For that price, we could have gotten a brand new set but we weren’t going to do that.  So I explored the paint option and found these forums and FB groups on how to paint furniture with chalk paints.  I even attended a one-day chalk paint workshop at Station One Farmhouse that used to stock the Annie Sloan chalk paint just so I know I am doing it correctly.  The reason I wanted to use chalk paint is that it sticks to nearly every surface without having to sand, prime or do any prep work on the wood, and it doesn’t have any odor like latex paints.  It sounds amazing, doesn’t it?  And it is! To be on the safe side, I started out with the smallest piece of furniture – one of the nightstands.  Darren helped me wipe it down with plain water and get the piece all cleaned before I started painting.  After 3 coats of paint and one layer of wax all spread out in a few days, I thought it was good to go until I started seeing a hint of pink color popping up.  It started getting more and more pink by the hour, and it certainly didn’t take me long to find the issue after typing in “furniture turned pink with chalk paint” in Google.  It’s a common “bleed through” problem using light colored chalk paint (pure white in our case) on certain wood furniture especially mahogany, oak, and pine.  Upon reading up more online, I realized that with mahogany wood, there are extra steps that I didn’t do which were needed before I started painting.  First I have to use mineral spirits (not just water) to clean the furniture.  Secondly, I have to use 2 to 3 coats of clear Shellac ideally to “seal” the mahogany tannins.  Shellac has a strong odor but luckily it dries very fast.  So the 3 coats could be done all within the same day.  I still let it dry overnight before putting chalk paint over it. I find that 3 coats of chalk paint work best for our furniture because it was a very dark colored wood and I wanted them completely white.  Sometimes you may get by with just 2 coats.  It’s a personal preference and it also depends if you want some of the dark wood color showing underneath.  But no matter how many coats of paint you decide to use, you always have to finish it either by applying wax or a water-based polyurethane sealer on top of the chalk paint.  I chose wax because, with our white color chalk paint, the other sealers may turn yellow over time.  I’d much rather apply wax on the furniture a few times a year to keep it white than having it all turned yellow in a few years and have to repaint again. After learning about mineral spirits and Shellac, the rest of the pieces went very smoothly and finally I got everything painted.  Now the entire bedroom set looks exactly how I wanted… and the best part was instead of spending $4,000, I only spent $500 on all the materials!  If you are thinking of using chalk paint for your furniture and you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

To be on the safe side, I started out with the smallest piece of furniture – one of the nightstands.  Darren helped me wipe it down with plain water and get the piece all cleaned before I started painting.  After 3 coats of paint and one layer of wax all spread out in a few days, I thought it was good to go until I started seeing a hint of pink color popping up.  It started getting more and more pink by the hour, and it certainly didn’t take me long to find the issue after typing in “furniture turned pink with chalk paint” in Google.  It’s a common “bleed through” problem using light colored chalk paint (pure white in our case) on certain wood furniture especially mahogany, oak, and pine.  Upon reading up more online, I realized that with mahogany wood, there are extra steps that I didn’t do which were needed before I started painting.  First I have to use mineral spirits (not just water) to clean the furniture.  Secondly, I have to use 2 to 3 coats of clear Shellac ideally to “seal” the mahogany tannins.  Shellac has a strong odor but luckily it dries very fast.  So the 3 coats could be done all within the same day.  I still let it dry overnight before putting chalk paint over it.

I find that 3 coats of chalk paint work best for our furniture because it was a very dark colored wood and I wanted them completely white.  Sometimes you may get by with just 2 coats.  It’s a personal preference and it also depends if you want some of the dark wood color showing underneath.  But no matter how many coats of paint you decide to use, you always have to finish it either by applying wax or a water-based polyurethane sealer on top of the chalk paint.  I chose wax because, with our white color chalk paint, the other sealers may turn yellow over time.  I’d much rather apply wax on the furniture a few times a year to keep it white than having it all turned yellow in a few years and have to repaint again.

