Memorial day weekend is typically a time to kick off summer and get things done around the house. Work hard play hard, and Micah and I managed to do both. We started out the weekend completing the painting in the entry and finished it off with a great pool party filled with friends and family.
Truth be told I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with things with that pool. It’s all my kids want to do!
We finished the trim last weekend – prepping and painting that first. I’m still so happy with the transformation. You can see the before here. And then we painted the walls Olympic’s Subtle Blue in the new HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams paint for Lowes.
The secretary from our last master bath fits perfectly here, and I switched out the knobs to take it from bathroom to entry.
I’m still searching for the perfect piece of art, but I had this $5 thrift find in the basement (oh my word, the amount of things I have in the basement!) and it happened to fit perfectly. It’s not the style I was envisioning, but I like it well enough for now as I continue to search for the piece that makes my heart go pitter patter. And it picks up the blue of the light.
I love this light. It’s the Butte faceted pendant from Rejuvenation. It’s modern and simple, but the blue is welcoming and a traditional, cornflower color. It stands apart from it’s neighboring lights, yet plays well with them. I’ll be back later this week to talk more about my process for choosing lights that work well together.
Hope all of you in The States had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Pretty wall color! And ugh, you are making me realize how much impact painting our trim would have. I've done some of it and it really does make everything look so clean and fresh. But it's such a tedious job!! And there is so much of it! I will offer you meals and childcare if you and Micah come here and do it for me 😉

Nicely done. Love the versatility of the console desk.

I think light blue can be a really hard color to pull off – and dang, you are rockin' it. I feel like you are just nailing it in your new home. I've so enjoyed following along – gorgeous.
