I have been looking to do something nice in my living room but everytime I look at things I get overwhelmed and sometimes get depressed. I think today is the day we're Spirit sent me to your channel on TH-cam the pick myself up and know I can go ahead and do a beautiful project Thank you for sharing this, I've got my inspiration and hopefully my mojo back. Your room is beautiful thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your video, enjoy your project very much, just did a couple things different, first I bought my wood already with the same width, and stained it all before it was cut, to me it was much easier this way, then it was just to cut to the necessary measure, nailing I didn't look for the studs, I simply use 1" 1/4 finished nails, and the trick was nail the boards position the nais in sideway 45°angle in opposite rows, that was much easy not to be worried to be always on the studs. Before that I tested a 24" board nailing to a piece of sheet rock and the result was very positive, I had a hard time to remove or separated the board out of the sheet rock, thankfully.
Perhaps the best video on TH-cam for wood accent walls..excellent colors on the wood and great eye for style..I will be doing this project for sure..thanks.
That looks great. I used old pallets and used the same width in a string along the wall so I could use different widths throughout. Thank you for sharing!
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Dominick Nehemiah thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Wow what an absolutely beautiful accent wall. I love how you used only 2 stain colors but blended them also to make custom colors... it made it look like you used a bunch of different stains. 2 thumbs up 😊👍👍
You could probably do a peel-n-stick laminate. You would just need a utility knife to make any necessary cuts. It would be more expensive, but may be something to think about. Good luck with woodworking, and thanks for checking out my video. :)
WOW, this the best I've seen in lots of hours watching youtube videos for wooden accent wall ideas. You nailed it....literally and creatively; very very nice!! Thank you for sharing......
I'm searching for a faux finish technique for the exposed beams in our living room. Love the use of the boards in yours! My husband chose to use bead board in our living area... now renovating dining area and kitchen... and finishing off the living room. We refinished the ceiling with a stipple effect today. NOW, to figure out how we want to "faux finish" the exposed beams. *G* Not fun for me I hate heights, anything over 2 foot is too much! *G* I'll look at more of your videos for ideas! THANKS!
Wow! You and your husband sound like my kind of people! I love experimenting with different techniques. Good luck with your project, and thanks for checking out my video!
OMG!!! The focal point wall came out ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! I wasn't too sure how it would look at first but it blew my mind at the end and it looks so super AWESOME! I would LOVE to do that to my wall!!☺👍👍👍👌👌👌
+Linda Nelson Thanks so much! I'm pretty thrilled with how it turned out myself. In fact, when we were done, we decided to do the same thing in a couple of arched niches in our hallway. It's definitely worth doing. I'd love to see before & after pictures, if you do!
Wall looks AWESOME! Loved that you used the two different stains to get that variation. You also have a great eye for decor! Well done Marcy.....and a you were ok too Tony! ;)
+StriveFor Selflessness Thanks! I've learned from trial & error that things don't have to "match," they just have to "go" together. Plus, change is good. Just not the hubby. He's a keeper!
Thanks for sharing this. When you began I didn't think I'd like the look, but you totally pulled it off. I am inspired to do something similar. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, Rebekka. I really like how it turned out, too. Hope whatever project you take on turns out well. Sometimes, we just have to take a leap of faith. :)
Love your home, the arch door way , those windows,oh my, that wall turned out beautiful, love the room, made a huge difference , love the colors you used, absolutely beautiful
Very nice work your wall looks great. I did a similar wall in our living room and used wood fence slats which are thicker but after watching your video and seeing you used Bender Board, I would certainly recommend that people use the Bender Board like you did. I like that the bender board is thin and if you have molding, the thinner the wood is the better so it doesnt protrude out past the crown and base board molding. Again, great job I will be doing another wall and will use Bender Board this time thanks for the video!
