Magnolia Home: Relaxing Rose-Hued Bedroom
January 14, 2021If you think pink walls are just for children, this rose-hued bedroom painted in coordinating shades from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line just might make you reconsider. Soft and neutral, the two-toned pink walls give this bedroom a modern yet relaxed feel that is perfectly complemented by the room’s light wood floors. Nature-inspired accents and understated bedding complete the space.
“These muted, rosy colors add an airiness to the room that is beautifully drawn out by the natural light pouring in.” – Joanna Gaines
If you’re considering adding a pop of pink to your own home, the two timeless shades in this room are a great place to start! The vertical skinny-lap wall is painted in Ella Rose, a classic pale pink that will forever be in style. This particular pink is one of 25 colors in the Market Collection, a palette personally crafted by Joanna Gaines. The coordinating, whisper-pink paint on the top wall is Antique Rose. Another hue from the Market Collection, Antique Rose is a delicate ivory shade dusted with pink and yellow.
The Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines paint line includes 150 timeless colors curated by Joanna, making it easy to find a shade that’s perfect for your home. And if you love the colors featured in this bedroom, you’re sure to love the palette of six colors below that was created around these pretty pink hues.
Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines paint is available at select Ace Hardware store locations, and online at AceHardware.com and Magnolia.com.












Mid-Century Modern Master Bedroom
January 13, 2021An otherwise airy master bedroom is marred by smoke-stained walls, made worse by an unpleasant lingering odor. A much-needed transformation starts with KILZ® Original primer, featuring a powerful stain and odor blocking formula that is the first step in taking this master bedroom from dreary to bright.
Simply painting over stained walls will likely leave you with unwanted stains and odors seeping through, which is why starting with the right primer before painting is key! Trusted by pros for over 40 years, KILZ Original interior primer is formulated to block most heavy interior stains including water, smoke, tannin, ink, and more. It also seals pet, food and smoke odors and has excellent adhesion properties, helping paint better adhere to most interior surfaces.
The new white master bedroom walls are the perfect backdrop for the mid-century modern bed (an existing piece of furniture that looks almost brand new in the freshly painted room!). New grey-blue side tables with gold hardware are complemented by gold light fixtures, a colorful rug, soothing artwork and soft pillows that add a perfect pop of color.
Do your bedroom walls need a fresh coat of primer and paint? Read on below for step-by-step instructions!
Step 1:
Wipe down walls with a damp cloth to ensure they are clean and free of dust. Allow to dry.
Step 2:
Tape around the baseboards and moldings with painter’s tape to ensure you don’t get primer or paint where you don’t want it!
Step 3:
To seal and block smoke stains and odors, apply 1 coat of KILZ® Original (stirring thoroughly before and occasionally during use) to the walls and allow to dry. Apply primer using a brush first to “cut in” around the edges, then use a roller to fill in.
Step 4:
Once primer is dry, apply Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® Interior Paint in Pearly Cotton using the same application method as the primer (using a brush first to cut in around the edges 4 to 6 feet at a time, then use a roller to fill in those sections before moving along).
Step 5:
Remove the tape before the paint is fully dry.

Dining Room Debate: Light or Bright?
August 11, 2020Is your dream dining room serving up pops of bright color, fun fabrics and fixtures? Or perhaps neutral tones and coastal inspired textures are your preferred dining room design menu? That is the question of this post, as we look at dining rooms styles from light to bright. No matter your style, we’re pretty sure there is one you will love!
Our dining room debate arose as we started a project to refresh an adorable dining nook. We knew we wanted to take the walls from the current dirty brown shade to an airy white hue, so first it was time to prime. To cover the light brown paint color, we chose KILZ 2® All-Purpose primer. This water-based primer offers excellent adhesion and easily covers light to medium colors. After properly priming the walls (and allowing them to dry!), we top coated with KILZ Complete Coat® Paint in White Wing. This sugar white shade has a cotton underdone and appears as a soft white in most light. For full step-by-step directions on covering both light and dark paint colors head over to our post Pro Tips for Painting Over a Dark or Light Wall.
The fresh white walls created a perfect blank canvas that could easily be the backdrop for a variety of color palettes. Inspired by the existing table and chairs, we started with a California Casual design style and played with neutral tones and textures. A new jute rug under the table anchored the space, while a fun basket-weave chandelier, sea-glass colored vase and ocean-inspired accessories completed the look.
Next up, it was time to turn this style on its head and go from light to bright! We brought in a bright white table and chalk-painted blue wooden chairs and an over-sized teal rug. Striped cushions and colorful brightened up the dining bench, while an array of three playful chandeliers came together to create a fun statement chandelier.
The newly primed and painted walls were the perfect backdrop for these two design styles, proving that white walls are far from boring. From bold and colorful, to sophisticated and neutral, the right white shade on your walls can open up a space to a myriad of design possibilities. Which style spoke to you?
