  • I get asked about this green piece in my pictures a lot. The color is La Fonda Plaza Green by Valspar. I drew a picture of what I wanted the piece to look like, with measurements, and gave it to my contractor and he built it just the way I imagined. I told him I wanted it to look old, so he distressed the drawer edges a touch and put a bit of dark stain on top of the paint. I purchased the hardware on a website called Historic Houseparts. The top is pine stained dark walnut. If you have any other questions, let me know! Happy Thursday!

  • My tastes are changing. I find myself loving wallpaper, antique brass and a little mix of mid modern. I don’t even know who I am anymore 😂. • I’m getting ready to design a kitchen and I’m finding myself wanting to do black cabinets with antique brass bin pulls. Would you all revolt against me? I painted all of our honey oak cabinets black in our second fixer upper and I loved it. What do you all think of the mixture of black and brass? • Okay—back to the picture. I don’t know how I got sidetracked there. I guess because I think this black shiplap and bronze light are absolutely stunning together. Especially mixed with a pop of white. Everything works well together in this picture. This room is from @houseupnorthmqt and I think it’s just beautiful, peaceful, calming...all nice things.
  • When I put my little girl’s bedroom makeover in my stories, a lot of you asked about or commented on the wallpaper. • It’s actually just gold paint stenciled on a white painted wall. • I used my silhouette machine to cut the stencils from mylar sheets. • Someone asked for tips or pointers on this project, and at first I said to just have patience and avoid perfection, but then I thought of a tip. I brushed on the paint with a stencil brush first, and because it would go on so streaky and terrible, I would then rub the paint around with a damp cloth until it all looked smooth and even. • This one wall took me 12 hours, so it was not a quick project by any stretch of the imagination. • Oh! And thank you to all of you for your sweet words and affirmation of this makeover! I can’t believe how many of you endured my painful speaking voice on the video. I could barely listen to myself! Like I said, I am NOT made for tv!! 😂
