Last week I showed you my in-law’s new kitchen, are you finally ready to see the rest of the space?!! EEEEEEEEEEEE!

First off I need to tell you that almost every piece is available from Article. I had THE BEST experience with them when I did the makeover at Aspyn’s house. Her couch so far exceeded my expectations that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on more articles. Having such high expectations,, you would think that they’d maybe have a hard time delivering a perfect 10 again but YOU GUYS. I can’t even put into words how completely blown away I was once again.

Figuring out the layout of a room can be a little tricky, especially when it’s a new space that you haven’t lived in yet. We ultimately decided that 2 sofas that face each other was the best scenario and I have to say that I’m digging the symmetry of the couches and the bookshelves.

So the couches seem like a pretty great place to start. Guys, the couches. We got the Triplo sofa in Taos Brown and I just can’t express how much I love them. They are the perfect shade of warm leather. I have been leaning so heavily toward camel colored leather (not going to lie, I love a good Sven) but these have me convinced to not lean too far. In this space with the light walls and washed out wood floors, they add just the right amount of warm depth.

When I posted about them on my insta stories I got a lot of comments asking how comfortable they are. A lot of people were worried that there was just one skinny cushion on the bottom. While they may look like that, the whole second fusion is also padding, so there is plenty of cush for the tush. And how about those metal legs?! They’re black but have sort of a mirror finish. They are freaking money.

The Nimbus coffee table is natural teak and has such pretty variation. It obviously works here with all the other Southwest elements in the design, but this table was actually meant to be used outdoors. Such awesome versatility for one table. These outdoor chairs would go great with it on a patio.

How are you feeling about the wall hanging? I scored it at a secondhand store that was closing for $150 about a year ago and I’ve been itching to use it ever since. I think its so good in here, which kind of makes me a little sad cause I really wanted to put it in the Merc. But it just belongs here, ya know?

How much are you dying over the lamp? Its the Stilt Floor Lamp  The large drum shade comes flat packed and is really easy to assemble.

Next to one of the couches we put the Ameoba side table. It’s such a great size for an end table, a night stand, a plant stand, a little table by your front door for mail. I mean, it can morph into what ever you need it to be…like Units, but wayyyy more stylish.

The Myria copper pot adds just the right amount of metal, and I love that is so shiny! Also, its only $99. So there’s that. You can also get a hanging planter version of it for $59!! And you guys know how much I love hanging succulents from the ceiling.

Tucked underneath the stairs is just doubt the most stylish reading corner that you’ve ever seen. Even when we were going over the plans for the house, we knew that we wanted to put a little chair and light underneath and I fell head over heels for the Embrace Moss chair. I mean, first of all it’s velvet, so there’s that. I am digging the matte metal legs with the more traditional shape of the chair.

The tall brass Barbell floor lamp is the icing on the cake. Its not obtrusive, it’s just there hanging out in the corner people watching and obviously feeling really happy about it.

The entryway is currently rocking a Beatles piece of art and THE MOST AMAZING FRONT DOOR EVER.

To say I’m happy about how this house has come together is like saying Mrs. Trunchbull doesn’t want anyone to eat her cake. I’m so unbelievably in love with it!!

HUGE thank you to Article for partnering up with me on this makeover. It was such a fun surprise for my in-laws especially after they endured our craziness and let us live with them for the last 9 months, goodness knows that’s not easy.

The post My In-Law’s Living Room REVEAL!! appeared first on Vintage Revivals.

We all know that one of the easiest updates you can make to your house is to update the paint, right?! In fact its always the first place that I start. But, I’d be lying if I said that picking the perfect color is easy. There are SO MANY factors that come into play. but guys I’ve tested more paint colors than I care to count and today I’m dishing on my Fail-Proof hues!!

Over the last 15 years we’ve witnessed  beige walls move into the grey territory and just the last few years it’s moving again  into whites and blacks. It’s almost impossible to scroll through Instagram or Pinterest without seeing some variation of a modern farmhouse with white walls and black windows. Monochromatic is huge, and for good reason. It’s the perfect back drop for almost every style choice. I’ve said it for years, if you LOVE color like I do, white walls give you freedom to use ALLLLLL the colors. If you hate color, chances are great that you already are on team white walls. You just can’t go wrong. Or can you?

All of the colors below are described as white. 5 out of the 6 have White in the name, and on a wooden background they all look white.

Within every color are a whole range of undertones. These are the exact same colors on a white background! I mean, that is crazy right!?

What looks white by itself can look pink next to a truer white. So what if you want just white white? No blue, green. yellow, or gray tones. Just white. Sherwin-Williams Extra White SW 7006 is your answer. It the perfect shade of true white that doesn’t come off too cool.

