Empowering you to create all things beautiful ™
Hi guys hope you had a good weekend! The weather in Texas was gorgeous!! I was able to finally snap some pictures of our new master bathroom, and the coral painted vanity! I just love it!! The pop of color in there is so fun, and not overwhelming since I went neutral with the grey paint on the walls. Now come say hello to Coral Beauty.
I’m slowly but surely getting rid of the beige walls that are everywhere in our home, and I’ve pretty much succeeded in several of the rooms! I guess the only beige rooms left now are the bathrooms, and the upstairs hallway/catwalk. I haven’t done anything to our bathrooms until recently, and I finally painted ours!
Yes you read that right. Let me tell you one more time in case you missed it…but I redid our bedroom again!! This makes #4 I think? There wasn’t anything wrong with the old room, but it was just lacking. Lacking life, lacking coziness, and lacking personality. I like the word lack today apparently. But once we got in the new upholstered bed, everything was just grey. Grey I love, but the grey walls, grey bed and grey curtains were just too much together. So now, here is a room I love. Our new navy and coral bedroom!
It’s true. I keep secrets from you. Every blogger does it just goes with the territory. ;) BUT, they are good secrets! Like top secret projects you will be blown away by. You all will think I am crazy when you find out what I did, but it’s good. And until then, ponder over this image for a while…
Ok guys, first of all I need to thank you all SO much for all of the love on the kitchen makeover post. I truly appreciate each and every one of you who have commented, shared, and emailed me! I just love it so much. :) And I have already had several of you ask me about the paint on our cabinets, like how my painter got this amazing finish on our very heavily grained oak cabinets. I am going to do my best to share his professional secrets with you all today!
Well today’s the day! Finally. We have our dreamy new white kitchen and I couldn’t be more ecstatic about it. I guess it’s been about 4 years now that I’ve wanted to do this, so to be able to write to you all that it’s really done, just blows me away. Fair warning though, this post will be picture heavy but it deserves it. And here it is.
Hey everyone, hope you had a great weekend! I was able to finish up some painting and snap some shots of the laundry room finally, and am so excited to show you the room now! It’s come a long way that’s for sure. :) And now, here’s the new orange and aqua laundry room! I [...]
Yes it’s true. Our master bedroom has undergone a few changes yet again. When I started using the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint toward the end of last year, I couldn’t stop. And I ended up painting all of our furniture in our bedroom white. And then I decided to go pink and grey with the [...]

Our home office hasn’t changed much at all since we converted the dining room almost a year ago (except for the new flooring). And being the crazy person that I am (because a year is entirely too long without changes), I was itching for just a few subtle updates. And now enters our sweet new [...]

Hi everyone! I started the breakfast room redo a few months ago (maybe more), and finally just finished it. Hooray for several month long projects! ;) Here is the before, of when I redid it the last time… I got tired of the Tobacco Road and repainted the kitchen (Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige) to go [...]
Well, not for us so don’t get too excited, although I’d happily take this house in a heartbeat. This is my Mom and Stepdad’s new house. Isn’t it beautiful? They just moved in last Friday. I’ll give you a little tour of the inside. The entryway: And it used to look like this when they [...]
Well our gallery wall and board and batten is done. And….we love it!! Let’s first take a look at the before picture of this wall in our living room before I show you the rest. You know, the one where the picture is hung too high? :) Well since this is a big 2-story wall, [...]
It’s time to show how the entry way looks now after the new paint and with everything back up on the walls, so come on in! All of the accessories are pretty much the same, but the only new addition is that round mirror hanging on that little wall above. It’s my new favorite thing. [...]
Well the home tour continues today with the new living room! It really feels like a new room. Actually the house feels like a new house again, and now finally, a home. I think we all strive to make our homes a welcoming retreat and a place to relax comfortably at the end of the [...]
OH.EM.GEEEEEE!!! Y’all aren’t going to believe how the house looks now! I think I am still chanting that the house has finally been painted. And if you are totally confused right now about why I am so excited about paint, you can catch up here and here. If you have been with me on the [...]
When I started doing my stepson’s room, I knew what color I wanted in my head. I didn’t want the standard boy blue, thought about doing navy, but then decided a dark teal would be pretty. And by the way, my stepson gave me free reign in his room as far as the paint color [...]
Thanks for all of the love on my stepson’s new paneled wall! We just love it, and so does he! Ok, now on to the tutorial. I have to give a special thanks to Rambling Renovators first and foremost for the inspiration behind this project. If you haven’t checked out their paneled wall yet, you [...]
I’ve been soooo excited to share this project with you all! It was SO easy, a quick project, and only $20 bucks! I love easy beadboard ideas, so let me introduce you to our new beadboard bar! I have been wanting to put up beadboard under our kitchen bar for quite a while. Originally I [...]
*Insert big sigh while humming along to that little diddy* I started second guessing my decision on the Balanced Beige once I painted some bigger swatches of it. It wasn’t looking as warm as I’d like, and on some walls there was a faint blue tint when the sun would shine on it. I loved [...]
Y’all may have noticed from some recent makeovers that I have been trying to slowly weed out my traditional red and gold decor, and have been adding some modern touches, yes? I still do love the colors and have decorated with them ever since I moved out and got my first apartment. But, I’m ready [...]
I’m beyond excited to show you our new master bedroom…again! I explained in this post why I decided to change it up again. But the biggest change in here was just paint. Paint is your friend, and a cheap friend. When I redid our master bedroom back in June last year, I did love that [...]
I mentioned to you all that my Mom got us a new duvet for Christmas. It was the one I have been dreaming of for several months now…the Organic Cotton Pintuck Duvet from West Elm. It looked so luxurious online, and it’s just as luxurious in real life. And since that was a night shot, [...]
*Update–the office now has wood floors!* Dining rooms are so overrated right? :) Since I had been wanting to redo the dining room for quite some time now, the hubby and I decided to turn it into an office. Because in all honesty, the formal dining room was used as an actual dining room maybe [...]
I know this is a decorating blog, but this is a special post and calls for celebration. So I hope you will celebrate with me! My brother-in-law Greg just opened his own chiropractic office, Green Chiropractic. His office is located in Houston, TX (at 43rd and Ella to be exact), and yesterday was the grand [...]
It’s a very tricky color. I could end this post with just that line and that would give you enough information. But, I won’t do that to you and will tell you another little paint journey I just had. Maybe I should rename this post “when bad things happen to good people.” Because I am [...]
I’ve received a lot of emails asking for the Tobacco Road formula I used here and here, so I thought I’d post it for everyone to see. :) I don’t know if it’s a perfect match to Nester’s formula, but I think it’s pretty close. I tried having it matched at Lowe’s several different times [...]
To satisfy my love of all kinds of different styles and colors, I decided to do board and batten on the one big wall in our upstairs multipurpose room. :) The upstairs will have a different vibe than the downstairs, and I think that’s so fun! Probably a design rule no-no, but I don’t follow [...]
*UPDATE* – This room has been redone again, so click here for the latest redo. :) Well our room is just about finished so I’m going to show it now. :) I know you probably want to see pictures first, but let me just talk a little bit…or a lot. This will be a long [...]
I love molding (moulding?). I want it everywhere in our house. Why don’t builders make it a standard feature instead of an upgrade? I think the housing market would be much better if so. :) I first added it to a big entry wall which also adjoins the family room. Here is the wall before, [...]
