Lil' Paint Project

We have a fun new little gig!  Every month we are going to do a fun & easy paint project using Benjamin Moore Paints from Mountain Paint & Decorating in Asheville.   Hopefully this will inspire some do it yourself-ers to pick up your brushes and do some refreshing!   This is our first month so our project is little (we just did it this morning) but we have some great projects coming up that we can't wait to show you.  ALSO-if you mention Turner & Co. blog you get 10% off your paint!  Here's our first little inspiration...

We dug this old mirror out of Cassie's basement this morning...

 

got some little Benjamin Moore samples

 

and here she is!  We did a little inspiration board too, we think it's cute!  

 

We are excited about our new parnetship!  Don't forget to mention the blog to get your 10% discount!

Quote of the Day...

Catching up on WWD's today I came across this quote from Sir Paul Smith

“Life on earth is not just about gain…Unfortunately, so many people equated lifestyle to luxury rather than equating lifestyle to a day that was pleasant-without argument, without aggression or the need to show off”

We've always been big fans, even more so after reading this. 
some looks we love from...
