#BEHRBOX CHALLENGE FINAL PRODUCT

November 5, 2016
  • Share

diy behrbox challenge giveaway

The #BEHRBox Challenge is complete! I shared “part one” last week. (If you didn’t see it, be sure to check out the full story here).  Today I’m showing off the final product. Every so often I get the bug for a new DIY project and when the opportunity came to participate in the #BEHRBox challenge I knew I needed to sign on. BEHR paints  recently debuted their 2017 Color Currents line at Home Depot so the challenge was to use at least three items from the #BEHRBox of mystery items I received, with one being a 2017 Color Currents paint sample in order to create a last minute DIY project for the holidays. I immediately knew what I would do!

From the supplies provided, I painted the boxes with a combo of two colors in Behr Paints 2017 Color Currents Collection, ‘Close Knit’ and ‘Gold Hearted’. ‘Gold-Hearted’ was the base color I applied with the Wooster Pro brush, and then I sponged on ‘Close Knit’ using the Martha Stewart sea sponge cubes for the textured finish.

Once the boxes were dry I took them to a local florist, Clementine Floral Works, and worked with the owner to design a fall-friendly arrangement using dried flowers and hearty leaves.

I love the finished product! These flower boxes are made for outdoor or indoor and will last throughout the winter months beautifully…what do you think? Easy enough for your own DIY project this season right? Looking forward to having people over at the new house and using these flower boxes to decorate my new space too….and now back to our regular house hunt debacle of 2016.

SUPPLIES

THE PROCESS

STEP 1. BASE COAT APPLIED

This is the ‘Gold Hearted’ color from BEHR’s 2017 Color Current Collection. It goes on light and dries a beautiful golden hue.

STEP 2. ADD TEXTURE!

Once the base coat dries, I went back through and applied the top coat ‘Close-Knit’ with the sea sponge cubes to create some dimension.

STEP 3. BOXES ARE COMPLETE AND READY FOR FLOWERS

The arrangement on my patio might be my favorite…it’s so perfect with the neutrals I have right now for fall.

Hope this flower arrangement DIY gives you some inspiration for the holiday season.  I am actually going to gift one to my dear neighbor JH.  She is a sweetheart who does her own DIY projects all of the time…I am sure she will appreciate these dried fall florals.

Happy Weekend!

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
