Jolie Paints has a wide range of rich, pigmented colors which are perfect for a large (ahem, piano) or small pop of color!
year of jolie: blue metal table
One of my favorite before and after looks were a redo of these metal tables. They were hideous. Brass and worn and just ugly to look at. A few coats of Jolie Paints in Gentlemens Blue and they are perfect for a kid’s room!
before and after: palace white on a palatial side table
This table looks small in our pictures but is deceptively large – perfect for between two couches or by a recliner!
fivethirty at home: furniture hardware tips
We are often asked how we choose to update, replace or leave the existing hardware as is. Here’s a summary of my thought process when tackling hardware on our pieces…
year of jolie: kids navy chair
This chair was cute in the red before but it was a little worse for wear. Instead of going over the old red with a new red, we decided to go with Jolie Classic Navy and some distressed areas where the red shows through. It turned out great and will be perfect for a nursery!
before and after: plant stand in Jolie Verdigris
We painted over an old red piece again! This time we used Jolie Verdigris, a nice turquoise, and sanded through to let the red show through.
fivethirty at home: easy entry table
Mona fills us in on the easiest entry table option…
before and after: lilac gray table
This sweet table would make a great nightstand in a little girls room. Lilac Gray has just a hint of lavender and a lot of gray.
before and after: we love legacy
And so do our customers! These two pieces are long gone but we couldn’t resist a look back and the awesomeness that is Jolie Legacy – the perfect gray/green/ blue!
fivethirty at home: faux greenery
If you’ve been part of the fivethirty home team for very long, you know I have a black thumb. Cannot keep a plant alive. We offer alot of faux greenery at the store in case any of our customers have similar ailments!
rifle wallpaper: wonderland
We have new Rifle peel and stick wallpaper designs and we are excited to cross-promote the #yearofjolie focus of kids rooms with one of our favorite new patterns, Wonderland! Step through the looking glass with this illustrated tableau that chronicles Alice’s adventures in Wonderland. Look closely and spot the most loved scenes like the Mad Tea Party and the Queen of Hearts’ throne room, plus Alice and the White Rabbit. The paper is digitally printed and comes in 27 inch rolls with a 20.5 inch repeat.
before and after: I gesso we like it!
We almost always recommend Jolie Paints in Gesso White to customers who are looking for an authentic, natural farmhouse white. It’s a soft look perfect for almost any style and color scheme or in this case, no matter how big or how small!
fivethirty at home: using Jolie paints as a wash
Stain, wash or pickled? Take your pick! Whatever you call it, this technique where we mix in some water with Jolie paints to get a thinner, softer look is easy! Mona tells us all about it…
year of jolie: coastal shelf
Courtesy of Jolie:
Soft neutrals, cool blues, and natural fibers are just a few of the hallmarks of coastal interiors that inspired this ladder shelf makeover.
We started by giving the shelf a fresh coat of paint in Uptown Ecru before sealing with our Finishing Wax in White. White Wax is a super easy way to highlight wood grain and carvings while creating a subtle white washed look. We wanted the piece to have a relaxed, slightly aged feel, which this finish helped accomplish.
After the refinishing was complete, an assortment of woven baskets, white ceramics, shells, and greenery completed the look.

before and after: two halves make a whole
Or something like that? We got on a kick using Jolie paints in one of our favorite colors, Gesso White. Check out these two half-round tables – very different styles but both equally as charming!
fivethirty at home: finishing doors
year of jolie: magazine holders
When we go to auctions, these are always listed as magazine holders. However, I encourage people to use them as computer or tablet charging stations. Set them up in the living room to keep all the electronics organized – and charged! Oh yeah, and you can use them to hold books or magazines too.
before and after: tables in jolie eucalyptus
If you’ve learned anything about me over the years, you know I love a green! A green-greige, forget about it…
Jolie Eucalyptus is one of those perfect color choices for a soft look that can be rustic or modern:
fivethirty at home: tinted waxes
Today’s tip is all about what to do when the application of tinted waxes goes awry! Hint: clear wax can go a long way toward fixing any boo-boos.

Another staple at fivethirty home, these tables are perfect for books, magazines, toys and so much more. Aka trough tables, they add just a touch of extra storage in unique shaped tables!
