Reveal!!!!!!! Inspired by thehummingbirddigs and her brushstroke wall! #banyanbridgesbold #brushstrokewall #wallmural

One wall down, two more to go.

Progress on the playroom portion of the library continues. I might have to frame the brush I used for this mural when I'm done, it's so small!

The good news is the other two walls are half this size so really I could probably say I'm halfway done with this project except...that I'm only on the first color. *Cries* What have I gotten myself into?! Any guesses as to how long it will really finish this?

Work in progress! It was nice not to have to worry about perfectly straight lines or angles like a lot of my murals. This was just relaxing and just needs a bit touching up. Thanks to thehummingbirddigs for the inspiration . #banyanbridgesbold #brushstrokewall

Welcome to the happiest hallway in all the land. I am so in love with how this turned out. Our hallway was honestly at the bottom of my projects list because well, ITS A HALLWAY! And then I realized we use this hallway alllll day long so it should at least get painted to match the living room, and why not add some color?! So here we are, happy as can be with ALL THE COLOR 🌈

What’s your favorite color?! Tell me down below!

This has nothing to do with bees 🐝 but my kids start school in person tomorrow. We are all kinds of nervous and excited over here. I tend to paint when I’m feeling stressed. I couldn’t get my paint out fast enough when I saw something similar on one of my favorite instagram accounts banyanbridges. Let the paint dry overnight and will finish the touch ups today. #banyanbridgesbold #schoolstartstomorrow #paintallthethings #dontjustpinitdoit #usingwhatihave #creatingahome #momofmany #juststaybusy #paintingmakesmehappy #createeveryday

My tiny helper as we work to simplify our lives. After I had my second son in August 2018, we started on our journey to be minimalish. We cut the amount of toys in half, donated excess decor, and tossed a lot of junk. The effect it had on our lives was unbelievable. Two years later and we continue to donate things that no longer serve a purpose for our family. However now, there are three tiny humans and we’re living through a pandemic in our relatively small space - It’s become clear it’s time to simplify some more. I’m reading the book Simplicity Parenting and making all the notes about how to implement the strategies in our own home. First step is our environment, so here we are, working through the big boys’ room again just me and my little buddy!

I didn’t know a wall could make me so happy but it really, truly does. Every other week I do my radio show from this room (the other week I’m in studio) and I find myself staring at m’stripes. I mean.... wouldn’t you? Sighhhhh....

It was a really hard week.
And so, I paint. My therapy.
They are always watching- so now, they paint too 🥰
Thank you to banyanbridges for being utterly talented, inspirational, and hysterical- completely motivating and inspiring me to continue making my house feel more and more like me. #banyanbridgesbold #nosuchthingastoomanymurals

Mural reveal day! •

I’ve wanted to paint a mural for years but could never figure out exactly what, and exactly where. But once I rearranged the house a few weeks ago, I couldn’t figure out which piece of art would work best on this wall. Then as we lived in the space my husband declared a modern barn door is NEEDED here to keep kitchen noise separated from television noise. (Coming soon!) So any and all artwork was out of the question because the wall needs to accommodate a sliding door... •

Unless the wall is art! I was inspired by banyanbridges amazing murals. I wanted to do something equally graphic, however as I played with lines, circles, and curves the idea of a giant #cairn came to me and I knew it was the only choice. •

Cairns or #balancingrocks are a meditative practice that is also commonly used as trail markers. A message from a stranger that you are on the right path. •

The most exciting accident of this mural is all the paint was leftover from other rooms. I love how they all work together and it reminded me that maybe I am on the right path of making my home my canvas.
Starting at the top: our powder room wall color (Playas de Tulum by Clark and Kensington) my husbands office color (Tea Party by Valspar) our master bedroom (Modern Gray by Valspar) the girls’ bathroom (Basket of Bobbin’s by Valspar) and finally a sample that I almost used in our kitchen (Van Deusen Blue by Benjamin Moore) I went with Hale Navy instead in the kitchen and the two navies really talk well with each other from this view. •

If you’re still reading... thank you for being here, your path is the right one, and I hope you have an amazing weekend. 😘

So yesterday the bench got done and I loved the colour combo so much I took to the walls and livened up this little corner with a mural. In case anyone is counting, that's now five murals in our house. Am I done? Who knows. I certainly don't.

Mural tips 🎨 I opened up a question box to ask people what they wanted to know about painting murals on stories last week. There were lots of questions 😆 I think I got round to answering near enough all of them, including my husband's "How many more are you going to do?" 😏 My answer is, "Never you mind, it'll be a surprise." 😂 Anyways I've created a highlight called mural tips. My DMs are always open to answering mural questions and if I can't answer you, I'll direct you to another amazing account 😁

The bathroom is done! (For now 😆) It's my second favorite room in the house.

This beautifully painted horse has a special place in my heart and the flamingos are my printer paper place holder!

