Happy Daylight Savings!! Based on my Facebook newsfeed, there are a LOT of people who are not happy about it... losing an hour of sleep and all. But I personally look forward to Springing Forward! For me the most depressing thing about Winter is how it's dark in the evenings, making me very unproductive and sleepy. And lazy. And now it's light till 8! Hooray!On a side note, I'm not sure if  ... [ Read More ]

In the midst of a busy busy weekend, we managed to squeeze in, you guessed it, a backsplash! It's becoming a weekend staple for us! And can I just say that we're both thrilled and floored by all the business we've been getting thanks to happy customers giving us referrals! We sure didn't expect our little side business to move into such high demand! It's literally a dream come true for us to be ... [ Read More ]

Backsplash Backsplash Backsplash! It may be Monday, but who can be dragging on a day like today?! Ok, I'm annoyed with my own energy. Let's get to the point. We painted a backsplash.  It looks awesome. Feast your eyes.As you can see, Kori had this existing ACTUAL tile backsplash just over the range. And our challenge was to paint the rest of the backsplash to coordinate and compliment this ... [ Read More ]

Katie is a girl after my own heart. She has this funky orange accent wall in her dining room, visible from the kitchen. There's just something about the color orange that says, "I like to have fun!!"Katie loved the warm colors in Rick and Amy's Backsplash, but wanted to keep things a little lighter and brighter, as her cabinets are more blonde than brunette. Ain't nothin' wrong with blondes! ... [ Read More ]

As it turns out, we have a backsplash or two that never got posted before the girls made their abrupt appearance! This particular one was painted back in June... Shari is another one of our color-loving people. She loves fiestaware and everything about her home screams "I'M NOT COLOR-SHY!" So why stop at the backsplash! Here's what her backsplash looked like when we arrived.While the bright ... [ Read More ]

Rick and Amy invited us over to their beautiful home to do our thing on their backsplash. Their kitchen was already great to begin with, but the backsplash really gives it something extra!It's hard to pick out the colors in the pictures, but they went with a warm color palate of browns, burnt orange and gold. It really made the cabinets pop, and highlighted their decor!Thanks Rick and Amy! ... [ Read More ]

Mornin' friends! I'm nursing a killer headache this morning, but I really wanted to share the backsplash we painted this weekend! Ron and Vicky knew they would love a backsplash, but didn't want to drop a grand having one installed with actual tile. Luckily, before they made any rash decisions, they fell upon our website! They wanted bold neutrals with little explosions of navy and a Tuscan ... [ Read More ]

Let me start by apologizing for my lack-of-blogging lately. We've been tending to family emergencies, including but not limited to: a midnight drive to a not-so-close hospital to pick up our baby niece Kendall, and caring for Kendall for the next day and a half. Talk about a crash course in parenting! After which we immediately traveled to paint a backsplash. After which I immediately came down ... [ Read More ]

For awhile there, we were on a roll with beige and brown. This is all well and good if you're one to change wall colors and accent colors often. And/or, if you just prefer neutral colors. But we have to admit that we love when someone is brave and funky... and Andrea is just that!! She and her family recently bought a beautiful OLD house with tons of character, and you can tell they're having a ... [ Read More ]

The driving was somewhat treacherous this weekend, but with some skilled driving, we made our way over to Cedar Rapids for a little backsplash painting action. LeeAnn started out with an awkward hunter green kitchen that looked a little something like THIS:Since that photo, she's gotten busy with a paint brush and painted the walls a lovely creamy yellow color that I happen to love. So this photo ... [ Read More ]
