It’s my latest painting that I thought I finished this morning, and even blogged about it. And posted it (you quick readers may have got a glimpse at the first “finished” product). And then I saw the post and it didn’t feel right. So I deleted it. Put more time into the painting and it feels right now. It has texture and depth. It feels almost dark–I like that. There’s lots of layers of paint there. I’ll let you take a glimpse at what I believe to be the bottom layer:
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

I absolutely love this! Gorgeous job. I wish I could hang it in my living room!! (Found your blog through the photo of your stairway gallery wall on Pinterest)
Wow, I so love this painting. I don’t know what it is – the scale, the soft background color, or the fact that it would fit so nice into a traditional or modern space. You did an AMAZING job – would never think to paint over that – but what a deal and a HUGE savings. I’m so impressed!!!