It took far too long, but we finally got Penelope's aquarium running this weekend. Everyone is excited to start adding fish once the water is balanced.

Painting was inspired by a banyanbridges mural palette that I am obsessed with. #fishtanksofinstagram #banyanbridgesbold

We hope you'll follow along as we make this place over, add some personality, & hopefully become inspired to tackle a project of your own! After all - if I can do it, you can do it too! 💪⠀

Got to play around with paint colors yesterday afternoon. Mixing bits of random old paint samples and cheap mistints I picked up over the years to create this little palette was such a happy little project. Now the real project begins!
What are you hoping to tackle this week?
(P.S. you can do it!)

Stripes on Stripes. 🌈 I haven’t posted in almost a year completely unconsciously. From mostly design content to babies, and now interiors? I’m not sure what to do with this space! For now, here’s a pretty pic of Auri’s room that I’ve been working on finishing in our new(ish) home. Paint completely inspired by the lovely muralist banyanbridges

You can have a nice space with children and pets 😬 I promise! But you may have to make sacrifices and accept that some things are going to get ruined. Like the dog may chew the corner of your new skirting board in the porch. Or your newly painted kitchen cabinets regularly take a bashing. And maybe you have to make everything wipeable and washable.Tell you want busy murals do though, they hide the filthy marks really well 👍🏼😉

So if you have kids or pets or a partner/house mate that you have to frequently tell, "No don't use that tea towel, it's a actually a wall hanging", what are your top tips to keeping your house as in tact as possible?

This is the ever changing wall in our house. I started painting it in January and it has gone through several different looks before finding this one that I like better than all the rest. Might keep changing it up. But for now it is fine.

After an incredibly hectic fall involving a move, adjusting to a new house, new schools, new routines, I am officially commited to slowing down and making an effort to enjoy the season and not get swept up in the stress of it all. For me that means baking, doing puzzles, making decorations and planning meals that will make our endless evenings alone at home feel special. I'm trying to remember to put down my phone and pick up a book (or a paintbrush!) Yesterday we tackled our first real project in this house (after setting up our workspaces and building a treehouse of course #priorities ) and painted a mural on the wall of the kids playroom. The kids love it. I love it! Slowly but surely we're making this house our own. We've got a long way to go, but this fun and colourful room feels like a great place to start. 🌈 #banyanbridgesbold #retrorainbow #muralart

I picked up this orange blanket last year for a touch of fall 🍂 It ended up staying all year but it never quite felt like it belonged outside of spooky season. ⠀
⠀
A couple months ago, I added this mural and now the blanket feels nice & cozy year-round ☺️⠀

PS.. My poor plant got sunburned. Any tips for sunburned leaves, please let me know below 👇

Instead of hovering over my kids while they did virtual learning today, I stepped back and made time for some Art Studio improvements. I also learned more 4th grade math and a bit about 2nd grade Writing. We also spent a lot of time outdoors in the rain and that felt good. I made myself available to the kids but didn’t set myself up for stress.

Quite happy with today’s transformation and all supplies used from around the house +$11 spent on the 8 feet of shelving (total time spent just under 3 hours🙌🏽 🌧 now I just need some styling tips (send them my way nicolewear☺️) more footage in my story 🌧

Every time I post a video to my stories with these stripes in the background people have asked to see the full view of them! I just hadn’t totally loved them when I first painted them. BUT banyanbridges inspired me to fix that! If you don’t like it, change it! So now I’m in love with this little view after changing and repainting a few things! Can you tell what I changed?? ALSO, looking for a red/orange/yellow doormat to go right in front of the door. Holla if you find one!! #banyanbridgesbold

Our only respite from quarantine has been outside, and now we’ve been literally stuck in our house for nearly two weeks, so I thought I’d cheer it up a little.

I loathe the upstairs level of our house. I mean, I’m grateful for it, and the space is perfect because it’s just the two boys’ rooms with a big open area in between them. But the walls are that dirty, cheap off white that so many crappy rentals are painted. They’re full of holes. The carpet is a million years old and stained and like partially nailed to the walls? It’s got no baseboards.

I mean the whole thing is just a wreck. But it’s the kids’ domain and my disgust for it works out because I let them go crazy up there. I’ve never felt compelled to improve it because, ahem, have you lived with two young boys? It’s nothing but wrestling matches and literal dents in the walls.

BUT! I’ve been so inspired by banyanbridges and her murals that I figured even with the boys’ propensity for destroying things, $40 worth of paint samples and a few hours of my time would still be worth it. I bought the paint samples yesterday afternoon and was finished this morning.

I’m super happy with how it turned out! And according to Cormac, “Wow, our upstairs is a lot funner looking now!”

(Also ignore how neat this looks. It’s only half the space. Right behind me is a couch with all its cushions on the floor, and approximately one million legos everywhere.)
