The new place is looking kinda stark so I decided to jump right in and add a bit of color to the walls. The first room on my list was the hearth room which sits off the breakfast room and kitchen.

Gives the room a bit of warmth. A little more cozy, right?

And then I had to add a little Christmas décor to the room
to make it feel like home for the holidays!

The Clark+Kensington paint just expanded their paint line! Check out your local Ace Hardware store for tons of new colors. And I also have to mention their brushes. Honestly, they are awesome and easy on the pocket book.

And since I’m an Ace Hardware Blogger, they are sponsoring a nice little giveaway on my site so you can refresh a room in your home with some new paint with their Clark+Kensington paint line! Yep, one lucky winner is going to win $100 to their local Ace Hardware so make sure you check back in tomorrow!

      Thanks Lisa! I would like to say that I use this room often, but we’re still in unpacking mode and barely get a chance to sit down 😉

    I like those curtains, did you make them?

      Purchased the fabric and mounted them to two-by-fours with velcro. Make it easy to change out or wash!
