Part creative studio, part rage room, Splattitude in Sneads Ferry offers an indoor space for full self-expression.
After a long, stressful day, have you ever thought it would feel good to just throw something against the wall to get out a bit of tension and rage?
Now you can — safely and without scaring your family or messing up your home.
Tucked along Highway 210 on the way to the beach, Splattitude gives the Sneads Ferry community a place get a little messy, get creative and let off some steam along the way.
Chelsi Oliver and her fiancé, Daniel Brown, opened the business at the end of August 2025. They had tried similar experiences while traveling and realized Sneads Ferry had plenty of great restaurants and outdoor attractions, but not as much in the way of indoor activities.
Brown was born and raised in Sneads Ferry, while Oliver lived her childhood in Leland before moving away and returning, noting that her best childhood memories happened in Leland.
The idea started as a leap of faith. Both Oliver and Brown work full-time jobs, but they share an entrepreneurial spirit and a love for hands-on projects.
“We wanted to bring something different,” Oliver says. “We asked ourselves, ‘What would fit our community and our family?’ and ended up coming up with this. We wanted to make a space for everyone to come together with something that anyone can do.”
At Splattitude, guests can choose between two different experiences: the Splatter Room, filled with blank canvases and paint bottles, and the Rage Room, full of plates and pottery ready to be destroyed.
In the Splatter Room, visitors suit up and fling paint across the walls, at a canvas and even at each other. The canvas can be taken home after as a token of the fun.
The Rage Room is a controlled space to smash old dishes, ceramics and even large appliances — anything unused and ready to be revamped as a punching bag for stress relief. The objects used in the rage room are largely sourced from local thrift stores or donations, items that might otherwise go unused or unsold.
The two concepts were meant to go hand in hand. A room to explore expressiveness through art, paired with a space to destroy it — truly quite the expressive journey.
“You have this space to create something beautiful, and then this space to release something heavy,” Oliver says. “It’s balanced.”
Beyond adults looking for a unique night out, Splattitude has quickly become a favorite among families. The studio offers Toddler Thursdays, an idea inspired by the couple’s one-year-old daughter, Amelia, who likes to help out at the shop.
For Toddler Thursdays, Oliver sets out tables and chairs, giving moms and little ones a chance to explore painting and art. Parents get to socialize while their children play in a safe way right nearby.
While Splattitude offers private spaces for birthday parties, Oliver and Brown are already planning to expand their offerings with anything that gets people connecting face-to-face, from gender reveals to team-building events.
“We’re focusing on community, friends, family,” Oliver says. “It brings a space to come together.”
Sneads Ferry is a growing coastal community that balances bustling beach tourism with a quieter local life. Splattitude offers a refreshing in-between of the two: a space to play, process and reconnect.
“A lot of creativity comes out, and memories are made,” Oliver says. “It’s outside the box, it draws people out of their comfort zone to make those silly memories together.”
Sometimes, the best kind of therapy is messy. From throwing paint to have some fun to breaking glass to tone down tension, Splattitude is a space to embrace imperfection and release the heaviness surrounding it.
