Jolie Paint – You’ve Got This

I’m confident you’ll agree with me that the painted furniture in  fivethirty home is amazing. The colors, the smooth finishes, the details – each piece is perfection.

Could I, someone with marginal craft/design skills, take a garage sale desk and turn it into something that I would find inside that store?

Yep, I could. I did. And you can do it too. Really! Here’s how:

Expert Guidance at fivethirty home

I called Erica at fivethirty home. I was searching for a bright color – but not too bright or didn’t lean shabby chic/country. I was going for color with a pop that would add a little more atmosphere to my new work from home space (also known as the living room).  

Erica recommended Jolie Paint in Verdigris. “It has this really modern feel,” she promised. She was right. Jolie Verdigris is this fantastic green/blue that changes color with the light.

Erica packaged up the paint, clear wax, and a Jolie paintbrush. I was ready to go. Or was I?

Jolie Painting Prep
I watched Erica paint her bathroom vanity to get expert application tips.

I moved the furniture to the garage for painting, but if you’re neat, you can do this inside your house. This paint doesn’t have a smell or fumes. And you don’t have to sand. I was a little skeptical about this because the top of the desk I was painting had seen some wear.

Jolie Paint
I was worried about brush marks and making everything look/feel smooth (again, the desk had a bit of wear). I don’t have a painting technique. None of that matters with this paint.

Jolie Paint goes on like butter! BUTTER!

I applied three coats. The first coat gave me that general coverage. The second coat gave me that pop of color, and it was easier to paint. The third and final coat really evened everything out and helped me see what sections I hurried over during layers one and two. I didn’t need to worry about brush strokes – you don’t have those weird ridges as you do with latex or oil paint. Did I tell you it’s like BUTTER!?!

Paint time went quickly. Jolie Paint dries within half an hour. I just worked my way around the piece until it was finished.

Jolie Wax Finish  
The final touch is Jolie Wax . I was thinking of using a darker wax. Erica recommended starting with a clear wax and living with it for a while. Well, I’m living with it forever.

The wax application was easy. Wax on. Wax off-ish. Just like Karate Kid. The clear wax gave the overall look more dimension, a mild shine, and a very smooth touch.

Jolie Paint – You’ve got this! 

Painting with Jolie Paint is really easy. Paint. Wax. And that’s it.

Worried about starting like I was? Ask questions and dive in.

Erica has an expert eye for color and lots of pro tips. fivethirty home will outfit you with the paint and tools you need to turn that furniture find into that perfect piece for your home.

colors of the month: arabesque and farmhouse white

February 4, 2019 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Color of the Month, Inspiration, Milk Paint, News

MMSMP Farmhouse White is an antique white, perfect for when you want a little depth on your piece of furniture. I’ve been using Farmhouse White more and more, and while I’m still a Grain Sack girl at heart, Farmhouse White is winning me over. We answer questions about the differences between the two colors all the time, and my general response is that Grain Sack has just a hint of gray and is therefore a bit darker than Farmhouse White. Check out our Pinterest board for more inspiration.

Our other Color of the Month for February, is Arabesque, a soft pale pink that is part of our European Line.

A small family heirloom. Trays, baskets or bins. A throw. A piece of art that means something to you….

before & after: don’t blink!

September 12, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Inspiration, Milk Paint

This beautiful, unique sideboard we finished in MMSMP Farmhouse White was only in the store for a few days and was put on hold twice before finding a forever home with one of our favorite Fivethirty Home customers!

I really loved the lines of this piece and it was HEAVY! They really don’t make them like they used to!

 

fivethirtys new home: opening day

April 13, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: fivethirty's new home, Inspiration, Milk Paint, News

Well, we kicked it into high gear and everything was ready to reopen the store on Friday, March 16th. I was so happy that we only had to be closed for a few days. We got the place cleaned up and put up some balloons!

We received so many flowers, cards, nice notes and visitors that day. It was so special.

Check out our facebook page for some images of the store that day. I can’t fully describe how wonderful we felt as people stopped by all day to see our new home!

I feel that way everyday when we walk into the space. The history, the fun and care and blood, sweat and tears put into making our new location a destination for our customers fills me with such pride and happiness. I hope you will stop in if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet or come again soon if you’ve already been in. We look forward to many years in our new home!

fivethirtys new home: moving two blocks

April 12, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: fivethirty's new home, Inspiration, Milk Paint, News

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. When you move two blocks, you still have to move everything you own. My husband and I once moved from 6th Street to 4th Street in the Village and it was the worst move ever because we would take a load at a time since it was “on the way” to wherever we were going. I tried to learn the lesson from that move and we mostly stuck to the plan of having Carter’s move us.

They came around 8:30 on Tuesday. We had packed all day Sunday and most of the day on Monday.

 

It took about 5 hours to get everything loaded, drive the two blocks down the street and get everything unloaded.

I had a few staging areas set up to pull from as we started getting the larger pieces in place. Here is a glimpse of the small table staging area aka the paint room…

We got the place put together in a hurry and had most of the paint and supplies ready to go by Tuesday evening.

fivethirtys new home: the kitchen

April 11, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: fivethirty's new home, Inspiration, Milk Paint, News

I’ve tried to find a picture of the kitchen area as it was when we moved in, but this is the best one I can find…

Here’s what it looks like now…

We painted the cabinets in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Eulalie’s Sky and gave the walls a coat of Sherwin Williams White Flour. Lana broke out her sewing machine again and made a panel for the door and we found this awesome Mason Jar Light on Etsy.

I love, love, love how it turned out!

Up next: the two block move
