DIY Double Batten Accent Wall

April 26, 2022 By Chelsea Lipford Wolf 3 Comments

Enhance a short fireplace or short walls by creating a vertical accent wall treatment that tricks the eye and makes your space feel larger.

Tone on Tone Board and Batten Wall Treatment

I love a good accent wall. You can paint ’em, nail ’em or wallpaper ’em. But they always add a special touch to any room!

Here’s a simple wood accent wall I created in my son’s room not too long ago. And the wall I wallpapered in our living room. I still love this earthy green accent wall in our old bedroom too!😍

So when we first saw Faith and Roberto’s living room for a Today’s Homeowner project, I knew it needed a good accent!

Happy 3rd birthday🎈to the biggest mama’s girl Happy 3rd birthday🎈to the biggest mama’s girl I’ve ever known! She weighs as much as her big siblings but still likes Mommy to hold her.😜 She’s got plenty of sass and insists on doing everything herself. Which is why she normally has hair in her face and a tornado of chaos all around her. Pretty much our life since she came into it. But the best kind of chaos that grows and stretches you and teaches you to slow down and accept them just the way they are.☺️

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years!🥺

FINALLY painted this eyesore of a wall and finishe FINALLY painted this eyesore of a wall and finished just before dark last night!🙌🏻 My husband and I decided instead of starting a new project (ahem a baby nursery) we should finish the projects we’ve already started. Since baby is due in the summer, it will be so nice to have our backyard up to par so we can rest and relax out there during recovery. ☺️
.
.
We started this project back in October by stripping and scraping the many layers of paint so we could waterproof the bricks and paint the wall to match the house. But the house was painted exactly a year ago. So it was way past time to knock this huge item of the time-do list. And it feels like such a relief to not have to walk by the unfinished-ness every time we come home now!
.
.
Next up we’ll slowly tackle patching hardwood floors and finish painting and replacing our interior doors that are taking up room in our garage.👏🏻

What’s something you’ve knocked off your to-do list lately?!
Happy Sunday! Love these little Easter babies of m Happy Sunday! Love these little Easter babies of mine! And definitely loving this beautiful spring weather we’ve been having lately!☀️Don’t forget Sunday is a day of rest and to give yourself some time to relax today.💆🏼‍♀️
