I chatted with 8 painters from across the country recently about what they thought was trending in the painting industry for 2018. We discussed colors, painting techniques and what their most-requested projects are. I realize this is a first world problem, but paying attention to little details like this makes all the difference in your home. As I announced on my Facebook page recently, I decided to paint our dining room ceiling BLACK. I can't wait to show you all this project and give you a dose of courage to do a wild painting project.

Is it just me or is the master bedroom the LAST thing on your list to get crossed off, since typically no one else really sees it anyway? Well, we had our furniture for 15 years and it was really. I recently had the honor of painting this chair for a women's event at my church that Julianna Zobrist was speaking at. For those of you who don't know, Julianne is married to the 2016 World Series baseball MVP, Ben. I just got done painting a curtain rod at my house and I'm so obsessed with how it turned out that I'm getting ready to do a cabinet in the same finish.

I want to share a major tip with you about painting knotty alder cabinets. It's something I didn't share earlier when I first showed you my painted kitchen cabinets in my kitchen (which you can see here). Recently my sister in law emailed me this picture of a kitchen in a home they are purchasing. We recently had new Silestone countertops installed in our kitchen and I am so excited to show them to you all! We waited a long, long time for these and I am thrilled with how our kitchen remodel is coming.
