Nah, we didn’t need to. Just made sure they were clean and applied two coats. Did the trick, and we used less than a quart of paint!

We have a wall of white built-ins with a white-painted fireplace in the middle. We are planning on painting both the fireplace, and now looking at your pics, the back of the bookcases a dark gray. Did you prime the bookcases before paining.

Haha, well we have a no swag policy so no (we like to keep it real so we turn down freebies). But it does pain me to say no to little Leroy. Maybe the answer is to troll Goodwill and get him some friends (you can spray paint anything, so the uglier the paint the better).

I have an elephant. We named him Leroy! However- he looks out of place because he has no ceramic friends.

I found this fabric since Im on a major fabric hunt right now..and I thought it would look so amazing in your room with your new built-in colors..

I love that it brings a little contemporary in with your rugged table and your traditional built-ins! Of course, you may hate them…lol..

Who knew something so simple would make such a dramatic difference.

Hey Lauren,

We saw a special with Emily in it once, but we didn’t know her show was on yet! We’ll have to look for it. We really like her aesthetic!
