Creating Our Own Fairytale
Some days I think all I do is talk about paint. Working at a paint store means I spend the majority of my time looking at new paint colors, figuring out which type of paint a customer needs and troubleshooting painting problems! There's nothing worse then finding out the three rooms you just spent hours painting were the wrong product... and the fresh shiny new coat of light french gray paint you've applied is peeling off in huge sheets!
It's a real problem y'all.
Of course, the best part of knowing a bit about paint is sharing my knowledge with all of you! I love to answer your questions every week and I work really hard to write up posts to cover. all. the. things.
Whether you're picking the perfect color, trying to figure out just what paint brush you need or trying to figure out how to remove frustrating wallpaper I've got you covered.

Last week Mom and I decided to install a bit of new molding to her living room to extend the already existing trim for an extended crown molding look. It’s actually glorious BUT we figured out pretty quickly that morning that our angle finder was lost. Instead of wasting time running to the store for a new angle finding tool… Read More
We spent a few hours yesterday painting Mom’s living room… it’s a 15×17 room that we took from a medium tone gold to a beautiful new sea salt. It looks amazing so far but it needed a little bit of an extra touch. That cherry on top. So we decided to pick up a few pieces of crown molding to… Read More
We’re going to paint a big room today… 15 x 17 in a matter of a few hours. In fact, we’re painting my Mom’s living room with 2 coats of paint and the entire process took about 5 hours (including a lunch break!). The best part? The ugly gold paint that has been in this room since Mom bought the… Read More
