  1. In February I took down super old wallpaper in the master that was on the top 2/3 of the walls and painted the top 2/3 light grey and the bottom 1/3 a deep tone! I envision board and Barton but the line is about 1-2 feet lower that what you’ve done here due to the fact that the wall was smooth where the paper was and textured where it wasn’t... would this look odd if the boards were much lower? Love thatbwjat you did was what I envisioned!! Just need to finish the work! Thanks.

  2. The salt & vinegar chicken is a family favorite! Question about the paint storage. Is your garage heated at all? Wondering if you’ve ever had cold temps impact the quality of the paint after you’ve stored it over the winter.

  3. So, this is going to sound SUPER weird, but I had a dream last night (or rather a stream-of-consciousness thought before drifting off to sleep) about painting our very dingy-looking 8 year old playset! And do you know whose playset I envisioned it looking like when finished?! YOURS! Weird, right?! Ours is cedar too, but faded from hours in the sun and years of hard playing. We have a green vinyl top, not a hard roof, and no bench underneath. We have a white house with black shutters and this playset sits in our side yard and is visible from the street. Will probably have to wait a bit for Spring to really happen in the Northeast, but... we want to get our short driveway paved this year and our playset sits next to it so I'm thinking all-around spruce up! Also, will be sharing the chicken recipe with my husband!

Fall Around Our House 2024

Some years, I go very spooky, gothic, dramatic Halloween, but this year, you may notice that I didn’t really decorate for Halloween at all. I stuck more with fall-themed decor as opposed to Halloween, because I could feel my energy running thin. Just a reminder: You don't have to do it all! Decorating for fall […]