After learning about mineral spirits and Shellac, the rest of the pieces went very smoothly and finally I got everything painted.  Now the entire bedroom set looks exactly how I wanted… and the best part was instead of spending $4,000, I only spent $500 on all the materials!  If you are thinking of using chalk paint for your furniture and you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

It took us a while to find the perfect table.  At first, we were looking at the ones with drawers, but all of the ones we have seen both in-store or online are not of very good quality and their prices are also quite high.  After much consideration, we decided to also get it from Restoration Hardware since our membership doesn’t expire till next June.  Might as well take advantage of it while it lasts.  We also ordered 2 additional ottomans – one for the entryway and another one for the living room which will be ready in December as we selected a fabric that is not their stock color. We love how this console table actually matches our Balustrade salvaged wood coffee table.  They are made of the same wood and color.  The natural wood grain looks amazing, and Darren applied a coat of clear Briwax to all of our tables. No two tables are exactly the same which is what we like! Nothing beats solid wood.

We first talked to Hunter Douglas because we had their wood blinds at our Maui house and have always liked their products.  Sadly, the window sills at our new house are not deep enough for their shade brackets.  Their designer suggested that we go with their roman shades, although I like roman shades I just thought they would look too busy with our windows especially the ones already with the barn door shutters. Last Fall right when we just started looking at houses, we stopped by The Shade Store on 4th Street in Berkeley.  We briefly looked at their shade options, took their catalog and left.  It wasn’t until after we moved into the house that we decided to check out their shades more closely, so we went into their showroom in Mill Valley a few months ago and spoke with their designer. We saw the different shade options and picked up all the swatches that we wanted with us, then we scheduled for the measuring team to come to our house and measure the windows.  While finalizing our decisions on the type of shades and the fabrics, we had more questions for the designer but unlike California Closets, The Shade Store designer didn’t personally come to our house to look at the windows, so it was very difficult for her to answer my specific questions.  I had to email her photos back and forth and it took us 2 months to finalize everything. The shades were shipped to us directly, and the measuring team came to install them.  Upon installation, we noticed that the kitchen shade on the right had a black mark at the bottom, and then the bottom metal bars wrapped inside the fabric were all scratched.  Also, the upholstered valances on the top were all different – some were flushed to the window frames and some had the returns (which I liked).  The craziest thing is that nobody told us that there are different valances to choose from. Right now we are waiting for them to redo the kitchen shade and all the valances.  In the meantime, this is what we have so far.  On the whole, the shades (especially their brackets) work with our windows, but it wasn’t a very smooth experience working with The Shade Store. Here’s what our 10% white solar shades look like in our living room.  We selected 10% because we wanted LOTS of sunlight coming through the windows.  At night, we close the barn door shutters for privacy. For most of the shades, we chose the “cordless” control because it has the cleanest look and I am not a big fan of the chain on the side. We love the ceiling mount as opposed to the side mount of the brackets. Right photo: The kitchen left and right shades do have the continuous loop chain because we don’t want to bend down to the floor to lift up the shades.  The motorized control would have been nice, but it’s super pricey plus we have to change the batteries on top of the shades at least once a year, and we are afraid of losing the remote control!  🙁  We selected the 1% solar shades for the kitchen because we needed more privacy on these 2 sliding doors. The upholstered valance with the return is my favorite.  It gives the window (and sliding doors) a more complete look, plus it also covers the bracket and the roll. The dining room also has 10% solar shades.  We chose solar as opposed to other fabrics because we spend the most time in these areas and would like UV protection as well. For the window outside our walk-in pantry, we picked light filtering roller shades. The windows by the stairway also have light filtering roller shades.  These 2 left windows have the continuous loop chain control as they are more difficult to open with the cordless control. As you can see, the upholstered valances of these stairway windows are all different – the 2 left ones are flushed, the 2 right ones have the return.  They will have to replace the left ones with the return. It looks so much better with the return, doesn’t it? We already upgraded our master tub window from a clear window to an obscure one, but Darren still wants additional privacy 🙂 so we added the light filtering shade.

