MAGNOLIA HOME: TURN YOUR BEDROOM INTO A SERENE ESCAPE

August 1, 2022

Our bedrooms should reflect our own personal style. Choices in accents and décor, bedding, or furniture can immediately change the feel of the space you lay your head. Bedrooms serve as the place we escape to relax and rejuvenate after a long day, so making your bedroom a haven for yourself is important. Color can play a big part of the overall vibe of your bedroom and choosing a serene color that will complement your personal style will help you feel at home.

“When you can ground a room in an understated neutral, it allows you to get creative and personalize the space with furniture, textiles, and accents that stand out.” – Joanna Gaines

Adding in other materials is a great way to add depth and texture. The wooden accent wall is colored in Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines’s Interior Wood Stain in an earthy yet warm tone, Woodsy Escape. The interior stain is available in twelve curated colors to enhance the natural beauty of your interior wood surfaces.

    Patio Transformation to Kick Off the Summer

    July 11, 2022

    A tired deck is hardly an inviting place to kick off the warm-weather season with friends and family. So don’t let another summer go by without transforming your outdoor living space into something fresh and vibrant. Cracks and splinters, stains, and mildew are sure signs your deck is ready for a new finish.

    Follow along for step-by-step instructions to transform your deck into a beautiful space for you to enjoy all summer long.

    Cleaning & Preparation: Before applying a new finish on your deck, be sure clean it to remove any trace of the old finish, stains, and mildew. After all, you don’t want tough stains like that old BBQ sauce Uncle Jim spilled last Labor Day to be there forever.

    Before shot of a wooden patio deck

    • Step 1: Use a wood stain and finish stripper to remove remnants of an old coating and follow it with a wood cleaner and brightener to neutralize the wood.

    • Step 2: Rinse the surface thoroughly with a garden hose or a pressure washer. Pro tip, use the broadest spray pattern while keeping the nozzle at least 24-inches away from the surface.

    • Step 3: Allow the area to dry for 24 hours, and sand the surface to remove any remaining stray fibers.

    Application: Use KILZ® Over Armor® Textured or KILZ Over Armor Smooth Coating to take your deck to the next level. The solid color coating was designed to cover cracks, hide other imperfections, and provide a textured, non-slip or smooth surface. It’s the perfect choice for breathing new life into old, weathered wood and transforming your deck into a stunning outdoor space that brings the family together making it the envy of the neighborhood.

    • Step 4: Stir KILZ Over Armor Coating and intermix cans of the same color to ensure color uniformity

    • Step 5: Using the newly mixed coating, fill in any cracks or holes. Next, apply the first coat using a ½” nap roller

    • Step 6: Let dry 4-6 hours, then apply second coat. Allow 24 hours before subjecting to light traffic and allow 72 hours before subjecting to full cure

    Available in several nature-inspired colors, this deck features Slate Gray. This deep hue blends well with the home’s light gray vinyl siding, black shutters, and white vinyl deck railing. In addition, the neutral gray tone of this area is the perfect canvas for new colorful accessories.

    New furnishings can always add a pop of color and give you a chance to add your own personal style. Navy seat cushions, summery striped throw pillows, and a potted rose bush add vibrancy. But, of course, you can always change out décor pending your mood or season.

      MAGNOLIA HOME: A BOLD AND MOODY BATHROOM

      March 16, 2022

      A bold color will always give your bathroom a special and unique ambiance to transform your space into a place you never want to leave.  In this moody bathroom featuring Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint, this distinguished color, Locally Grown, creates a sense of relaxation while allowing you to show off your own personal style.

      “A deep green like this creates a moody atmosphere, giving a hardworking space a sense of retreat.” – Joanna Gaines

      In this bathroom, the pitched ceilings offer a large canvas for color to anchor the vanity, fixtures, and décor. Taking the color all the way up onto the ceiling elevates this bathroom to new modern and refined heights, encapsulating the room with a fresh vibe. The featured color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line, Locally Grown, is a deep and sophisticated hunter green that is dusted with olive tones to enhance your everyday space.

      The simple yet upscale finishes, such as vertical sconces, a square mirror, bronze fixtures, and natural window treatments round out the space and compliment this bold color. Additionally, incorporating a bright white tub and classic marble-look porcelain flooring create contrast with the green-hued tile and dark green paint. Selecting a bold color for a familiar and commonly used space does not have to be intimidating. When paired with elegant and timeless décor, the space is sure to wow.

      A natural wood vanity with modern hardware adds a softness to the moody atmosphere. For a similar look, Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines offers a selection of interior wood stains to enhance the look and color of your interior wood surfaces, allowing you to choose the right stain color to match your style and compliment your paint color and other finishes.

