If you would’ve told me a year ago that I would be painting a room greenish brown, with fluorescent yellow and berry purple accents, I would have run away screaming, because that has got to be the worst color combination ON THE PLANET, right!?

Well about that….maybe withhold your judgement until you see the finished space?

Cause that is exactly what I did… And I’m in love.

We hear a lot about how to do things the right way. Especially in the DIY world. The right way to paint, the right way to build, the right way to caulk, and a million other right ways.

But what happens if you dont do it the right way? What does it look like!? Does the universe implode?! Given that this is the year 2020, we should all make a group pact to not test it. Pinky promise!

Today we’re talking about the right and wrong way to paint a wall! If you love fail videos, this post is for you!

Today on the blog I partnered with ebay and ShopStyle to share all the search terms, sellers, and secrets to scoring a killer deal on one of a kind vintage rugs!

The whole world wants one-of-a-kind vintage rugs. It’s like sweet, sweet air.  I think we’ve all been a part of a conversation (even a one-sided IG convo) where someone shares an amazing rug that they found on eBay for a steal and wholly inspired we click over only to find stuff that is WAY more than they paid (and out of our budget!)

Man, alive, they can be expensive, unless you know the secret handshake + search terms + take a blood oath never to reveal your sources. Well, get ready, cause I am bringing you into the club.
