I truly believe this is the best paint color and l I truly believe this is the best paint color and lamp combo in my home. It makes me SO happy 😍 Now to reupholster the chair 😉… What color do you think it should be?? Paint - Benjamin Moore Stonybrook 1566 Lamp - @crateandbarrelme @crateandbarrel
Wanna know how to get a Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Wanna know how to get a Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams paint color even when they don’t have a store in your area? If you don’t have a sample to color match, I usually go to a local paint store (I like Jotun’s quality) and ask them to look up the color code/number and paint company in their system. Their system usually gives a drop down list after inputting the number (1566) and then you can choose the paint company (Benjamin Moore) from the list! The name of the color (Stonybrook) is also listed if they have it in their system. Now not all companies may be able to do this but if you ask around at various shops, you may find one that has a larger database and can make your paint color for you 😉 Good luck and save this post just in case you need it!
It’s been a while. But breaks are needed. It alw It’s been a while. But breaks are needed. It always leads to better design anyway ☺️ Nail color - Luminous Peace by Kinetics I use the brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe by @halfbakedharvest Restaurant - @sushisambabahrain
My dining room chandelier is finally up after mont My dining room chandelier is finally up after months of waiting for my hack to come together! The DIY skills in me just had to come out to make it happen. And now it’s almost exactly what I wanted but for a LOT less (music to my ears 🎶)! The shade is from @palmlane.me and the rest of the pieces are from @amazon - I’ll tag them all in my stories ☺️
Gardens take time… I’ve been trying to finali Gardens take time… I’ve been trying to finalize a garden design for 5 years now, and after coming up with a plan that I loved, I’ve now been working on implementing it for about 3 months. And it’s still not done... I have a palm tree that’s about to die and will probably need to be replaced, I’m waiting on some more lighting, and I can’t seem to find the right plants for some of these spots 🤦🏽‍♀️ But here’s a preview anyway cuz it makes me so happy to see progress 🫶🏼 And I’ll get to enjoy it for our long weekend!! Happy Saudi Founding Day!! #foundingdaysaudiarabia #gardensofinstagram #gardenstyle
