Small Project, Big Impact:

The Finalized Flowerpot

Sometimes you seek out a project; sometimes a project finds you. And Dilara’s house-number flowerpot is a perfect example of the latter! She wasn’t looking for a new weekend project, but when she saw the flowerpot discarded in the brush, she knew she could make it into something fabulous.

With just a little elbow grease, a small vision and a few hours spent in the afternoon sun, Dilara was able to transform this forgotten piece of pottery into a memorable accent for her front porch.

Supplies:

You know that saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure?”

Well, in Dilara’s case, it really was! One afternoon while she was taking care of some early-fall yard work, Dilara discovered a forgotten flowerpot in her neighbor’s overgrown garden. She was already looking for a way to make her house stand out and thought adding a fun punch of color to this flowerpot could do the trick. She asked if she could have this grown over find, he said yes, and the rest is (soon-to-be) history. 

A Primary Color Decision: The Wrap Up

When someone works in design day in and day out, you better believe their home will be a reflection of their work. This primary-colored room highlights Kirby’s eye for design and color know-how, but still feels perfectly at home!

You might not want to paint your own home such a bright color, but with a little thought and reaching into your own aesthetic, the color you choose can really pull everything together and make it your own.

Great Friends, Gorgeous Garage

When you’re young and just starting out on your own, your biggest ask of your friends is to help you move to a new apartment. Once you’re a little older and have your own house, the ask gets a little bigger—like helping you paint your garage! That’s what Cole did. With nothing but the promise of sunshine, snacks, soda (we’ll call it “soda”) and some company, he got the gang together for a few days of painting.
