What I Did This Past Weekend source This past weekend, I painted a room in Sherwin Williams "Rainwashed". It wasn't one of my rooms. source It was my cousin's master bedroom. She ordered new furniture for the room a couple of weeks ago and had planned to repaint the room before it was delivered. But a supply cabinet fell on her at her office, banging her up, breaking a rib and puncturing a lung. Which led to a collapsed lung and a four day hospital stay with a three week recovery time. No painting in her near future. Take this as a warning...its so important to make sure tall furniture is attached to the wall. Since she has been out of commission... they've been busy attaching all furniture to the walls in her office building. source So this past weekend I went over and painted her master bedroom. source None of these photos are of her home but I will show her room after the furniture comes in. This color looks more green in the can and on the swatch but looks more blue on the wall. source SW Rainwashed is a lovely color and has me thinking I should paint one of my bedrooms in this shade. Ok, I've known I wanted this color for awhile...so really painting her room was really a test run. source Yes, perfect for a bedroom. source or a living room source source These last four photos I really don't know what color they are painted officially, but they look like SW Rainwashed. I'm just loving this color on walls. It's so fresh and yet soothing. My Shabby Apple Giveaway is still going on... You get to choose which dress..... I'll choose a winner on April 15.

I'm rounding up 5 farmhouse ceiling fans that will instantly update the look of your home! All different price ranges, so there is something for everyone!
Have you ever started a DIY project that you were sure was going to end up in the trash it pile? That was me last week when I set out to up-cycle the ceiling fan in our guest bedroom. I am happy to report that I completely surprised myself and that what I expected to be an epic fail was an epic success! This post is sponsored by Fusion Mineral Paint but all thoughts and opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links- read my full disclosure here. Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Reveal Last week I was mulling over the design for this One Room Challenge and I decided it just didn't make financial sense to switch out our ceiling fan for a new light fixture. As much as I love this challenge to push me as a designer I also want to remain true to who I am- a designer on a budget! So I set out to give our plain ol' ceiling fan a modern farmhouse makeover. This makeover only took a couple of hours but I just cannot believe the transformation! Let's take a quick look at the before. I started by taking the fan blades off of the fan and giving them a quick clean using Simple Green (don't judge the amount of dust you see 🙈). Then, I gave them all a quick coat of Fusion Mineral Paint in Bedford and let them dry (about an hour). Once the paint was dry I started to apply a coat of Valspar Antiquing Wax in Dark Satin Acrylic using a rounded brush. I simply got a little bit of wax on the brush and dabbed off the excess then started to apply a thing coat. I made sure to do a thicker coat in some areas to give it the look of wood. While the fan blades were drying I took the rest of the fan down and using a detail brush gave it two coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black (Yes! It even works on metal!). This paint dries to a matte finish which was exactly the look I was going for. Once dry I reassembled the fan and had my handy dandy husband help me re-install (can I just take a second to give him a pat on the back for teaching himself to be my on demand electrician- love him!). The final touch was switching out the glass bulb covers for these industrial style cage covers. We found these in the industrial lighting section of Menard's for $2.50 a piece! You can also find them on Amazon here. I ran into a snag when I realized the cage covers did not fit inside the normal socket so I simply stretched them a bit and fit them over the place where the light bulb plugs in (really technical terminology here, haha!). The last and final touch was swapping out our regular bulbs for these fun edison style bulbs. I am absolutely in love with how this project turned out and so glad I found a way to up-cycle our existing fan instead of replacing it! I think I'll be doing this to all of our bedroom fans now :) A little sneak peek of the room coming together! Pin for later! We are only two weeks away from the big reveal and I am so excited to show you the final results of this One Room Challenge! Stay tuned next week for a fun partnership with Kirkland's! Be sure to check out all of the Featured Designers and Guest Participants completing the One Room Challenge! And check back next week for more updates before the final Reveal on May 8th! As always, Thank you for visiting R&R at home!
