Retro patio vibes are making me SO excited for our new backyard. I’m obsessed with the idea that you get to enjoy it when you’re outside and again from the other side of your windows. It pulls double duty.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your space @sarahgeorgerclark! And big thanks to @alicenpnwland for helping me paint this one so quickly 😘😘

This mural was such a pleasure to paint. The combo of the bright colors and the classic stripes brings me to my Mural roots and just sparked so much creativity.

Also, how amazing is this mudroom?? Which cubby would you pick?

And yes, the paint was still drying. I think it always is when I get to the photo stage!

I spent the last two days at a summer camp in Maryland painting squiggles. 10 year old Racheal is VERY impressed.

Jessy, it was a pleasure getting a peek into your life and meeting your people. Thanks so much for being so spontaneous and creating something so fun with me!

This piece for the creator of @kindnesscville has a soft spot in my heart. It feels delicate and busy at the same time, which just makes my heart sing 🎶.

I spent the past two nights at @streetransom’s safe house for juvenile survivors of human trafficking.

With helpers who answered the Instagram call, we painted four walls and helped this space feel interesting, calming and playful.

I have to also give some major props to @kat.arnold.19, who has been working for 6 years to see this project happen, and will finally see the doors open in the fall. Thank you for bringing me in on this project. Congrats!! 🎉🎉

I have been traveling so much lately so my time with my kids is getting more and more precious. I partnered up with @squishmallows to create a food truck with the kids and it was SUCH a fun project.

I thought I’d be making it myself but they were invested from the beginning and have been playing with it ever since!

We are big fans of Squishmallows in our family and often give them as gifts because they’re so soft—I consider it an excuse to buy myself a new cuddle buddy.

This line of fun food Squishmallows has been a great addition to the kids’ playtime and a cozy addition to family movie night! Find them and others at Claire’s, Homegoods and Squishmallows.com.

Remember how I took a sledgehammer to my bathroom in FEBRUARY and still don’t have a finished space in AUGUST? Yeah, me too.

What you might not know is that it’s actually been a FULL YEAR since @fireclaytile sent me these gorgeous tiles and @buildwithferguson sent the @kohler fixtures and @misenohome hardware.

A full year. A year full of forest fires (we couldn’t do the original bathroom because it needed to be a refuge for my dad and his partner), a pandemic and a lot of other fun projects on the side.

But we’re here now, with a partially completed bathroom and a countdown until we move. More progress coming soon!!

We bought a house!!!!

Hahhaha OH MY GOSH. We weren’t seriously looking for a house, but two nights ago I was doing my nightly round of “Zillow and chill” when I found this gem.

24 hours later we had an offer in and today we found out it was accepted 🎉🎉🎉.

We have an inspection on Friday. Fingers crossed it all goes well!

As most of you know we’re currently renting. We’ll stay in our current home while we prep this house to move in (sadly those orange shag rugs are hiding a plethora of stinky secrets). If all goes smoothly we hope to move in come fall.

Thanks for celebrating with us! Now please excuse me while I do a deep Pinterest search on “how to make orange countertops work”.

Also major thanks to @jodidobberealtor for making this happen with zero notice!

What is the weirdest place you’ve read? As a kid I’d find myself in the weirdest places (in a box, under a bed, etc). As an adult, all of my favorite places are outside: under a tree, in a hammock, on a rooftop 😂(not really, don’t try that at home kids!).

I like to add an extra layer of whimsy to my daily life, and today @nativeshoes did just that by making it feel like I was walking on clouds (seriously, they feel amazing). Plus, these Jefferson shoes are made out of repurposed ALGAE! How much weirder or whimsical could you get? They have a great collection of colors and styles, go check them out at @nativeshoes. #livelightly

This is the LEAST efficient snd MOST inspiring way to display my paint. We all know where my priorities lie 😂.

Also this is only about half of my supply which means a change has to come, so I shall let it live here forever 😍

There are so many things I love about painting, but my favorite is the infinite chances to get it right.

Something doesn’t feel right? Paint over it! Still doesn’t feel right? Paint over it! STILL doesn’t feel right? Go buy more paint and paint over it!

Life lesson: keep trying. Enjoy the quirks. Embrace your “imperfections”, cause they’re evidence that you’re human!!

I LOVE how this mural turned out. It feels playful, delicate and interesting. Thank you so much to Kristen for having me!!

My littlest sister moved into her very first apartment and has been living with white walls that she can’t paint for 6 months. I finally took it upon myself to start curating an art collection for her, starting with something of mine!

Using online framing from @joann_stores, I uploaded the file, picked a frame and a week or so later had art for my sister! I’m “feeling empowered to free the digital downloads that have been trapped on my computer!

This is a great gift idea or an easy way to tick “print and frame photos” off of your to-do list!

