Start your week right: Monday Giveaway Time! 3 Winners!

Eve’s new book The Right Color: Finding the Perfect Palette for Every Room in Your Home” has been 20 years in the making – the length of her career as a taste-making and boundary-pushing architectural colorist. “The topic of color is so abstract and complex,” Eve says, “I think it was wise for me to wait.”


From “Breaking The Color Rules (1-10)” to “Twenty-Eight Colors That Work,” THE RIGHT COLOR is both an inspirational object of beauty and a trusty, approachable guide to putting colors on the wall (and floor, and ceiling!) that make a statement and create a home.

This book is addictive and actionable! Which we love. So many real examples of how to color a room. It's perfect timing too. We have been using her on the downstairs bedroom and the kitchen. You want this beaute. She's a keeper. Take 30 seconds to enter below! Three winners, whoot!

One-A-Week-Wednesday with Pinterest

Welcome to our first one-a-week-wednesday! Did you guess from this post what project we picked?!


Yep! The winner is the fuzzy chair. Or if we are going to be classy, we are DIYing a sheepskin chair. Well, faux sheepskin. I just had to! It was quick, simple, and gratifying! The picture was pinned from this lovely site I discovered, care of Pinterest. 

 

She's pretty, eh? So let's see how we did. As with every project we like to be inspired  by things we see, and add our own twist and make it ours. 

We started with an old chair, I have no idea where it came from. We painted it basic white from a cheap spray paint can.

That was ther "hard" part. Painting and waiting for it to dry. Don't you love this project? Next we grabbed some small white nails we had on hand and secured a faux sheepskin Ikea rug we got for $10 to the shape of the chair. 

So, what did we accomplish?

After working on her in the kitchen, we moved her into her home in the front hall. We like here there a lot. It's a perfect place to put shoes on and take them off, and drop my bag when I walk in the front door. Who thought a DIY sheepskin chair would be part of our decor?

And what's up for next week? Maybe you can help us decide!
