{ Annie Sloan Green Door }

and after, with a base coat of AS green and a top coat of 
a custom mixture.



The green door looks much better from my foyer now.
A while back I striped the foyer ceiling,
added burlap to the walls and wallpapered
book pages to the stair wall.


I love the green in the kitchen as well.
It looks great with the blue ceiling and mocha walls.


Another AC chalk paint project , checked off the list!

{ Closet Organization }

Posted by Head Fly at 6:17 AM 0 comments
I recently gave our foyer a mini makeover with a striped ceiling. 
Which I  L O V E ! 


But this inside of the foyer closet, not so much...


Besides it was a total mess before I emptied it out.
I painted the back of the door black to match the rest of the house, and added some leftover hooks, a curtain rod on the inside of the door and hung one lower so the kids could reach their coats and some clips for mittens and what-nots.





With the colder weather and the Holidays coming, I'm happy to have one closet organized and ready for action!

{ ScotchBlue Painting Party }

Posted by Head Fly at 8:59 AM 0 comments
Welcome to the ScotchBlue™ Painting Party! You’re just in time, because you’ve entered at the start of the party! A group of fantastic DIY bloggers, including myself, all completed projects with the help of ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape with Edge-Lock™ Paint Line Protector. Now we’re giving you the chance to read all of our tutorials, gather inspiration, have fun and win prizes! Check out my project tutorial below, and then jump to the next blog in the party to see even more inspirational DIY tutorials!


I'm starting off the party with my striped ceiling in my foyer...




I'm so happy with the results.
Here's how I did it...
First I painted a base coat.


I let it dry overnight, then I made small pencil marks.
I used a triangle to draw the line from the pencil mark, across the ceiling.
(I suggest doing a small room if this is your first time striping a ceiling)


I used a level (but you could use a board or anything long and straight) to carry the line across the ceiling. 


Then, I used Scotchblue Painters Tape to tape on the lines across the ceiling.


I used small pieces of tape to mark where I SHOULDN'T paint.


Painted and ta-da!


Here's how the foyer looked before the striped ceiling...







*ScotchBlue Brand reached out to me to participate in the ScotchBlue Painting Party to celebrate the launch of their new ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape with Edge-Lock Paint Line Protector. My post represents my honest experience with ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape. I am not being paid for my answers, but I did receive ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape to assist in completion.

{ Entrance }

Posted by Head Fly at 9:36 AM 0 comments
it's not really a "Foyer", that sounds way to fancy for us hillbillys.
And, if you know us, you know that's true!
But here's what you'll see if you come to the front door of our home
{which I hope you do, otherwise you'll wind up in the Man Cave}


the burlap walled entrance, which was a big hit, and I love the look and texture of it.
And, the burlap really does hold up.


corbels, that I found at a yard sale in Chestnut Hill about 15 years ago.
They have traveled with me everywhere!


a window sign I made about a year ago.
It's the initial of our last name & the year we were married.
It's the most fabulous window trash pick ever.
They glass is a little smokey/foggy, and the paint is just perfectly chipped.
There are no grids & the handles on the bottom are authentic.


these little button cuties are easy peasy to make.
they are dollar store frames, spray painted with scrap book paper and buttons.
Simple, cute, & I love them.


A leaf plate that I just can't give up on.
I'm sure it was a Marshall's purchase from the early '90's but the look will never die for me.
{there are 2 more going up the stairs}


1950's group portraits of strangers.
But, I tell everyone it's my mother-in-law's class photo,
and my father-in-law's men's club photo.
{There's one in the powder room too
- but it's really a relative, my Pop Pop World War 1 group photo, really cool}


And this, silly, I know, but it's a light switch cover that I love more than any covers I've seen at giant retail stores. I found it at my local mom and pop hardware store, which needs to have it's own post entirely!

And that's it, welcome!
