#17: The Latest (And Largest Ever!) Home Renovation
Lively fact: 17 is a prime number! You know what else is lively? The show notes for Episode #17 of Turbodizin Has A Podcast, which you’ve officially found. On this week’s episode we are excited to chat about a LARGE project at home that we have been working on (we are spilling the beans about it here first!). We also assist a listener who is looking for fast & low-cost ways to fill her empty walls – including some of our go-to sources and straightforward tricks for affordable art. Plus we share a tech upgrade that is allowing us to be lazier in the bedroom, gear up for a well-hydrated October, and mull over the 2017 paint Paint of the Year.
You can download this episode from iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and TuneIn Radio – or listen to it below! Then use this page to check out any links, notes, or photos that we referenced.
What is New
- It is happening! Remember back on move-in day when our kitchen looked like this….
- Well, we did some updating over the years, but we can at last shout from the rooftops “ding, dong, the fake brick laminate flooring is gone!” And we figured that anyone who comes to this page deserves a bone in the form of a sneak peek at some of the destruction. So whoop, there it is:
What is Not
- Here is Sherwin-William’s announcement of their 2017 Paint of the Year announcement, Poised Taupe (say that three times fast).
- And here are some of the other Paints of the Year that we mentioned: Vintage Wine, Coral Reef, Aloe, Lemon Sorbet, and Breath of Fresh Air.
Listener Question
- You can consistently find some of our go-to affordable art projects in our journal’s art archives, as well as in our first book (check out Chapter 6, called “Hang”)
- And here are some of the specific projects we mentioned:
- Using a calendar for art
- “Wallpapering” a wall with frames
- How to hang a gallery wall: using a large paper template, in a grid, using small paper placeholders, or simply winging it
- Some especially affordable, but large office art
- An straightforward, large Hands-on painting
- Affordable post-card shelves
- If you are curious about some of the affordable art (or other wall fillers) that we are liking lately – here is a swift assortment (many of which are under $40): 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6
We are Digging
- The photo above shows the nightstands we referenced with the “touch strip” (aka: snap bracelet) on the back. You can find them here on Joss & Main or here on Wayfair (sometimes the Joss & Main links expire, so we included both).
- And here is the touch kit from Amazon that promises to allow you to retrofit any of your lights. Tag us on Twitter or Instagram if you’ve tried it!
- Last but not least, if you want to join me for Aquatober – here is the full story behind it, and my stellar graphic below.
Psst- Looking for something we have dug in a past episode, but do not remember which show notes to click into? Well, here is a master list of everything we have been digging from all past episodes.
