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.

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…
If you’re a furniture painter, a weekend DIYer or just now dipping your toe into the pool of creativity there’s a big chance you’ll come across a piece that you love that may not be real wood. Here’s a look at how we saved the River Ranch media cabinet and how you can have success even if you’re a beginner painting laminate furniture too…
Over the past few years, the laundry room has undergone a few small makeovers. The best thing we added to the space was a folding station. It’s such a time saver especially on those heavy laundry days. Recently, I found I needed a bit more surface area on the folding station so I hit the treasure trail to find just the perfect piece. Here’s a look at what I came home with…
A few weeks ago I started working on a new project called River Ranch. This will be a second home and retreat space for a super sweet family.
I’ve using chalk paint when painting furniture for a while now privately for clients and over the past few years for my space at The Pickers Market.
