We’ve been tackling all sorts of projects at Loblolly Manor this past week. It’s been everything from rearranging and organizing furniture to giving one of the bedrooms a bit of a makeover. Here’s a look at how we gave the room a fresh look starting with a DIY painted nightstand…
A few weeks ago, a client called to tell me she found two dining room chairs she thought would be perfect for a bench. She further went on to say, the chairs were missing the inside arms but she swore I could make it happen…ok, what now? Here’s a look at how we created a bench from two dining room chairs…
I’ve been painting pieces of furniture for private pay clients for a few years now. Recently, the homeowners of River Ranch asked if I would paint a pair of chairs for them. These specific chairs had been covered in plastic for almost 50 years. I know, right? The pressure! Here’s a look at how the chairs came together…
We were nearing the end of the One Room Challenge, when we decided to update the suite of rooms connected to the office. Here’s a look at how we gave the dressers in the bedroom a budget friendly makeover by creating a color wash.
While I use a lot of neutrals at home, my booth at The Pickers Market is filled with coastal inspired items and furniture pieces painted in customer favorites like Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg. It’s a very calming color that can be used in a variety of different styles because it has a great vintage color quality. Here’s a look at a few makeovers we’ve completed using Duck Egg…
Welcome back! I hope you guys all had a happy and rest filled weekend. We had fun celebrating my mom and hanging out as a family at Loblolly Manor. It was nice to be able to take a bit of a break to celebrate all the sweet, sassy and strong women that make up my family so I hope you guys had a chance to celebrate the women you love too.
I’m so glad you guys are here today. It’s going to be an awesome day because I’m teaming up with some of my favorite painters and business women for a fun post called What’s in My Paint Bag?
As you guys know, my Dad built a set of custom bookcases for the office makeover I’m doing as a guest participant for the One Room Challenge. He’s a really talented guy so I knew he could handle it, no problem. Well, he delivered them last week and imagine by surprise when they almost reached my 9 feet ceilings. Here’s a look at how they came together…
I need a separate desk area even though we have plans to build a work island in the office. The hutch offers a generous amount of space for office supplies, a laptop and monitor so as far as I can tell it’s going to be a great piece. There’s just one thing I need to work out…here’s a look at the desk and hutch makeover.
A few weeks ago I was out shopping looking for a dresser I could use for office storage. After not finding anything at multiple stores over multiple trips, I had resigned to repurposing the existing file cabinets. Until, I saw this piece…
Right off the guest bedroom at River Ranch is the guest bathroom. We replaced the floors, spray painted the light fixtures, painted the mirror and created a color palate of crisp whites, shades of blues and pops of yellow to complete this bathroom makeover. Here’s a look at how all of the details came together…
Do you guys remember the desk that’s been in my booth a few months? When we worked to bring touches of Spring to the space a few weeks ago, I decided if it hadn’t sold by the end of March I would paint it with a custom mix of ASCP in pale gray. Here’s a look at how this desk got a happy ending…
