Jolie Paints has a wide range of rich, pigmented colors which are perfect for a large (ahem, piano) or small pop of color!
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!
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:
year of jolie: magazine tables
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!
before and after: magazine holder in jolie cream
year of jolie: living room tables
Kicking off the month of Living Rooms with a fivethirty home staple, tables of all shapes and sizes! We chose some favorites to feature with good size and shape for fitting in between or behind couches. Buffets are great to hold TV’s also!

fivethirty at home: Jolie Varnish
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!).
