Guest BEDROOM Accent Wall & Update

Plans:

–          Add Accent wall

–          Paint 

– Decorate

Plan was to paint 3 walls snowbound and add an accent all behind the bed. She wanted a modern accent wall, I sent her some possibilities of patterns, sizes and she chose this inspo picture from @modernly_you’s home. We chose to do it the same accent color of the bathroom- SW Accessible Beige in satin.

Decided to do two long shelves (8 ft long) on the opposite wall for décor, storage, anything. We used three brackets per shelf (linked below and in amazon storefront)

Moodboard

Supplies—

1x2x8   x14 boards  (Accent wall- estimation-I bought 17- room was about 13ft wide) 

1x10x8  x2 boards (2 shelves)

1×10 brackets x6 shelf (amazon)

Measuring tape 

Brad nailer (with compressor—Craftsman) 

Dewalt Miter saw (yes it fit in my car!)

Paint- SW Showcase- Snowbound x2 galls, Accessible beige x1 gallon ( used all three gal for bathroom/ bedroom)

3 pack rollers (primer, white, beige) 

3 pack brushes 

 

 

I had already bought the paint for the bathroom, but needed some more pant supplies— new rollers and brushes are necessary for every project.

 

TIP–If I am doing a project a couple days in a row I will save the brushes and rollers in plastic bags, or tinfoil and then place in fridge. These two projects were 1 week apart so that didn’t work that well with travel etc.

 

Steps we took-

–          Mark studs on accent wall 

–          Then we drew the estimated diagonal lines, where the lines were on my drawing to get a feel for the spacing and measurements

–          Then cut the longest boards and started nailing them to wall. The long boards were all cut at 45 degree angle on the miter saw

–          We continued to cut them to match up roughly with my pencil marks on the wall

–          Only cuts were 45 and 90 degree with miter saw 

–          Then I primed and filled nail holes 

–          Caulked gaps 

–          Sanded wood filler 

–          Primed all walls 

–          Painted (2 coats snowbound on 3 walls and two coats accessible beige on accent wall)

 

Then! Decorated! The client bought all the décor, new bed, bedding, picture frames for gallery wall, printed the art & everything. I just used everything she wanted in the room to decorate and hang picture frames. Again, we have such similar styles it worked so well. I will link supplies and décor used in the room—in amazon storefront link in bio! (https://amzn.to/3R4nQbX)
