Choose color with confidence
Dining and living rooms before and after. We chose Miller Paint color Popular E0140 for the main living and dining rooms. To add drama we chose Mantra E0148 for the tray ceiling in the dining room and the fireplace in the living room.
Before – boring white!
Dining room with tray ceiling
Tray ceiling with darker color for extra drama.
Living room before
Rich, warm neutrals make a great room great!
Even the half-bath got a face lift using the same two colors.

Bathroom after
Kitchen
My client wanted to “de-granny” the kitchen, to make it light and bright. We chose Casper White E0157 for the cabinets and Place of Dust E0539 for the walls. We were playing off the existing grey tones of the floor and countertops.
Kitchen before
Kitchen after…what a difference!
So this is what a little color can do! Changing colors can completely change the feeling of your home. Contact me for a consultation and love your home again!

Home Colors of Bend – Part One
Northwest Crossings – Craftsman Style Home
As we look forward to the coming Spring months in Central Oregon, home owners will start thinking about painting the exterior of their homes. Instead of choosing a “safe” neutral color, think about BLUE. Yes, I said blue! Keep it on the dull side, not bright or too intense, and it will sit happily next to grays, neutrals or greens that are more traditional color choices. Be bold and go blue!
Pacific Northwest Craftsman Style – looking beautiful in blue!

Little Charcoal Dresser
Hey fans, I know you’re out there, just waiting for me to post the finished Little Charcoal Dresser. Here she is in all her glory! I say that loosely because she didn’t turn out exactly as I had planned, but then, what does in this life? I was trying for a smooth, modern look, but ended up with a little more broken-in, vintage look. I’m OK with that because I think she’s charming and I hope you do to!

Little Charcoal Dresser…progress
- Little Charcoal Dresser
I’m slowly making progress on the little charcoal dresser. Still have to work on the drawers and top, but I’m getting close!
Back and sides have 2 coats of Mudpaint but the front still needs sanding and one more coat. Then it’s time for the topcoat to seal everything in.
After much searching I found this beautiful “painted arrows” paper to line the drawers at a local gift shop here in Bend.
One more “before” photo to share with you . . . this is what the drawers look like now . . . but not for long!
STAY TUNED . . . tomorrow is BAKING DAY!!! I’m really excited to use a locally made product and add my baking to it to create something refreshing and delicious!

Rustic Nectarine Crostata
Trader Joe’s had 4lbs of nectarines for $5.49! They were all ripe at the same time so I just had to bake!
Check out the recipe for Rustic Peach and Nectarine Crostata. It was pretty easy to make, just follow the instructions and you can do this! **I only used nectarines…no peaches. Also, I added some candied Walnuts near the end of the cooking time. Yum!!!

Here we go…
first post…here we go!
This is my first painted furniture project for juniper & pine, which is my new business name, inspired by my favorite smells of Bend! I found this cute little dresser on craigslist and I’ve been sanding and painting for a week or so now. It’s getting a couple of coats of Mudpaint (more on this new paint company in a future post) in Charcoal, some teal faceted pulls and hopefully, a new owner who will appreciate all my efforts to save and make functional this handmade piece of furniture.