Our designer, Abbe Miller, was great.  She took a look at both of our closets and then based on what I told her our lifestyle and needs are, she measured our walls and sat on the floor in my closet with me and started working on the rendering of our closets.  Within minutes, we were able to see what our future closets would look like and how much it would cost.  It was amazing! We also scheduled a separate appointment with a local closet company just for comparison in products and price, but California Closets was running a summer special for the light color finishes (which we wanted anyway), so we got a really good price for the LuxeMatte collection. Their installer was super busy and it took almost 7 weeks from design to the actual install.  It took 2 installers an entire day (8 hours) to finish both closets, and the closets so sturdy and pretty!  We LOVE them! The designed added partitions for my purses! And I have scarf racks on both sides of the closets – one for summer scarves and one for winter!  🙂 They pull out on either side for easy access! Darren has 2 coat hooks instead of a full shelf for shoes (‘cuz I just have too many pairs)! And he has pull-out belt/tie racks instead of my scarf racks! We are so happy with how the closets turned out.  The shelves totally maximize the space and make everything super organized… exactly how I like it!  🙂

We saw these 54-inch Hunter ceiling fans at Costco many months ago.  Just like our Samsung refrigerator, I have been keeping an eye on them and the price every week to see if they would go on sale.  Finally, back in June, they went from $139.99 each down to $60.00 each!  The new lower price was handwritten on the tag, so I asked the manager if they truly were $60 each or if I misread it.  The manager replied: “Yes, they are $60 each!  We are trying to move this product quickly.”  So Darren and I grabbed 3 of them that day.  I was going to grab the 4th one for my study, but it seemed like a pretty big fan for my smaller office. We love these fans!  Not only do they add a nice “farmhouse” feel to the house, they also help circulate the air on those warmer days.  We hired an electrician to install them a few days before we moved in.  It worked out great because there was no other furniture in the house except for the couches. We have used them a few times since we moved in, but didn’t realize that our youngest cat, Sidney, is actually deadly terrified of the fans especially when the blades are moving.  So now we have to use them when he’s not in the room.  I hope he’ll get used to them soon, but luckily the insulation at our house is AMAZING, and we barely need to turn on the A/C or these fans.  Here is the one in our formal living room… And here is the other one in our upstairs loft… I finally found a slightly smaller fan for my study, but it also has the wooden blades with different farmhouse lights to tie in with the rest of the fans in the house!  We absolutely like the look of them.  What do you think?

We saw these 54-inch Hunter ceiling fans at Costco many months ago.  Just like our Samsung refrigerator, I have been keeping an eye on them and the price every week to see if they would go on sale.  Finally, back in June, they went from $139.99 each down to $60.00 each!  The new lower price was handwritten on the tag, so I asked the manager if they truly were $60 each or if I misread it.  The manager replied: “Yes, they are $60 each!  We are trying to move this product quickly.”  So Darren and I grabbed 3 of them that day.  I was going to grab the 4th one for my study, but it seemed like a pretty big fan for my smaller office.

We love these fans!  Not only do they add a nice “farmhouse” feel to the house, they also help circulate the air on those warmer days.  We hired an electrician to install them a few days before we moved in.  It worked out great because there was no other furniture in the house except for the couches.

We have used them a few times since we moved in, but didn’t realize that our youngest cat, Sidney, is actually deadly terrified of the fans especially when the blades are moving.  So now we have to use them when he’s not in the room.  I hope he’ll get used to them soon, but luckily the insulation at our house is AMAZING, and we barely need to turn on the A/C or these fans.  Here is the one in our formal living room…

And here is the other one in our upstairs loft…

I finally found a slightly smaller fan for my study, but it also has the wooden blades with different farmhouse lights to tie in with the rest of the fans in the house!  We absolutely like the look of them.  What do you think?