      Inspired by this bold and moody bathroom and looking for complimentary colors for your own space? The curated palette below offers shades that complement and coordinate with Locally Grown.

        How Primer Affects Paint Color

        April 15, 2020

        Springtime and DIY projects go hand in hand, and this spring season it feels like that sentiment rings truer than ever before. With all of us staying home to practice safe social distancing we have a lot more time on our hands, making it the perfect time to tackling a DIY painting project. But before you paint, don’t forget to prime!

        While the paint’s job is all about color, the primer’s job is to prepare the surface for painting and make that color the best it can be. Even with a simple color change where you’re covering an existing lighter color with another color, it wouldn’t be advisable to paint without priming. If you paint without priming first, the end result could be a color that is a slightly different shade that the color you selected. For a simple color change from walls to furniture re-painting projects, KILZ 2® All-Purpose Primer is right for the job.

        There are also certain surface types that are extremely porous, including brick and wood. If you paint on these surfaces without priming, there is a good chance the paint will seep into the surface – and that means your color won’t be as vibrant or true as you were expecting. When you’re looking to seal porous surfaces, KILZ® 1 Standard Primer and KILZ 2 All-Purpose are both great primer choices.

        And it goes without saying that when painting over a darker color with a new, fresh-as-spring lighter shade, you definitely want to prime first. Otherwise shades like deep red will show through and change the tone of the new paint color you selected. If you’re going from a darker to a lighter color in your DIY painting project, KILZ® 3 Premium Primer has a thick, high-hide formula that is up to the task.

        Prime first for dark to light color changes!

        In all of these cases, priming before painting lessens the number of topcoats required – saving you time and ensuring your finished DIY project is the color you desired!

        Always remember to refer to our website kilz.com or product back labels for additional information on which primer is right for your project and detailed instructions on how to apply our products.

            Fresh as Spring Laundry Room Makeover

            March 6, 2020

            A fresh coat of primer and paint brings a welcome sense of calm to a room often reserved only for chores in this fresh as spring laundry room makeover. Laundry is virtually unavoidable, so you might as well enjoy the space you’re in when you’re checking it off the to-do list!

            The laundry room’s original wood cabinets felt like an endless line up of bland and boring, lacking both color and any interesting detail. A fresh coat of paint was definitely in order, but first things first… we couldn’t forget to prime! Similar to bathrooms and kitchens, laundry rooms are an area of the house often prone to excess moisture, humidity and changing temperatures – making primer an essential first step to ensure a paint finish that will last.

            For this laundry room transformation, we chose KILZ 3® Premium primer as it offers exceptional adhesion and durability, and a mildew resistant primer finish. After KILZ 3 Premium primer was properly applied and allowed to dry, we had a clean slate ready for color.

            Inspiration Content

            For a relaxed yet modern vibe we chose KILZ Complete Coat® in Bleached Cypress RG230-01, a minty green with an ever so slight gray undertone. Gold hardware added a subtle shine and much needed detail to the otherwise flat cabinet fronts, inspiring the addition of a new gold faucet and metallic pendant lights to tie the space together.

            The original laundry room was also lacking surface area to fold after the fluffing is done, with the sink taking up an entire side of the already limited counter space. The fix was both functional and uniquely attractive! Adding a dark wooden panel around the top and sides of the washing machine and dryer not only brought warmth to the space, it also nearly tripled the usable countertop area.

            A new faux-wood floor in a subtle grey shade was added to perfectly complement the new cabinet color. The final space is so pretty, it almost makes us want to do laundry!

              Prep & Paint a Porous Surface

              August 20, 2019

              As with most any painting project, prepping and priming the surface is key before its time to paint. Choosing the right primer depends a lot on the surface type you’re painting, a choice that is second nature to professional painters but can be confusing to some! When selecting a primer, the first step is recognizing the surface you will be painting and taking into account its condition – and some surfaces are trickier than others.

              In this gorgeous green bedroom, the red brick fireplace was drawing too much attention and taking away from the serene and calming feel that was desired. The fix was easy, paint the fireplace! This led us to the first step in selecting the right primer – knowing and assessing the surface that will be painted. In this case, brick, a porous surface that if not properly sealed can soak up a lot of paint. And that can cost time and money!

              Bedroom with a red brick fireplace and a sitting area with a window

              To prep this brick fireplace for painting we took a cue from the pros and chose KILZ® 1 Standard to seal the porous surface and ensure a professional looking finish. Other porous surfaces that are commonly painted include concrete, new wood and drywall. For any of these KILZ® 1 Standard or KILZ 2® All-Purpose are both great primers to choose.

              Priming a porous surface before painting ensures your topcoat will look its best.
