#Ad Another shot of our Chinese Porcelain dining room with @homedepot. The color was inspired as a reaction to our tech-heavy living, to offer a sense of calm and familiarity as well as create a sense of connection. And honestly, who doesn’t need those vibes going into 2020? Am I right? I’m here to empower y’all to have fun with color and make some bold choices in your spaces for the new year. And Home Depot’s digital tools like the ProjectColor™ app will help make the whole paint process super simple from beginning to end. #HomeDepotPartner

Trying out @woodwick_candles for the first time and I love their crackling wick. It feels like we have a mini fireplace in our living room and it adds the perfect holiday ambience. #WoodWick #ad

11. A quick example to how wall colour can dramatically transform your room

Here’s my living room three ways. Paint is unpredictable. Even after testing it out, it can still come out totally different. I’ve had my fair share of blahgaboo paint projects, like this first photo. Love me some pistachio gelato but did not love it on my walls. Haha. It actually looks ok here but I was not feeling it in person. I can see it work in a different space though. So then I painted it back to white and did a jade accent wall. That was really pretty but after a year I decided to start over with white again cause we got new furniture. And that’s the thing about paint, it’s just paint. I think about what color I want next cause it’s always fun to change it up!
