Welcome to today’s edition of Feature Wall Friday! Today we are going to try to clean out your garage and turn it into a statement.

One of the first DIY feature walls I ever came across that truly blew me away was one by Jason Hammond on his blog From the Ground Up. In an effort to mimmic popular modern composite wall panels, Jason and his wife decided to use left over MDF scraps from other projects to create a feature wall in a small bathroom. After they applied some paint that they had on hand, the result was spectacular.

I’ve priced similar modular walls after seeing a really great one in Las Vegas, and the prices are quite high. It was so much that I just kind of laughed and moved on.

There’s few things I like better than cracking open a brand new can of paint. The anticipation, the smell, the promise. I’m excited for a room redo just thinking about it!

But last year, I was thrown into something that I think I like just as much as paint – being in front of a video camera. Never in a million years did I ever think that would be something that I enjoyed. A camera crew came to my home to shoot a few promotional videos for Glidden, and I was on a high for months on end.

Well, y’all. Back in June I had the opportunity to do it all again. Move over, Oprah.

I went out to Boston to shoot a series of short “Show Me How” videos for Glidden. The videos feature paint tips and tricks, from cutting in without using painters tape to the proper clean up of your tools. First, let me just say that Boston was Ah-Maz-Ing. It was my first time to go up there, and I can’t wait to go back when I have more time to explore.
