Let’s talk about vanity. Specifically, the sink vanity I left primed in a previous post. We spent forever sampling about fifty swatches and finally picked a bright kelly green we thought would be fun—a pop of color in an otherwise white bathroom. We bought a quart of Benjamin Moore Baby Fern in their semi-gloss Natura … Read more

I assumed I could make it through adulthood without this resurfacing 13 years later, but the internet is vast and people remember. After more than a few “Who me? I don’t know what you’re talking about, haha” denials, I’m coming clean. … Read more

When Melissa sent dramatic before-and-after photos, we had to share them. It’s incredible what a can of primer and paint can do. Here’s her note: Could these living room colors have been any darker and more dated? After primer, three coats of paint and some precarious ladder work, the dark, dreary look was gone.

When we found these small metal cups at Goodwill for $1.50 each (you might have seen them in our recent Halloween post) we decided they were perfect for a quick spray-paint refresh. We liked the little cut-out shape and already had yellow and white spray paint on hand from previous projects, so we jumped right … Read more

When Carol emailed us about her budget-friendly bathroom update, we were eager to share the simple, effective changes she made to transform her guest bath with yellow fixtures into a fresh, neutral space. Here is her note: I love your website and your design boards. The links to quality, affordable furnishings and accessories at stores … Read more
