She’s an interior designer and DIY extraordinaire.
I am going to add that she is super sweet and easy to chat with.
So, remember my crazy busy week last week? Well, It was even busier than I told you about
🙂
I was super excited to have an opportunity to be able to schedule a little time on Wednesday morning
to interview Kristan Cunningham about projects you can do to easily transform a space in your yard or home even if you have just an hour to complete the project last minute before your guests arrive.
I’m on my cellphone so I sound a bit fuzzy but you can watch the interview if you like & I will also be sharing more of what we talked about and some ideas with you in another post.
‘We spend so much time and money and effort making our interiors feeling like a great representation of us and our personalities
One of the things we talked about is using paint to make impact in a room or a space.
Kristan is big fan of bold and bright colors to really make an impact.
lots of inspirations for outdoor rooms and getting them ready for the Summer.
Her go to project if you have just one project you are planning for the Summer?
Transforming the front door with paint and new accents.
Kristan has some awesome ideas for colors or accents in pots or rugs
that I just might be borrowing a couple of!
🙂
Or maybe you just want to make a little change- add a special feature or
or element to bring in to make a big impact in your space
such as a ‘Garden Moment’
Well, I am taking taking Kristans advice and putting it to work and will be sharing a couple things
I am working on and changes I am making with you shortly!
Don’t forget that I also have the Lowes Gift card Giveaway going on right now that you won’t want to miss!!

Wow! Great ideas. I've just moved 'painting the front door' to the top of the to do list. I'm really loving the amethyist. And Kristen is darling. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

Yes, Kristan is amazing…have followed her shows…She certainly gave some great tips for designing "in the knick of time"….I am going to take a tip from her and use those pops of color on my porch…My friend just painted her front door similar to the color Turbid Amethyst…using pops of yellow in the flowers and it looks wonderful…Thank you for presenting this wonderful feature of Kristan with great tips we call all use!

I LOVE Kristen Cuningham! I used to watch her on Design on a Dime all the time! She and the guys working with her were so great! Dave and Spencer I think? Sorry, been a while. Anyway, there was this one show that I was so in love with that I watched it 3 times and each time it came on, I swear I squeeled LOL! It was a redo of a woman's patio, using vintage items and fabrics (they even stained the concrete flooring). The ideas from her show were so useful and creative – I wish it was still on! I will have to check out her newest venture – thanks for letting us know about it! what a great opportunity it must have been to "pick" her brain for ideas! Hugs, Leena

I love that turquoise wall in the living room behind the fireplace. Know what it reminds me of? When you shoot a photo that is essentially black/white and add just a pop of color to it. Love that look and the room looks like that too. I wonder how a monochromatic shabby/chic/french room might look with one bolt color on a wall?

Thanks for sharing the great interview with Kristen. I love her tips for a quick visual impact in the garden and home. The eye-popping colors are wonderful! I bought an old urn recently and now I'll be looking for a pedestal! Thanks!
