From left to right:
  • Here's the after. Doesn't it look amazing?
  • This is the stenciling process: It's so easy and looks amazing! Simply choose your pattern, paint and wall. Roll on the paint and voila!
  • This is us choosing our stencils. Don't you love the Hometalk hats? :-)
  • This was our work station. We got to stencil totes as well- it was great practice!
  • The proper tools to get started! (Thanks CES!) We learned about the importance of a proper roller brush - you don't want to make that mistake!

else. I'm a bit behind on my new year's resolution to update my living/dining area, so this outing to Cutting Edge Stencils was exactly what I needed! Janna and Greg, the owners of CES, are so talented and passionate about what they do. It was a wonderful experience. Now I'm all ready to get started. Wish me luck, and give me a few weeks, ok? :-)

Names from left to right: Laura, The Shed blog by Pet Scribbles, Evey's Creations, Eclectically Vintage - Kelly, me, Days of Chalk and Chocolate, City Farmhouse, Finding Home, and Janna from CES.

How are you keeping cozy?

This week's theme is #KeepingCozy. It's COLD here in NYC. I have an icy 15 minute walk to the train to work and back every day, ...»
and I love coming home to a cozy house. My favorite thing to do when I get home is to cuddle up under warm blankets with my laptop. I prefer not to waste electricity on heat unless I absolutely have to, so spending a little extra on a super warm comforter seems like a worthwhile investment.

How do you keep warm? Share your post and pictures with the #KeepingCozy hashtag.

Do you have a New Year's Resolution?

Confession time! This is my living/dining room. As you can see it is stark, white and minimal. I'll admit, I like it that way ~I'm odd like that :) but I've decided it's time to make a change and inject some color. I think New Year's Resolutions should be about challenging ourselves to do something that will ultimately make us happy (funny how we sometimes resist that), so this is mine. What's yours? Please use this hashtag in your post so we can all see it: ...»