But the most exciting thing is that our new counter depth Samsung refrigerator with the 4-door flex zone and food showcase is finally delivered and installed.  This whole time I was so worried that our cabinet space is not big enough as this fridge is slightly taller than most refrigerators.  I have measured the space and the refrigerator itself (at all the home furnishing stores) so many times and knew it should fit, but it’s not until they deliver it that you know for sure.  Needless to say, it was a relief when I finally see the fridge in its space. Although some of the interior fridge spaces we have to get used to because of the ice machine and water dispenser which we didn’t have with the other fridges we have been using, now that we use this fridge every day, I am loving it more and more each day.  It’s such a great idea to have the fridge delivered prior to our moving day.  That way when we transfer all the cold food and freezer food, we already have a space for them at the new house. And for our existing couches, we knew we wanted to keep them because they are so comfy and they are still in very good shape, but the old color (olive green) just didn’t match our new “Modern Farmhouse” decor.  So instead of getting rid of them entirely and buying new ones, we talked to the sofa manufacturer in Los Angeles and they recommended that we select our new fabric at Harvest Furniture where they sell their sofas.  The process was such a breeze and then we scheduled them to pick up both sofas from our old place at the end of June, and 4 weeks later when the reupholstery was ready, they delivered them to the new house right before we moved in.  The timing couldn’t be more perfect! The fabric came out beautifully and we love it because they are stain resistant and very low maintenance.  Of course, Darren is banned from eating on the couches now, but he could still enjoy them AFTER he eats!  🙂  Here is how the new couch looks in our formal living room… This new upgraded fabric has a linen textured feel to it.  Doesn’t it look gorgeous?  So far, the cats haven’t scratched on them yet… fingers crossed that they never will! The loveseat used to be part of the living room sofa ensemble, but because of the current layout of our floor plan, we have a little more room upstairs in the loft so it’s with the other lounge chaise and ottoman.  Since we used the same fabric and color for the reupholstery, they go well together and look like a set (I specifically planned it that way).

The last 7-1/2 months went by very quickly, and it’s been an amazing journey witnessing our house being built each step of the way from the ground up.  I love every part of this journey, but my favorite has to be choosing all the selections (including upgrades) for the house at the design center.  It’s so gratifying to see all of our choices all installed at our house. I love the elevation that we selected… it truly has the farmhouse feel!  If I had a choice, I would paint the entire house in white but the HOA has its guidelines and out of all 3 elevations, I still like the colors of ours the best. Here is the front entrance, my study and the powder room (on the left)! My study on the ground floor… The powder room… The wood look tile floor on the ground level is looking very nice and it keeps us cool in the summertime time! We are doing something exciting to those windows in the great room… stay tuned! Eagerly awaiting our Samsung refrigerator delivery this Saturday to fill that empty space in our kitchen! So in love with our backsplash and quartz kitchen countertop!  I think we have enough outlets on the wall!  🙂  There is also under cabinet lighting! Our upgraded kitchen… can’t wait to start cooking and baking here! The cooktop looks so clean right now! The hood installation is finally completed.  It looks great and is exactly how we want it. This undermount stainless steel farmhouse apron sink is slowly growing on me now! We have carpets on the stairs! And we have the drain pan for the washer and gas hookup for the dryer in the laundry room upstairs… Really loving our cushy carpet upstairs… now I can lie and sit on the floor again (hence no shoes allowed in the house).  YAY! Our upstairs loft is looking great… it will be our 2nd living room with the TV and media table over by that wall. The guest bathroom is looking very nice! The guest bed frame and nightstands will be going in this Sunday, but we still need to buy the mattress and bed linens though. The closet in the guest bedroom… One of the other bedrooms will be Darren’s office! The closet in Darren’s office… Master bedroom – the 7-drawer dresser will be put against that wall, in addition to a floor length mirror which I am still looking for.

This is my sink and vanity cabinet… And that’s Darren’s!  It’s so nice that we don’t have to share a sink and drawers ever again.  We totally missed the “his” and her” vanity cabinets + sinks from our Maui house. That’s our master shower on the right… Ahhh… can’t wait to take bubble baths (and read) in this tub! A closeup of our master bathtub.  No, we did not upgrade to the jacuzzi tub… as Darren says: “Just one more thing that would break!  Let’s keep it simple!”  Hahaha… View of our upstairs loft from the bedrooms… There are A LOT of windows at our house! View of kitchen, great room and dining area from the stairs!  Don’t you just love those wood like tile floor?  They are so perfect for us and the cats! That extended kitchen island is so awesome!  Now I have space to bake and prep food.  We will be getting 2 counter stools so we can also eat at the island. This is it, guys!  The next time we blog, we’ll have the keys to the house and hopefully, have some photos of the new fridge to make the kitchen 100% complete.
