The Effortless Chic

The Effortless Chic. It’s always easier to make the safe choice. It’s easier to keep your hair long rather than chopping it off, to choose jeans over a high waisted skirt, or to go with Pinterest-approved all white walls rather than a bold color. Safer, yes, but also it can get really boring after awhile, can’t it? Always wearing the same thing or cutting your hair the same way or styling your home with the same colors. When we decided we wanted to tackle a paint project in our new studio, HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams was there with plenty of bright, bold color choices. The timing also just happened to coincide with us finding the most perfect little guest house studio and thus the pink wall of my dreams was finally going to have a home!

Mellow Coral (HGSW2066) from the HGTV HOMETM by Sherwin-Williams paint collection Softer Side was the winner! I’m curious how all of you out there feel about painters tape? The moral of this story? PS. This post was sponsored by HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams. The Effortless Chic. Anyone else ever feel like a changing season brings about this need for newness or freshening up? I tackled our pantry organization this past weekend, but am scouring the calendar for time to take on my closet. Does this feel early to start talking about seasonal transitions? I’ve gone from almost no change of seasons (except the inevitable triple digit heat weekends in September in SoCal) to an 80 degree February in Austin! The weather has been so warm here that even the farmers at the farmers market say they’re going to start transplanting their spring and summer plants in the very near future. How do you like to freshen things up for a new season?

I’m a big fan of rotating pieces in and out of my closet.
