Updating an Orange-y Oak to a modern whitewash
How to Transform Orange-y Oak to a Modern Whitewash I found this cute little sign that is perfect for my command center – above the weekly calendar. I love this piece, and it’s placement, because we should all try to remember to enjoy every moment of everyday – not just the big moments or the big days!

After going through 17 shades of gray looking for the perfect color for our master bed and bath, I’m not looking forward to selecting a paint color for the long hallway that leads to our garage. However since this is a long hallway, it’s the perfect area to add a command center, and starting on that project may just give me the inspiration I need to tackle choosing a paint color again!
