office progress, new colors & bedroom fabric

I’ve still been busily working on my house. It’s been so therapeutic for me. I’m even getting on top of the laundry and keeping my counters cleaned.

the wonders of hemp oil

I made a video tutorial on using Hemp Oil a few months ago (you can find that HERE.) Yes, Hemp Oil is a great top coat for Milk Paint or other porous paints (flat latex, Chalk Paint, flat acrylic), but it’s also amazing at reviving and hydrating old wood and even metal. I traded for […]
