Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Updated Living Room/Office – Stikwood

March 28, 2016 our home, Uncategorized

StikwoodUpdateZevyJoy

Happy Monday friends! I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and that the beginning of your week is off to a good start.  We had a lovely time with family and lots of good food (maybe a bit too much candy – ha!).  Last week we had the opportunity to start some work on the wall in our small living room/office/guest room.  You may have recently seen this room here, or earlier here and here.  The most recent update you will see today in all of these pictures comes from Stikwood.

We used their weathered wood planks to create a focal wall. The process was quick and the application simple.  I started in an afternoon (around 2:30) and finished that evening (around 8:30).  I stuck up the pieces myself and had the help of my hubby with the cutting and sizing for necessary planks.

The wood is weathered and painted in a gray tone (called reclaimed weathered wood gray) that when mixed with our bright white decor and warm wood floors made a pleasing composition. A change that I was excited to make.  I am really enjoying this subtle update and couldn’t be happier with how doable this project really was.  I was a little nervous that it sounded too good to be true (that the wood would stick with adhesive strips and I only needed to lay it out, measure, cut the end pieces, and apply). But it really was!

One of the best parts was it didn’t involve stinky or dangerous fumes, painting, staining or sanding.  While I know those projects yield beautiful results this skipped all of those tricky steps making this project possible in an afternoon.

I placed my wood out and began the process following their easy instructions (as seen below).

Halfway through the project I couldn’t believe how fast it was going and what a difference it made to the space. Those are the backs of the adhesive strips on the floor along with an Anna picture (funny how little things show up in my photos =)).

I can’t wait to decorate this space throughout the seasons, you know I already have Christmas ideas floating around now…

I was never one to be nervous about cutting length off my hair or picking a bright nail polish and the same goes for decorating.  Sometimes it is fun to go for a grand change, embrace it and enjoy it.

That can be seen here with a wall like this or something as simple as a painted nightstand that creates a big impact.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I appreciate you being here! I’ll be back later this week – till then!

(Disclosure: Even though I received product from Stikwood these opinions are 100% my own).

    What is your wall paint color. This room looks amazing! I’m thinking about doing an almost white wall but I don’t want it to be the exact color of my trim.

    Hi! I’m contemplating doing an accent wall with Stikwood. Is it still holding up after a year? I’m worried the boards loosen from the wall over time. Thank you!

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
