  • Elevate a wall in your home with a modern geometric matte black feature wall that we wish was In our home.
    In this video we build a feature wall-aka, accent wall. In it we touch on:
    -Tips for removing and hanging a door
    -Integrating a door with a feature wall
    -Removing door casing and baseboard
    -Color and coating selection
    -Tools. A brad nailer is your friend on a feature wall.
    -Coating-aka, paint-application
    -Using Acre by Modern-Mill composite 1-by instead of wood
    -Spray painting the cold air return grill and swapping out device covers
    Stuff We Left Out
    Theresa and I at borderline DefCon 1 trying to understand each other during layout. I kept thinking I was understanding what she was saying. I kept being wrong. She could see it in her head. I need to see things in real life, so I made a jig that enabled us to mark the centers of the double Xs and keep them evenly spaced
    The double strut design here is difficult to wrap your head around. The goal is to make each panel-each double X-the same as each other
    More On Materials
    We used Acre for a constellation of reasons, among them: Uber stability and ease of milling. Acre is also versatile, so we used it as various forms of trim. You’d be surprised what you can whip up with a table saw and a router with a cove bit
    Because we milled each piece of accent wall trim on the table saw from 1x12 stock, we had saw marks to sand out. While Acre is more expensive than finger joint primed pine, its ease of sanding alone made it worth the price point. Add to that it takes paint wonderfully and it can be fastened with nails, staples or screws. We also like that, unlike some finger joint primed pine, Acre is made in the US of A and from over 50% upcycled rice husks. It works like wood
    Feature walls are extravagant-ish. We used a Sherwin Willaims exterior paint I’ve used on doors before that is technically “flat” but also has a slight film that makes it easy to clean to deliver a matte finish. Color: Sherwin-Williams Tri-Corn Black
    Details and How-To Tips
    If you’re making your own feature wall, here are some tools and ideas to consider.
    -Be ruthless with layout. Check, double check and double check again a different way that whatever design you have is going to radiate out from whatever control points you have selected. In the feature walls we’ve made-and they are fun-everything kind of emanates from a single source, whether that’s a single board or a point in space
    -No wall is perfectly flat. There may be some shimming or sanding required when all is said and done. Some voids don’t require an actual shim. Here’s a nailing trick to get piece flush without shims.
    -A brad nailer is our go to for this kind of installation. Finish nailers work, but the nail is pretty big.
    -Plan on three coats of paint for bold colors. If you are cutting different colors into each other, use high quality paint brushes.
