She didn't pick PINK!?

Remember that little girls room that got fresh crisp white paint? 
Also remember that one wall I did a color wash on to lighten the bright pink way back in March? 
Ya..it's no more!! 
It drove me crazy..so we painted it white too. Yes..if you don't like it, just paint it white has become the thing to do..oh help me!! Where did the time go?
I also realize that this poor little princess has waited a long time for me to finish her sweet room!!!

Last week we went to pick paint for her dresser. I finally figured it out! Just do it..she will love it no matter what. I thought she would pick something pink for sure. She surprised me with Valspar Sea Kiss. It's such a pretty color!!



I have had a lot of you asking me how I refinish my pieces. 
I like simple!!
One of the reasons I love liquid deglosser so much is that it is so simple. No sanding required!! 


A good wipe down is all you need! 


I LOVE this dresser! 
It's part of a set Hubby bought me when we first got married from a friends garage sale. I am still completely giddy about these pieces! They are made so well, and will probably outlive me!


Can we talk about color samples for a bit?! I LOVE THEM..for under $3, I painted this entire dresser and had left over paint! Ya..$3!! You don't need to have a lot of money to be able to make your pieces pretty again, or even change them up as your taste changes.


I'm constantly changing things in our home. It's what I love..thrift store, distressed, make all things pretty kind of junkie! I wake up dreaming of creating, and go to bed the same. Samples are great for any project.
 You also know, my sander is never too far away and sometimes I use blades to distress too. 


Last, I finish with wax...wax on, wax off! 
I've used it for many years, and its protected all our pieces really well. 



I leave you with a sneak peek of our progress. 
I've collected vintage floral sheets for a while now and hung one of my favorites for curtains. 
Love this!
 I have a giddy little girl, which makes me giddy!! Haha..I love having a girl!


Be blessed sweet friends!!
Love,
Naomi

My little girls room makeover begins with some whitewashing!

Hi everyone!! 
It's been awhile...and it's time for another Project!!

In between projects you can always find me posting away on Instagram :)

Today I want to share with you my sweet little ones room makeover. 
As you know, I love my whites..well the builder beige walls in my sweet little ones room were looking dingy. She is my "lets color on walls kinda girl". 
They needed to be repainted and out came my white!! 


It's crisp and fresh! 
Open to add whatever colors we decide to go with. 
I love how whites look with pops of color.


This little girl absolutely LOVES her pink wall and requested to keep it. 
Which little girl doesn't?!
We toned down this bright pink with whitewashing it.
 I wanted it to feel soft. 

Whitewashing is so simple..
1 part paint to 1 part water. 
That's it, just wash it on, wipe it off...you get the idea.


Be prepared...it is pretty messy!! 
Yes..wear gloves! 
I'm a who needs gloves kinda girl..ha, really, do wear them, your mani will thank you!




There you have a toned down whitewashed pink wall! 

We are patiently waiting on our wood floors, which somehow had to be reordered. 
Fingers crossed at them arriving today! 

Enjoy your weekend!! 
I'm off to make decisions on repainting her furniture. Stay tuned..more to come on this sweet princesses room!

Be blessed,
Naomi
