Favorite Blue and Green Paint Colors
Hi! I’m back this week with Favorite Blue and Green Paint colors. Last week we were talking all about tried-and-true White Paint colors. (If you missed it, just click here.) This week is all about blues and greens. Pantone came out recently with their color pick for 2020- it is Classic Blue. And while this list doesn’t contain Classic Blue per se, it does contain blues and greens that are classic in style and quite possibly will stand the test of time.

Favorite White Paint Colors
If you are looking to paint at least one room in your house white, you aren’t alone. White paint colors have been back for a while now and don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. It is such a versatile color and makes the perfect backdrop for any style, be it modern, traditional, modern traditional, transitional, cottage-y,… The list goes on and on and on. And so do your white paint color choices. Having just helped with a white dining room and painted our own living room white, I feel fairly well versed in the area.

Cozy Winter Living Room
Hi again! I’m so excited to share our Cozy Winter Living Room with you. As always, I just couldn’t get into the Christmas spirit until after Thanksgiving. The stomach bug struck our house the week before Thanksgiving so that was also a definite conspirator in keeping Christmas at bay until the Friday after. And then there were only 3 weeks until Christmas, so the time has come and gone to share our Christmas decorations. (Although, if you look closely, there are still some decorations that can pull double duty as Christmas and winter decor. Maybe that’s why my decorations bins are always such as disaster… some decorations trickle in every…

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Top 5 List
Hi and Happy Friday! Welcome to a place where we talk about all of the discoveries of the week. This week I’m sharing my Top 5 List. Sort of. A location that is in my Top 5 Places to Visit. Lighting that is in my Top 5 wish-list purchases for the house this year. A dish reminiscent of those childhood Spaghetti-O’s (but much better!) that is in our family’s Top 5 dinner rotations. A book that I read a few years ago but that remains on my Top 5 list. And, finally, the softest pants that are in my Top 5 rotation for winter and spring.

Elegant Dining Room: How to Add a Chevron Board and Batten Wall
Hi there! Well… we missed a week for the One Room Challenge, so we have a lot to catch up on! As a refresher, Gretchen and I are…well… refreshing her dining room. Because I needed some focus, I dubbed the dining room our Elegant Dining Room Refresh (super creative, I know), and it certainly has lived up to its name! This week, we added a chevron board and batten wall. This is such an easy (Okay, not easy. But also not hard. Definitely time consuming.) and relatively inexpensive way to add elegance. So, here is what we (mostly Gretchen) did.
