BeMoody More Decor

Who else is relieved that we've made it to the weekend? I may be just a bit more excited than some of you... I'm outta here for a week! Time to hit the sand and the sun and just reboot. I'm wishing you all a silver lining in every situation this weekend. ⁠

For this Tuesday Tip: Paint Storage

I can't even tell you how many paint cans I have - both in sample sizes and in gallon containers. Each room has it's own color and all those sample containers... ya, they'll be used for some project one day. ⁠⁠
What's the best way to store all these? Make sure to seal them very well. Find a cool dry place. And then make sure to clearly mark each container for what room they were used in for when you need to do touch ups.⁠⁠
I've also found it beneficial to the seals if stored upside down. Now really the tip I need to come up with is how what to start using those sample jars!⁠

Who else is a wood admirer out there - and more specifically is a live edge admirer?
This project took a bit of time to find the piece of wood that would be just right - but I think it was the right pick. But it’s not light!
Have you used hair pin legs before? I think these were the right fit for this project - would you have gone with something different?

Accent wall painting talk. I'm going to start sharing tips and additional décor food for thought. Today it's all about accent walls. ⁠⁠
Growing up we didn't have white walls. Paint was a true avenue of the way my mom decorated the house. I'd say that history continued with my design preferences, and transferred into accent colors specifically for a single wall. Typically accent walls are either done with a very bright or a very dark color, and that can feel risky. So test it first. In the next tip, I'll share some best practices on how to test colors on a wall. ⁠

This is taking old and making it new. Just take a couple extra seconds this Monday morning for a deep breath and enjoy the warmth this light fixture gives off. Happy Monday y’all - let’s get at it.
