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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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:
before and after: small shelf in Jolie Terra Rosa
year of jolie: french gray nightstands
As we wrap up May and all things to do with Master Bedrooms for the #yearof jolie, let’s take a closer look at these matching nightstands we repurposed in Jolie French Gray:
They were pretty before but a little outdated. Two coats of Jolie French Gray and some Clear Finishing Wax make for a great nightstand option (ahem, with storage)! Don’t we all need some extra storage? I know I do….
before and after: uptown girl(s)
Any quesiton as to why this is the color of the year for 2021? A rich, creamy ecru can make even the ugliest before look wonderful (I’m talking to you weird silver and black with a hint a green finish!).
year of jolie: vanity for master bedroom
Every gal needs a special spot just for her. A gorgeous vanity may be just what you’ve been looking for!
before and after: table in jolie noir
You know how much we love a drum table. This one is no exception – finished with two coats of Jolie Noir and Clear Wax. We even gave the hardware and feet an update with Jolie Gilding Wax in Gold. Looking good!
before and after: jolie linen pieces!
year of jolie: master bedroom tv stands
We have painted so many buffets and dressers over the years to be used as tv stands in bedrooms. Something about the extra storage is too good to pass up. Which is your favorite – to the floor with drawers or on legs with cubbies?
before and after: all the things in graphite!!
Graphite is one of our favorite color and can be lightened or darkened based on what type of wax used! These are all finished in Jolie Clear Wax.
Before and After: Bathroom Cabinet Redo Side By Side
Here’s the finished product, our cabinets re refurbished in Jolie Sage last April. They are holding up well, even in a bathroom shared by 4 boys. I highly recommend two coats of wax!
And here’s a comparison of the before and after of this project — I’m so pleased. Thanks for following along while we are #fivethirtyathome.
before and after: french blue magazine holder
What a great new look for this vintage magazine holder! Two coats of Jolie French Blue and looking good!
Before and After: Bathroom Cabinet Redo Intro
Revisiting our bathroom project from 2020…
While we are at home on #coronacation (as named by my 15 year old), I finally decided to tackle the bathroom cabinet project in the boys’ bathroom. For those of you who may not know, I have four boys aged 9-17 and they all share a bathroom. Part of the hold up, as most of you have struggled with also, was the color. I chose Jolie Paints in Sage as a soft but light, bright color because their bathroom has dark walls. Here’s a link to my introductory video where I show you the before and talk about my plans for the project. Stay tuned all week as I share the different parts of the process – painting, waxing and hardware.
