It’s that time of year when we reflect on the last year - the good, the bad and the ugly. But this reflection is pretty easy and more fun than some of the others. We’re looking back at some of our most used paint colors from 2019. With more beach-inspired design, we used a lot of white and neutrals. But there were some rich greens that made the top of our list too. For 2020, we’ll definitely be looking for more greens. And perhaps be able to work in some other fun colors along the way. For now, we hope you enjoy some of our 2019 favorites!

It’s been almost two years since our last paint guide, so this one is long overdue. How hard can it be to pick a white paint color? Unfortunately, it can be one of the hardest colors to pick (in my opinion, second only to picking grays). So today we’re sharing some of our go-to white paint colors. We’ve used them all in various ways across different projects, so we can personally vouch for them.

We’re excited to finally share this new build with you. It kind of flew under the radar as the Jupiter Bungalow consumed a fair amount of social media time this past spring, but we’ve been working on this one for most of 2019. We worked with our favorite contractor, Lakeview Builders, and the finished product is as good as you would imagine it to be.

After nearly 15 months, we’re so excited to finally share the finished Jupiter Bungalow. This project started out as a very outdated, dark and drab canvas, with particularly low ceilings. Our goal was to make it bright and more modern, as well as open up the space to accommodate big family gatherings. One of the biggest changes in the home was taking the main house ceiling from 8’ to 10’. You can see the enormous difference in the before and after pictures.

You'll be happy to know that the dining room dilemma has been solved. We're just waiting for a table delivery (ok...and a sideboard that I'm now dying to buy!), and that room will finally be pulled together.

As the dining room dilemma winds down, we're tackling one of the final living room challenges. The ottoman. When we got our new rug, we changed up the layout which has opened it up tremendously. The only problem with that now have is that our existing truck is too small for the space. When it's centered, it reaches neither the sofa or the chairs on the opposite wall.
