Kim’s coastal bedroom | the walls & built-in plans
I spent a good part of my day today helping my parents paint their bedroom in the color I picked out, In Your Eyes by Benjamin Moore. My dad kept referring to it as “in your face.” I’m so pleased with the color, though. The room looks very sparse at the moment, but the color […]
milk paint 101 | mixing milk paint
In part one of this series, we talked about what milk paint is. Now, we’re going to get into mixing, which I think is the most intimidating part for most people. First of all, we’re not use to mixing paint, right? It usually comes in a bottle or can and it’s already a liquid. Just […]
look book two cover shoot
It was almost two years since I had my last portraits done and, with as often as I change my hair, an update was overdue! I also needed some pictures for MMS Milk Paint’s Look Book Two, including the cover, that will be coming out in just a few weeks. I thought about just having […]

The Retreat | Dining Room, Study & Foyer

Several days at home, away from the studio, squeezing work in where it fits, doesn’t get me very good blog material. Fortunately, […]
kim’s coastal bedroom | selecting a wall color
You would think that selecting a wall color would be really simple. Right? Well, if you’ve ever strolled into a paint store and picked a color based on a little chip and spent a day painting, only to realize that the color was much brighter, darker, bluer, greener, pinker, whatever-er than you thought it was […]
milk paint 101 | what is milk paint?
I’ve written a lot of posts about milk paint. In fact, we have an entire blog just dedicated to all things MMS Milk Paint. I could talk about it a lot more than I do, but I never want my readers to feel like this blog is a milk paint commercial. But when I asked […]
