The Power in a Coat of Paint

There's nothing quite like a coat of paint to instantly transform a room. Not to mention if you're savvy, it only ends up costing you, like... a can of paint. UM, Hell-O. Are we seeing why I made a career out of paint?

While there about 13,125,589 examples of glamorous paint transformations out there that I could show you... I instead wanted to share a before and after that just, feels like home, a really, real, home. Something and somewhere, that I think a lot readers will relate to.

The pair of images below are from a paint consult I did some weeks back, and it so clearly exemplifies, how a home can go from good to GREAT with the stroke of a brush.

BEFORE

When we started, the Master Bedroom was a bright, friendly blue that was welcoming, but maybe a little too welcoming for the bedroom.

AFTER

In an effort to tone down the space and bring more calm, we settled on a taupey/brown (If I'm remembering correctly, this is "Skinny No Foam" by Evolution). The color played well with the furniture pieces that were staying (Dark wood End Tables, Bed, and dressers - not shown here). We also selected a warm shade of purple for the en suite, which shared the same taupe undertones as "skinny no foam."

EDITS

After the paint went up, this client took down the floral curtains, over-sized frames above the bed, and swapped out the boldly printed bedding for a subtle pattern from Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and Ta Da! We have ourselves a brand new master.

So what do you think? Could you make a small change like this in your home?

Until Next Week.

Big thank you to this client for allowing me to share these images.
