Call me crazy (and about 20% of you did according

Call me crazy (and about 20% of you did according to my poll 😆) but I decided to spray paint my kitchen cabinets using @rustoleum canned primer & 2x spray paint! Why? Well, why the heck not? 💁🏼‍♀️ I had the product already & didn’t want brush strokes so I gave it a try.
.
.
The truth is, I wasn’t happy with the initial paint job of our kitchen cabinets. I skipped sanding after reading about liquid sander and in my gut I knew it was a risky move, add in a few other factors and I had to do something to make them more durable for a busy family of 5. So, a few months ago, I started the process of stripping, cleaning, sanding, priming and eventually spray painting the cabinet doors. I got a quart of paint to color match the spray paint for the cabinet boxes. I even used the same method for my bathroom vanity. This is one of those projects I don’t want to rush, I’m in it for the long haul, but I wanted to share one corner with y’all that is finished 😆

I’m happy with how smooth and durable this paint job turned out and the new brass hardware from @libertyhardwarebrands really pops against the white 😍

Swipe through to see the process and I’ll be sure to make a blog post since there’s a lot I want to share with you guys.

Bored with your decor?! Consider adding a little whimsy to your door like Erin from @liveprettyonapenny did with different shades of pink? The addition of wallpaper and fun storage baskets transforms this closet space into the happiest colorful nook!

Feeling a little more patriotic this year than in

Feeling a little more patriotic this year than in years past. She has her flaws, but there’s still no where else I’d rather live than the great USA. Happy early 4th of July 🇺🇸🌟🧨 The kiddos are going to watch fireworks tonight and then we’re off to Florida for a few days.

How incredible is this master bathroom?! It was in

How incredible is this master bathroom?! It was in one of the model homes I toured today for the Atlanta Parade of Homes 🙌🏻 .
.
If you’re not familiar with The Parade of Homes, it’s a scattered site tour of new homes in the Atlanta area that happens once a year when the @greater_atlanta_hba opens models, spec and pre-sold homes for people to tour. It’s free & self-guided; simply go to www.atlhomesparade.com and search for participating homes near you. Whether you’re looking to buy a new home or you just enjoy home design like me, it’s a great event. .
.
The remaining dates are June 20, 21, 27 & 28, so check it out. Oh, & don’t forget to cast your vote for a chance to win a patio set, HDTV and more! .

Kitchen goals, am I right?! .

Gbeke @simplicityfordesigns is a talented home blogger whom I’ve had the privilege to get to know over the past year. Her style is clean, simple, modern & bright! She’s also the first of many black creatives I want to share with you guys. .
.
Did you know that most of the home decor/DIY niche is dominated by white woman which makes it difficult for POC to grow to the same magnitude? As wonderful as it is that #amplifymelanatedvoices is trending, it shouldn’t be something that soon fades, so in the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite accounts so you can get to know them and their talents, too.
.

Each of these ladies provide a unique & diverse perspective to the table that I think you’ll love. I hope you’ll check them out, follow & engage ❤️