Black is the exact same story. True black can be hard to find right?! My go to is Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black SW 6258. It’s the perfect shade of warm true black. It doesn’t read blue or purple or brown just black. I’ve used it everywhere from my dining room walls (remember that?!) to the trim in our old house, to the workshop makeover at the Merc, to the doors at my in-law’s new house. Guys, trust me when I say it is THE BEST BLACK PAINT COLOR EVER.

What about everything in-between? I’ve so got you covered.

Iron Ore SW 7069 is my favorite charcoal grey. We used it at their new house in their office. Notice how great it looks with the Tricorn Black doors! (We also used it at the restaurant and have people asking about it all the time.)

One thing that we wanted when we were designing Alicia’s house was for the accent doors to feel special, so we went with a semi-gloss paint from Sherwin-Williams. But the thing we went back and forth on the most was what exactly to paint Tricorn Black SW 6258. Just the doors? The doors and casings? All of the trim work, including the baseboard? SO many options. Ultimately we decided to do the door and the casings black and the baseboard Extra White SW 7006.

Didn’t it turn out amazing!?? Huge thanks to Sherwin-Williams for sponsoring this post!

Hey guys!! I’ve done some digging, and loads of internet searching to find all the info and sources about my In-law’s kitchen!! Are you ready for this?

First off I need to clarify the question that I got asked the most, about the barstools. I thought that they were from HomeDepot.com, turns out they are actually from Overstock. I’m hoping you’ll forgive my oversight when I tell you that they are only $138 FOR A PAIR. A PAIR!! We got the Natural Oak with Beige fabric and didn’t spend a million dollars, so win win.

For their kitchen cabinets, the inlaws bucked the traditional painted wood in favor of laminate! The laminate is made by WilsonArt and its Black with a Lineary finish.

The low profile finger pulls can be found here, they used satin nickel for the finish.

The open shelving was made by the cabinet guys (sorry we don’t have a tutorial!) its maple with just a clear coat on it (no stain which was apparently blowing the cabinet guy’s minds a little).

How great is the backsplash tile? Its this one. Instead of going with white or grey grout, we used a dark taupe called Truffle. Guys. I can’t believe it but I think my heart of stone is softening a little to this taupey family. Not that I support it in every instance, but it was 100% the right choice to warm up the grout. Are you shocked? Do you want to disown me as your friend!? WHO AM I AND WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!?

All of their appliances are from Home Depot, they bought them last year during the Black Friday sale and saved thousands. The fridge is quite literally everything my father in law has dreamed of his entire life. He LOVES it. One side is a freezer, and the other is a fridge. The crazy thing is that it didn’t cost much more than a lot of standard fridges (about $5000) and its massive. The double oven and dishwasher are also from Home Depot.

The pendant lights are obviously the star of the show and from West Elm (and currently on major sale for $119!!)

The sink and faucet are from Elkay, you can get all the info on those here!

I can’t wait to show you guys the living room, its next!!

The post All The Nitty Gritty Specs on My In-Law’s Kitchen appeared first on Vintage Revivals.

Thanks to Elkay for teaming up with me on this project!!

After much waiting (on everyone’s part) my In-Laws are finally moved in to their dream home!! Man alive its been a process, but now that they are in I can finally start showing you how great it looks!! Let’s start with the kitchen shall we?

Did you hear that? Its the sound of angels singing!

There is a reason that the kitchen is the center of a home, and it was really important for us to make this as family friendly as possible (enter the GIANT island and never ending barstools stage left.)

In this world of white and more white kitchen designs, we did some really fun unexpected things.

The first being, we used a charcoal-colored sink!! In the sea of white quartz it stands out and adds just enough balance to the space.

This sink is from Elkay’s Quartz Luxe line. It’s the perfect size for a single basin, but if you love a little division in your sinks, don’t worry they’ve got those too.

We kind of went out on a limb ordering it because white ceramic or stainless seems to be the go to choices right now, but honestly I am so glad that this is what we went with, it is exactly what the space needs.

Both of my sisters are new homeowners and the question that they ask the most is if (and how) to mix different metals. I’m a huge fan of putting what you love in your home, and in my world that means no discrimination on metals. The lights from West Elm are brushed brass, the railing and door hardware are black, the fridge and pulls are stainless, and the faucet is chrome, but instead of feeling disjointed, it feels collected and balanced.

My obsession with this faucet runs deep. The quality of the Elkay Avado faucet is incredible, the pull-down handle is so heavy and solid.

Funny story, I’ve got a few faucets lying around and we actually had a different one installed before this one. Because of my partnership with Elkay, we were able to swap the old one out and put this one in. If you’ve ever met my Father In Law you know he’s very analytical and thoughtful when it comes to…well, everything. The other day, he very kindly approached me and asked if they got to keep this faucet or if they had to put the other one back in after I shot the kitchen. When I told him it was theirs forever he said “Oh whew, because I like this one so much better.” It was so cute and a testament to the quality that Elkay strives for.

A HUGE thank you to Elkay for teaming up with me on this project!!
