I am going to show you the little gallery wall I made in my studio. I will admit gallery walls seem very intimidating.

  • Dreamy new colors in the bedroom make all the difference.
  • Bold red, and knotty wood wasn't doing anything for the  "mood" in this bedroom.  It was time for a change.
  • We started out the weekend just painting the walls a new color but that bed just kept calling to me....

The Power of Paint

Sometimes all it takes is a little paint to entirely change the mood and feel of a room. What do you do when you hear that voice inside your head that says "go ahead and paint that wood...you know you want to!"

  • I painted the casing on this vintage oak dresser with Reclaim paint in off-white.
  • the before picture. The mirror was missing so my hubby cut a piece of wood to replace it.
  • I used spray paint for the original hardware.
  • I created a chalkboard in place of the missing mirror. I used Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint, the brush on kind.
