Work From Home: Quarantine Style
It’s safe to say that life has changed in just a few short weeks for most, if not all of us. The large majority of us are hunkered down in our homes (shoutout to those essential employees still going to work to keep things running smoothly!) The advent of technology means a lot of us are still working, for which I’m sure we’re all grateful. But working from home doesn’t come without challenges in normal circumstances, and it’s especially challenging when you add in kids, “homeschooling” and a partner with a similarly demanding schedule and workload.
Read MoreProject Reveal: The Maplewood Colonial
It took 18 months to finally get a photoshoot scheduled for the Maplewood Colonial, and we can’t wait finally share the photos. Naturally, as soon as the shoot wrapped, we promptly started tearing into new projects, but we’ve at least documented some of the progress around here.

The last 18 months were about making lots of unseen changes.

It’s that time of year when we reflect on the last year - the good, the bad and the ugly. But this reflection is pretty easy and more fun than some of the others. We’re looking back at some of our most used paint colors from 2019. With more beach-inspired design, we used a lot of white and neutrals. But there were some rich greens that made the top of our list too. For 2020, we’ll definitely be looking for more greens. And perhaps be able to work in some other fun colors along the way. For now, we hope you enjoy some of our 2019 favorites!
Read MoreTried and True White Paint Colors
It’s been almost two years since our last paint guide, so this one is long overdue. How hard can it be to pick a white paint color? Unfortunately, it can be one of the hardest colors to pick (in my opinion, second only to picking grays). So today we’re sharing some of our go-to white paint colors. We’ve used them all in various ways across different projects, so we can personally vouch for them.