I absolutely love it! 👌 I too have moved away from the golds and creams to a fresher look, with pops of vibrant colour. I love these various shades and textures together which makes the room - also the fact that there are no longer any rules when it comes to colour co-ordination. Well done! from Wigan UK. ❤️
Awe, thank you! She's a sweetie, but she always has to be where ever I am. For the longest time, I would try to move her out of the shot, but I finally realized it's a losing battle! Thanks for checking out my video.
Hi Felipe. May God bless you and your family, as well. The bender board I used had very inconsistent coloring to begin with. But, using a paint brush, I would layer one stain over the other, then flip flop the order on different pieces. Sometimes, I just used one. Other times I'd put multiple layers of stain to make the color darker, or barely put any at all to make it lighter. I was experimenting with different combinations the whole time, and was so happy with how it all turned out in the end. Thanks for checking out my video.
Thanks so much! I'll have to pass the compliment along to my husband. He's my photographer and editor. Thanks for checking out our video and taking the time to comment. :)
Looks awesome. I know people say grey's are cooler or cold but to me the are just Cool! And cool to me says warm and come on in! My entire home is decorated around grey with pops of blacks and whites on one level. Pops of black and red on the second level and the top level is pops of turquoise and aqua. I do all my trim in bright white. I love your accent wall. Perfect. You did an excellent video. Good tips on the different width of the bender board. I learned that the hard way last year in my own similar project. Keep them coming! The videos I mean. Thanks for the time and effort.
Your house sounds beautiful! I used to have all warm colors in my home, and when I switched to grays, I couldn't replace my brown carpeting. But I think it still works. Either way, it's fun experimenting. Thanks for checking out my video, Debi!
Hey Marcy, I love what you did. My husband and I are doing that too. Our walls are 8.5 X 8.5 and I was wondering in order to cut the panels in 3 different lengths what would you suggest they be? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
It's really a matter of personal preference and how much work you want to do. The smaller the pieces, the more cutting and nailing. My wall is 10 x 12, so we cut 4', 2', and 1' pieces. Then we ended up cutting smaller custom pieces to fill in the odd areas. Hope this helps. Thanks for checking out my video.
I like the concept. My question is how complicated is to remove the dust from the wall knowing that it is rusty wood and you are using only Wood stain. thanks for the video
The wall looks great! I know this video is a year old but where did you get the bender boards? I live in New York and can only find the pvc type ones. Thank you!!
I found the bender boards at Lowe's. Home Depot carries them, as well. However, I don't know if it's a regional thing, because I've had a lot of people comment that they can't find them. Hopefully, you can find them in New York. Thanks for checking out my video, and good luck with your project.
Thanks for checking out my video. That's a good question. In this case, I didn't sand them, because the wood wasn't that rough. If I had a baby crawling around, who might rub up against the wall, I probably would have. It just depends on the individual project and if you're going for a particular look.
Thanks for checking out my video, Katy. I really couldn't tell you how it would look on your cedar ceiling or wall, but I would definitely encourage you to get a sample piece of cedar to just try it out on and see if you like it. The stains I used were called "Weathered Gray" and "Willow" by Rust-Oleum. Depending on how much of the gray I used, some of my pieces came out more like a blue-gray. I loved it, though. Worked for my project.
we are ready for us to do our project in the living room and so the orange is painted on the wall, the wood is cut, the tools are prepared. However what are the size of the brad nails. because we are like you and your family... fads change and our needs do too!! (i do realize that your video is a couple years old so I hope you check on comments)
Laura Matsuyama Because the bender board is so thin, we used 1” brad nails. It’s held up perfectly. Good luck with your project. Thanks for checking out my video. 😊
@@MuralsbyMarcyV Thank you for responding. I enjoyed your video. I now know that we can get started on our wall with more confidence after seeing your video. we did decide to paint the wall behind and space out the wood so that the the color comes through, we are also debating if we should but up lights but that maybe a little to much!! :) Aloha!
Looks great!!! I am unclear about how you got such a color variations with just two stains. Did you first stain all the wood, then add watered down paint for color variations? If you did, what paint colors did you use? There is too much blue and white to occur with just two wood stain colors. What did you do specifically? Sorry to be a pest but I want to do this too. Thanks so much!
