry Closet all finished and plenty of room! Notice nothing on the back of the door!

Expanded my shiplap skills it to the foyer.

Tackled the beast that was my home office.

Cabinet space, open shelving and a usable counter.

I love the subtle texture it brings to boring dry wall. Earlier this year I got the bright idea that I wanted to step up my wood accent wall game by adding a trellis pattern to my daughters room. The math was hard, the angles tricky, but man that wall was a looker.

**I was given product for this post, but the opinion is my own.**

Accent wall contest with Woodgrain.

Naturally when the opportunity came to throw my hat in the ring with the Woodgrain accent wall contest, I jumped all over it. My first thought was to finally address the fireplace, but my idea was vetoed. (Looking at you Courtney… love you mean it, but one day it will happen.) Mainly because the deadline was short and things are a little crazy right now, so tearing up the main part of the house was not appealing. I get it. 

Here’s where things took a turn because while I loved how my faux headboard turned out, I never felt truly connected to it. I love the idea of a faux headboard and I loved the subtle texture of my daughters wall and decided that would be the project.

The design process

I chose 6 1/2” base moulding from Woodgrain because I loved the thickness it was going to give to this design. After cutting a few scrap pieces, I cut the molding into 12” length with a 45 degree angle cut.

Thank goodness for this new sliding miter saw from Ryobi!

This design required two different directions to achieve this look. 

All my cuts ready to go.

To give the wall even more dimension, I staggered the boards so there would be a blank space between. We found the middle line of where we wanted the headboard to be on the wall and worked out from the center point.

Finding the center and lining up the boards.

There were four rows on either side of the middle line. After we finished the last row. I used 3 1/2 wide moulding to create a border on the sides.

It’s coming together!

Even though this is only a headboard, I felt that the design needed to go from ceiling to floor. If we ever decided to change the room around, the wall wouldn’t look funny. 

I love all the dimension this design gives the wall.

My most favorite and frequently asked painted color.

The one thing I did decide to keep was the wall color. It’s Riverway by Sherwin Williams, but I used Behr Marquee in eggshell for this project.

It gives me the best one coat coverage and because I didn’t pre paint the wood, and I wasn’t using a sprayer, I needed a paint that would make it a little easier on me. 

This wood accent wall is the stuff dreams are made of. .

All the feels…

Now that it’s done, I feel like this accent wall has always been there. 

I am in love with this change and so happy with how well it goes with our luxury vinyl plank flooring.

I am very thankful to have this opportunity to do this contest with Woodgrain and the Haven Conference I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new room. I’m also super thankful for Courtney who is always willing to jump in on my crazy ideas.

Happy DIYing!
Brooke

This week not only was spring break for my girls, This week not only was spring break for my girls, but also the anniversary of my mom’s passing. I repotted the plant I kept from her funeral and already it looks so much better. I’ve been trying to keep busy with spring cleaning, purging, and packing, but apparently life didn’t feel like that was enough. Last night we had a trip to the Emergency Vet after Jojo came in contact with weed killer, you can see her resting on our bed. Needless to say it’s a little slow and quiet today while she rests and we watch her.  Besides that and all that’s going on in the world, it’s so hard not to be in a giant funk. What’s your plans for the weekend?? I need to get some great ideas to turn this struggle bus into a party boat!
We started packing today, which means projects at We started packing today, which means projects at this house are coming to an end. Truth be told, this is the house where Cribbs Style was born. I’ll forever be grateful for all the lessons I learned in every project. Most of all, the confidence to learn and work all my power tools, which I owe to @ryobitoolsusa and @havenconference.  Nothing brings me more joy than answering questions or teaching another person about tools. They’ve been the gateway to my future. 💕

Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memor Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memories are a double edge sword. 10 years ago and 2 years ago this very week, both of my parents were handed a cancer diagnosis. My father lived for another 14 months, my mom only 3 weeks. Last year we had planned to be away for the one year anniversary of my moms passing, but instead a pandemic had other plans.  It’s all taken a toll on me mentally and physically. At times left me very unmotivated and completely distracted.  I’ve learned to give myself grace and each day is another opportunity to have a fresh start.  But y’all it’s hard. So if you see me dip in and out, that’s why. Most days my focus has just been on Court and the girls and that’s all I got. And that’s ok, but I also like to keep it real.  I know we all go through bad times, hard times, but I’m here to tell you you’re not alone and I see you. All the love. 💕

If I didn’t do this space myself I would argue this isn’t even the same place. 🍀
