Clinton & Kerry: CK Wall Designs LLC

“One of our favorite past times was going to the model homes and looking at model homes.

And look at the core and the accent walls that they have there. And we would, sometimes ask, where could we find someone to do something like this in our house? But we met with the same answer. It’s custom. But custom companies are usually expensive.

So, we couldn’t find anyone to do it. And one day she just asked me, she went on Pinterest and found something. Asked me to do it because I have an artist background, but no woodworking background. So, I just took it on, got it done, and got it looking even better than the one that she showed me with just hand tools. I didn’t even have power tools at the time. So, I used the hacksaw actually.”

Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Clinton & Kerry, founders of CK Wall Designs LLC.

Going to model homes to check out the accent walls was one of Clinton and Kerry’s favorite past times. And occasionally, they would inquire where they might find someone to carry out such tasks in their home. However, they received the same response, “It’s custom.” But customized businesses are frequently pricey. And one day, Kerry searched Pinterest for a project, found something, and asked Clinton to complete it because he had experience as an artist (but not as a woodworker). Clinton just took on the task, finished it, and improved upon the one Kerry had shown him using only hand tools. Clinton used a hacksaw because he lacked power tools at the time.

In this episode, Clinton and Kerry share how they spread the word from the start, how they built the brand that elevated the art of accent walls that clients are flying them to different locations to complete a project, and the biggest hurdle they faced in running their business.

“I had to write down everything that we knew so that we could decide how much of a value would someone want to learn.

What did you want them to leave with? And so, we were able to do that. Then he said, “Okay.” I think I can do it. And that’s workshop came about.”

Accent Walls Is Not Just Simply Putting Wood and Wall

Accent walls may add a unique visual flair to any space. They bring interest to a living area when used in the proper color, material, and style.

An accent wall in the living room may quickly give an otherwise plain room dimension, color, texture, and a focal point. You can construct an accent wall in various ways with your creativity, from a specific contrast color to a textured mural, wallpapers, tiles, and wood.

According to Clinton and Kerry, the most significant issue is persuading people that what they do is more complicated than simply building walls and wood. A lot goes with it, mainly because their method differs greatly from many accent wall designers. The procedure they perform often requires at least two days. Rarely have they completed a wall in one day.

“The biggest challenge is trying to get people to understand that what we do is not just simply putting wood and wall.

A lot goes with it because of our process, we would like to think that our process is much different from a lot of the accent wall designers out there. Because the process that we do usually takes a minimum of two days. We have rarely done one wall in one day.”
