This week I'll share how quick & simple paint updates can breathe life into any well-loved piece in your home. I'll walk you through how I updated a few pieces in my home to match my taste. These projects were free, because I already had leftover paint and items on hand. If you're visiting from Instagram, Facebook, or Youtube welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

Let's get started. I know you love before & after shots so this post will not disappoint.
I loved the look of this sign but the color did not fit my design aesthetic for my space. I think it's a pretty color, but not one I wanted to be front & center in my home. I decided instead of selling it, I'd paint it with this paint I already had. I used this foam brush from Amazon! I love that you get a huge pack for a small amount of money. That means more projects! :)
Here's a photo of the during, process & if you scroll back up to the first image of my kitchen, you can see the after! Don't you love it?! I love how it stands out on my kitchen walls.
The next piece is one that is well loved. I got it for next to nothing years ago. Before I painted my kitchen it's current color, it went well. I didn't stand out too much afterwards, yet when I painted my cabinetry, it became an eyesore! I knew I needed to do something to fix it, but something was holding me back.... fear! Check out my video about fear, here!
This is what it looked like before I did anything to it. See how dark it is in the space? I'm so glad I painted it. I love the outcome of the finished product! It actually solidifies that I should've done this long ago. Hindsight is twenty-twenty I guess.
I love how light and airy the new console color makes this corner! Yes, I used newspaper versus drop cloth this time! I like to live my life on the edge... just kidding this was a spur of the moment painting project! You know you have to strike the moment while the creative irons are HOT!
I loved this last quick update the most because you guys helped me with this one. Do you remember this post on my Instagram stories? I love involving you guys on projects, because it's like you're right here with me!
Now for the close-up shot of my mantle! Based on Instagram comments, this is one of your favorite spaces in my home!
Funny thing about this update is, I had updated the paint on the wall a while back. I never came back & updated accessories to match the new paint. That was a mistake on my part, sometimes I can get so busy outside of the home with clients that I forget!
Again, I didn't have to spend anything to update this thrifted mirror. Since the update, it actually looks like it belongs in the space. Don't you agree?