The sun is orange, the skies are hazy and I’m just going to let those things remind me of what has to be one of my favorite murals to date.

I’m currently working with another client who wants a piece in this style—I can’t wait to see what their version of this piece is going to look like!

You know that feeling when you’re doodling and you go off page? That’s how I feel this mural is. A continuous story between walls. A mystical trail leading you someplace magical. You know, like the basement bathroom. Magical ✨

Thanks so much Lauren for letting me go to town on your basement! You two were a pleasure to work with. Please throw out that hard boiled egg 😂.

It’s just paint!!! Do you know how many times I’ve repainted this wall? How about how many sections of this specific mural that I had to repaint until I was happy with the work?

I don’t know and I won’t count because it absolutely doesn’t matter! All that matters is that I enjoyed the process and pulled myself out of a funk by focusing on creating something.

I created this mural as my submission to the Swap Meet event hosted by @bludot. Last year they started this swap meet event to help inspire people to get creative while they were in lockdown and are bringing it back this year!

Search your house or create something cool to submit! July 16-29th you can upload your items to their website and offer trades for @bludot product.

They’ll then go through and choose a bunch of trades that they love—last year they gave out almost $100k in furniture 🙌.

If you need a sign that it’s time to get creative, this is it!!

Paint and imagination. We had these fenceposts that were full of concrete and IMPOSSIBLE to remove, so I used some spray paint and “yarn-bombed” them. Now they’re hammock poles.

A bunch of rad accounts are sharing their outdoor spaces to give you some ideas for your own! Check them out and remember that you don’t have to be FLuUush with CAAash🎶 (ala John Ralphio, Anyone? Anyone?) to have a good looking outdoor space.

I left for a trip the morning that I finished this kitchen and got back recently. You better believe I’m spending ALL DAY EVERY DAY down here!! 😂

Seriously, it’s magical. I’ll post a before and after video in my stories so you can get a feel for the space.

This chandelier from @blueprint_lighting is the piece that makes this whole space feel complete, and they have a coupon code for you to get 25% off any purchases! Use banyanbridges25.

These past two murals have been a visit to Banyan Bridges roots and I LOVE them!! I’m amazed at how quickly some bold stripes and color will completely shift the feel of a space!

And now I’m kinda crushing on some muted blues 😍

Murals 4 and 5 are done, wrapping up our Nashville mural trip! And what a magical way to end it. With these fun, colorful pieces in a gorgeous home that’s being renovated.

The fun stripeys that touch 4 walls will be in a game room, bringing a playful vibe to the space while the large arches will be behind a console and a tv, the perfect simple backdrop.

I’m so sad to leave these murals behind and I’m 100% convinced I need to create a new one at my house so I can sit and enjoy it all day long!

Mural 2/5 of our Nashville Mural trip is done and it’s sooooo pretty!! Look at these colors! 😍

Swipe for the colors I used. The base wall color is Romance (by @sherwinwilliams) mixed at 50%.

You asked to see the pink fridge so I give you my pink vintage fridge!

I think one of my favorite things in here is the contrast of old and new. Like my 100 year old table and my (gifted) chairs from @apt2b or my vintage appliances with a poppy modern green cabinet color. It’s all about those layers for me!!

It’s summertime which means we are spending all of our time outside (preserving my sanity!!). Pancake picnics out at the hammocks is where it’s at!

Mix @krusteaz, freeze dried strawberries, a tablespoon of brown sugar and some vanilla. No mess, all flavor.

Send those kids outside or better yet, send YOURSELF outside and enjoy the sun and a pancake lunch! ☀️ 🥞

It’s done!!! 8 weeks and maybe two years off my life later 😂, this kitchen is my new favorite place to be!

About a year ago I had an idea for a green kitchen with a mint sink and butcher block countertops. I pictured an old wood hutch on the counter, and knew I needed to make it happen. It’s magical to see it finally take shape.

I have SO many more photos on the blog and will roll out more and more here over the next few weeks.

Thanks to Linda of @oneroomchallenge and @betterhomesandgardens for lighting a fire under me and making this happen!

Oh my gosh I installed that sink! The countertops are in! Extra tile for our checkerboard backsplash is ordered and the “rug” primer layer is down!

Dayspring.

There is something indescribable about that first second the sun peaks over the horizon. Slowly at first, then all at once. I feel most connected with the earth at that hour. The colors are varied and striking. There is so much hope on the horizon of a new day.

When tessellate_textiles posted the first glimpse of her upcoming #DayspringQuilt a few weeks ago, I immediately gasped and fell harder in love with a quilt than I have in a long time. Mark your calendars for THIS FRIDAY, when you, too, can write your own love story with Dayspring.

I used a selection of Spectrastatic fabrics by Giucy_Giuce for AndoverFabrics. I couldn’t be more in love with these beautiful fabrics.