Thanks for checking out my video Tanya! I did only use two stains; the gray and the white, but I applied them differently to each piece of wood. Because I used bender board, the pieces I bought came in varying shades to begin with. So, some I left pretty close to natural, while others I applied heavy stain. I did light layers of gray, then went back and streaked it with white stain, some I did two layers of gray stain and then added the white, some I did the complete opposite, I did some just gray, some just white, and I never cleaned my brush in between. I think that is the biggest trick. Don't clean your brush. Hope this helps. Good luck with your project!
The video opened it up and my eyes went directly to the dog. He just looked so relaxed and peaceful
That’s my girl, Miley. So long as she can be where I am, she’s happy. 🐶 Thanks for checking out my video.
I’ll be doing this today in my RV bathroom hallway with a sliding barn door.
Love it.
Thank you so much
Christopher Paul Wow! That sounds amazing. I’d love to see a picture of it when you’re done. Best of luck & thanks for checking out my video.
Nice work! My favorite thing is the lamp hanging from a bracket. That idea I'll use in my new cabin.
Ahhh I love the beagle!!!! I have one too. His name is Gunner and he HAS TO BE right beside me just like that!!! Love the wall it's awesome!!!
The wall the table, love, love, love. Inspiring.
Thanks so much for your kind words, and for checking out my video.
The wall came out fantastic coupled with the living room decor. Really lovely. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the wood wall idea i would do that in my new house that i just bought and the living rooms needs some love
Good luck on your project, Pasha Bhai, and thanks for checking out my video.

That's awesome. Sounds like your project turned out great. Congrats on that. Thanks for checking out my video and taking the time to comment.
Perfect, Well Done
Thank you, Jamil. Appreciate you taking the time to comment. :)
I like that... we did rustic knotty pine square edge with nail heads showing flush with the wood.
That sounds really cool. I love anything rustic. Thanks for checking out my video, Jon.
Perhaps the best video on TH-cam for wood accent walls..excellent colors on the wood and great eye for style..I will be doing this project for sure..thanks.
Wow! Thanks so much, Al. That's really encouraging.
That looks great. I used old pallets and used the same width in a string along the wall so I could use different widths throughout. Thank you for sharing!

beagle: "okaayy thatsss itt guys.. make sure its straight... okay okayy.". hehe so cute!
Thanks very beautiful!!
Thank YOU for taking the time to comment. :)
This looks great. Looking at doing the same for our bedroom wall. Can't wait to tackle this project. :)
Hope it turns out great! Thanks for checking out my video!
Wow what an absolutely beautiful accent wall. I love how you used only 2 stain colors but blended them also to make custom colors... it made it look like you used a bunch of different stains. 2 thumbs up 😊👍👍
Thanks so much for checking out my video, and for the nice compliment. I really hope you can find bender board in Florida, eventually. :)
Love this look. Sure wish you could come to my house! Have no way to cut a 2x4 in this manner. New to woodworking and just don't have the tools!
You could probably do a peel-n-stick laminate. You would just need a utility knife to make any necessary cuts. It would be more expensive, but may be something to think about. Good luck with woodworking, and thanks for checking out my video. :)
Your table is TO DIE FOR-OMGGGG!
That old trunk was a thrift store find. I just painted it, added legs, and a glass top. I really love it. Thanks for checking out my video, Brenda!
Such a cute beagle
Thanks! She's my baby. :)
You did an amazing job of decorating ! Love the colors, so happy to see a room not all white and no personal touches. You did you! Love it
Thanks for checking out my video, Gina. I appreciate the positive feedback.
Very nice. I wouldn’t have thought of using the bender board. Thanks for sharing.
Love your new wall it looks great !! :) Thanks for sharing ..

I agree, great job. I am also not a fan of all the trinkets. Not sure about the colors either, but great wall!
One of the best tutorials 👌
Nice job i gonna share with friends
