Color Block Accent Wall
When we bought our current house we had no idea what a deal we got. Not only did we get a great house, it came with a culdesac of exceptional neighbors. Neighbors that let us borrow their flashlights before we had moved in because the electricity in the kitchen wasn’t working but our fridge was being delivered at 6 pm. Neighbors that taught Matt how to properly cut the perfect mitered corners of crown moudling. Neighbors that bring us fresh bread on Christmas Eve. Neighbors that treat our girls like they are family. When Orchard Supply Hardware asked if I wanted to do a project that celebrated neighbors helping neighbors, I couldn’t pass it up because I’ve learned that being a good neighbor makes a world of difference.

The Before
After talking with Genevieve from SOS, I learned that they wanted the space to been calm and serene. They had already chosen a color for the other three walls so I wanted to keep the accent wall simple by doing a color block paint treatment with a fun set of shelves for plants.
For the shelves, I picked up two three foot pine boards from Orchard, stained them with Minwax natural stain and hung them with brackets. To give the shelves a little more visual height we added some rope to give the illusion that they were hanging.
We picked up some succulents from the garden center and potted them in some plastic planters that I had spray painted in fun colors.
Lastly, I thought it might be fun to have a little spot to hang the children’s art so we ran a piece of rope across the length of the wall and used clothes pins to hang some of the children’s art.
This Good Neighbor Project is just one example of neighbors helping neighbors!

Such an amazing project Chelsea! I love how it turned out! And I agree. You never realize how amazing neighbors can be until you truly have ones that you wouldn’t want to live without!
Hi Chelsea!
