Our Paint Colors
Up first is our living room, I'm sharing various pictures of living room in the past few though months plus is varying light. Our living room, Dining Room walls are painted Designer Grey, all of our interior trim is Swiss Coffee by Kelly Moore, color matched by Sherwin Williams. The inside of our front door is Elephant Skin by Behr.
Originally the inside of our front door was painted white and it just felt to safe and boring for our pretty door. I painted the inside of our door Elephant Skin by Behr.
Below is the color code information for Designer Grey, I found the color at our local hardware store Meeks and the original color swatch went missing, so I'm not sure who the manufacturer of the color is. I've Googled like crazy and no luck yet.
As I mentioned earlier our dining room is also painted Designer Grey, hands down my favorite color grey.
In our laundry room, we went a subtle taupe grey shade Smooth Stone by Glidden. Here's a view of our laundry room, months ago. I have plans to overhaul this area and create a space that works for my family, sharing my plans this week on the blog. The inside of our door is Bali Bliss by Behr.
Both our boys bedroom are also painted Designer Grey, its such a nice grey that looks so good in every space.
We used Smooth Stone by Glidden in our master bedroom again.
Now for our exterior house colors. Our exterior is Pier by Behr, trim is Ultra White Sherwin Williams paint and front door is a shade of chartreuse Antiquity by Sherwin Williams.
As you can tell went with two main colors for our walls thoughout our house due to budget constraints during our re-build, which looking back well over a year I'm so happy it worked out that way! I love the the colors and don't see myself changing them up anytime soon, but more on that when I share my laundry room plans this week.

Quitting the guilt game
Guilt is a powerful thing, yet completely unnecessary. Think of all the countless ways we tear ourselves down on a way-to0-regular basis over guilt in our life: religion, parenting, food, finances, the list is literally endless. Yet, for some unfathomable reason, blog posts disguised as guilt rants are running amok these days. “Why I quit […]

Why I Love Sugru (And Why You Will Too)
Gorgeous Green and Gold Vintage Dresser
We're starting from scratch replacing items in her space that no longer works or she no longer loves. Since she moved into a small home, storage is essential. We decided to work on her living room first, transforming a basic box into a multi-functional, a place to lounge, visit with friends, a spot to pay bills / study area for her son. My sister loves the look of our vintage campaign dresser and all the hidden storage it provides. I think in small spaces how furniture needs be both swoon worthy as it is practical. I started my search on Craigslist and within a week, I found THE dresser that I knew would look so good in her living room. My sister bought the dresser for a steal, paying only $160.00.
Since my sister can't paint the walls, we decided to go with a bold makeover. After going though several paint swatches, painting the dresser a shade of green was the perfect choice. I painted the dresser Green Grass by Behr in semi gloss. The color is such a pretty bright happy shade of green. I applied to coats of primer before painting the dresser and sanding in between coats. Since the color is so saturated, it took three coats of paint for full coverage.
Here's my sister's new dresser turned TV Stand. The lower drawers are the perfect depth to hold her DVDs, and the upper storage provides a spot for 'paper clutter.'
The hardware on this dresser is stunning. I cleaned the hardware gently using Bar Keepers Friend, removing the grime and tarnish buildup.
I'm in the process of working on some more projects for her living room, and can't wait to share some updates along with the design layout and ideas. I must confess, it was so hard to give my sister her dresser after I re-finished it, thankfully I get to visit the pretty green and gold dresser when I'm at her house.
What do you think of this vintage dresser, turned TV Stand Makeover?
