NOW Trending: My Top 10 Go-to White Paint Colors
Well, I did it. I finally had the guts to paint my beautiful white French doors black. Sometimes it’s the smallest risks that yields the greatest reward. Although it took me a while to actually…
Hi there friends! You have been asking for a while and today I am sharing the details on how we (Robert + I) designed and built a DIY custom wall unit for the BHG makeover. If you aren’t familiar, I teamed up with Rebuilding Together to give a deserving homeowner (Karen) a FULL room makeover with a feature in the Oct 2017 issue of BHG. This built-in was a true labor of love for my PIC (partner in crime). I remember showing up to his house over a year ago on a cold, fall day with this sketch up of the custom built-in I had in mind. It was a shameful rendering but he got it, right away. I knew then that we would make a great team (and we did). Not one time did Robert say no, I don’t thing so or can’t be done. And let me tell you, we hit a lot of snags and set backs. You can tell by the in progress shots below how we poured our heart and soul into this project. The biggest thank you to Lowe’s!!! For which without their contribution to this project, it would have never happened!
Hi there friends!! Christmas decorating is in full swing over here and I have lots of fun and easy ideas to share. Currently I am working on my family room and tree, which I decided to go with a Norwegian vibe highlighting blues, organic elements, light wood tones and tons of texture. Every year I try to create a tree that reflects my colors and theme while keeping it family friendly.
Hi there friends! Today is my birthday and what better way to celebrate than to share my 3 rug designs for the Annie Selke Rug Challenge!! In case you are not familiar, Annie Selke is the founder/designer of Pine Cone Hill and Dash & Albert. A few months ago they asked me to join in on a Rug Challenge with 14 other bloggers and today I can finally share my the 3 designs I have been working on!! The really cool thing is, the top 10 winning designs with the most votes will be produced and showcased for the first time next April at the High Point Market!
For nine years I have been at a loss for what to put along the expansive wall in my living room. I have thought about everything from a long desk to club chairs under the…

Saw it at MissMustardSeed’s this morning! Congrats!
I love it! Really gorgeous!
The one you changed to a cottage style is very pretty, but I loooove this one! Like I want to marry it! It looks very high end and gorgeous!!
I love this look and will have to keep it in mind. You did a great job making it over and explaining the steps.
It turned out gorgeous! As always, you did a fabulous job! It is amazing what a little paint and a drop cloth can do.

Jen, that really looks good and very RH like.
Love it
Love how is came out, Jen!
Really pretty, Jen! I love how it got a new look with paint AND the drop cloth. Looks like a brand new piece!
This is beautiful! And you can’t beat the price! Thanks for the tutorial on how you did it, I have a vanity bench that I need to recover and I’ve never done anything like it before. You make it looks so simple! Great job…love the paint wash!
XO,
Jane
Jen, what a magnificent transformation!!! I adore the new look… and honestly, it is so much nicer than anything I have seen in Restoration hardware lately!!!
LOVE your tips about not passing a piece up!!!
Please stop by tomorrow evening and share this at TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS… everyone will swoon!
So do you still need my address in order to deliver this lovely piece? 🙂 It is simply gorgeous! I guess that means its time to break out the paint and get serious again!
This is so inspiring! Love how it turned out. I’m perusing Craigslist for a bench now! 🙂
Looks amazing! Love the drop cloth upholstery, love the paint washing! Pinning! Would love it if you would link this up to Give Me The Goods Monday: 1 Party, 5 Blogs! http://www.rainonatinroof.com/2013/04/give-me-goods-monday-link-party-4.html

This is ah-mazing! Love this! I wonder if this technique would work on wicker. I have some dark wicker chairs..hmm..might try it 😉

I am in love with this Jen…wonderful job with something you already owned. My favorite of course is the drop cloth! I have so many I’ve used over the years and love them as they show signs of paint jobs gone by…though I never once thought about using them to recover one of my pieces. I’m on my way to Home Depot this morning to get a fresh one for 4 chairs I’m working on …THANK YOU for the great idea!
Jen, fabulous job on the bench. Very impressive!
Tami

Wow! I will be looking at Rattan furniture in a whole new light! This is just beautiful.
I started using a reader called Feedly and I love it. I’m following you through it now 🙂
I’d love it if you would share this at “What We Accomplished Wednesday,” at Green Willow Pond. It is live right now. Have a great week!
Hugs,
Deborah
