Do you know what the first thing on every makeover checklist is? Paint!
It is the biggest impact/smallest investment you can make when you are overhauling a space and has the ability to absolutely transform it! Case in point, my nephew Gordon’s bedroom. With a quick trip to Sherwin-Williams for 2 gallons of paint and just a few hours, we completely changed the look of the entire room!
Here’s the before:

You guys know I love a good wall treatment, but I dont know if I have ever loved a wall treatment as much as I love this Fluted wall. It is an absolute labor of love, so settle in because if you are going to DIY this fluted wall treatment you’ve got to have stamina.
Fluting is a type of molding finish where half round, or rounded pieces of molding are repeated over and over. We’ve seen slat walls take the DIY world by storm over the last few years, this is the more refined version of that. Fluted walls/furniture/etc. can pull either very boho and a little 80’s or more traditional like ours. It all depends on how it’s styled and the color of the wall!

Every year Sherwin-Williams predicts what will be the hottest color for the upcoming year, and I’ve been lucky enough to help them announce it for the last 6! We’ve seen everything from bright coral, to almost white, to the perfect navy blue.
This year’s color is sure to hit the moody neutral lovers in all the feels. Sherwin-Williams 2021 Color of the Year is Urbane Bronze SW 7048. It’s a dark, warm brown that has moments of gray and green, and it is FIRE! It’s deep and soothing, and just makes any space look calm and inviting.
For our project this year, we took what was going to be a series of small projects, and in true Vintage Revivals style expanded them until they took over our entire lives. Court super loves it when that happens 😂 So here are two fun ways to use the 2021 Color of the Year – one big and one small.

They say that owning a cabin means endless projects. They are correct. Every summer we tackle something at our family cabin (last year it was a 10 day kitchen renovation) this year, our biggest priority was sealing the interior off to critters.

If you ask any plant lover what their biggest frustration with plant parenthood you will hear over and over the problems with hanging plants.
Hanging plants look amazing, but man alive can they be hard to water. You know those infomercials where people hilariously struggle to do simple tasks? It’s like that, but it actually happens!! Water running down your arm, overflowing onto the floor, blindly missing the soil. GUYS, THIS IS REAL! 😂
So like any good designer, I took what was frustrating me the most (because I have 5000 hanging plants) and made a project out of it. I needed a way to easily lower the plant to water it (or take it off to soak) that looked incredible and was life changing functional.
