Out With the Old... In With the... Old?


Who wouldn't want tips on how to paint furniture?? It’s a quick, inexpensive way to give old pieces a dramatic new look, which can transform an entire room!!
Designer Tyler Wisler says, “Painting is always the easiest and quickest way to give any outdated piece of furniture an instant makeover, but the key to all of it, regardless of the color choice, is to prep. Prep, prep, prep those pieces correctly! Just grabbing a can of paint and having at it will inevitably end in cracked and peeling paint in no time. A good once over with a fine grit sandpaper, then a thorough wipe down with a damp cloth to get rid of any dust particles, is the simplest way to get the paint to stick to the piece and will last so much longer!”

If you want to give it a try, follow these “8 Simple Steps on How to Paint Furniture.”
After you’ve done the prep work, get creative!
The October/November 2012 issue of HGTV Magazine featured DIY projects using inexpensive mini sample jars of paint. How EASY! Who doesn't love easy?? Plus, get the popular "ombre" look!

{DIY} Lavender Linen Spray


Studies have shown that the aroma of lavender is a prime resource for relaxation and stress relief. Even the Romans had a thing for using lavender to scent clothing. (There’s a fascinating history of lavender here.) After a stressful day at the office a few drops of lavender in a tub or shower can be the ultimate stress relief! Having trouble sleeping? A few spritz of lavender linen spray will give you the ultimate sense of relaxation for a great nights sleep!  Fancy linen spray can be pricey, but if you’re looking for a way to fall asleep at night or just infuse your linen closet with a bit of spring, this super simple project is for you! 


By simply mixing lavender essential oil with water and witch hazel, you have created the perfect linen spray! And while I’ve recommended distilled water below, you’d be okay to use regular water. (The distilled water, theoretically, will keep your mixture from looking cloudy and keep the sprayer from getting clogged.)

Materials
  • 8–10 drops lavender essential oil
  • 2 tsp witch hazel
  • 1 cup distilled water (not pictured)
  • small spray bottle

Directions
Simply mix everything together. Pour into a small spray bottle. Spritz away!
Label Materials

To make labels that look like ours, simply cut a rectangle out of the contact paper and then cut the corners off.

Give Me Texture!


Have you ever been interested in adding some texture to your drab walls? Doing this is super easy and super appealing!

One of the easiest techniques is by applying a thin coat of drywall. You can then create different designs and shapes using a notched trowel. This is also fairly inexpensive!
If you don't have a notched trowel or you're looking for an even more inexpensive option. You could always use a sponge instead!
You could even use a paint roller with thinned-out drywall to create a fun an interesting look. You can keep it simple with a regular paint roller or be bold with a textured one!

Color Splash!

Color Splash!
Trying to choose a color for your remodel?
We always recommend to go with a neutral for the wall and big items, such as furniture.  Once you've established a color theme, feel free to play with your accent color.  It's always fun to be bold when choosing accents.  There is no need to be scared! Accent's are easy to be traded out and usually inexpensive.  We always like to follow the interior designers rule of thumb, 60 30 10! 60% is your main color, 30 % is contrast, and 10% accent.  

A good example of this would be, accent pillows and wall hangings in a living room. Towels and vanity decor in a bath, and table centerpieces and window valences in a kitchen. Don't be afraid to choose a bold accenting color such a purple that looks good with any color scheme and usually isn't too trendy! 
​I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for
