The 3 Ingredients to Our Nook Refresh (+ a Giveaway!)

We’re so excited to share with you our nook refresh today! Out of all the rooms in our home, maybe this has seen the most amount of changes? When we first toured this home (6 years ago this month!), it was royal blue. After much debate, we painted it a sage-ish green. And not too long after that, we nixed the green in favor of a deep navy. We were happy, at least for a little while!

I’ve mentioned this before, but after Lucy, we kicked it up a notch around our home. The home that had been working so hard for us and our pets no longer felt like us. This makes sense; our lives had just encountered a momentous shift, and in turn, so did we. We love changing things up (okay, we thrive on it!), and we’ve had a lot of fun fine tuning our home in the last year-and-a-half. It feels more like us than ever before, and we’re madly in love with this place we call Home. There are other small tweaks we’ve made in the last few weeks alone (and I guarantee they won’t be the last), but today, I want to focus on our funny little nook!

It’s tiny; maybe less than 7′ square? There’s a slope to the ceiling because it’s under the stairs, and there’s a bump out to accommodate a coat closet on the other side of the wall. Scott and I couldn’t love a small space more (give us all the small spaces!), and it’s a challenge we gladly accept. Over the years it has functioned primarily as a reading-slash-music nook, but most recently, it transitioned into a sweet and accommodating play area for Lucy! Below, I’m sharing the 3 key ingredients that turned it up a notch and made it feel complete.

1| Surrendering to the Subtle Color Shift

Do you notice the subtle color shift? We embraced the navy walls for years (Ben Moore’s Narragansett Green), but the light in the room has always been very cool to begin with. At certain times of the day, the color felt very, very blue, and while that’s not a bad thing, we didn’t love it. For the last two years or so, we convinced ourselves that we were fine with it, but after painting the guest room BM Kendall Charcoal, well, we knew it would be very fitting in the nook, too.

Because the light is so cool to begin with, the warm grey does take on a slight blue tint in the late afternoon, but it passes quickly. The rest of the time, it reads as a true medium grey, and every now and then, it may even lean slightly green. (The color is a chameleon in the best way!)

There are a couple of added perks to painting the nook – and in turn, any small room – dark. For us, it ties into our whole home color palette, and it’s one less can of paint to store in our workshop. Ha! The other reason? I think there’s a misconception around dark paint and the tendency to make a room feel small(er). Because our nook receives a good amount of natural light, we knew it could handle a bold, moody paint color. Not only that, the dark paint helps the walls to recede, making the room feel much larger.

2| Painting the Ceiling the Same as the Walls

No one says you can’t paint the ceiling the same color as the walls! Because of all the angles in this room, it made a lot of sense. Up until now, there was an L-shaped sliver of white ceiling paint, which looking back, was a visual distraction. Now? Aaah.

Now that the entire room is Kendall Charcoal, everything flows seamlessly. The gunmetal finish on our record storage and nail art (which recently moved in here from the workshop) only helps to keep the eye moving. The low contrast creates a space that envelops us; it feels warm and safe.

3| Layering In a Statement Art Piece

The biggest shift was this large statement art piece from The Holly Collective! At 3′ x 4′, it’s large scale, and it is stunning. Breathtaking. I worked with Victoria, the artist behind The Holly Collective on the appropriate size for the space, and after debating between a handful of works, we landed on Stripes I in ivory with an oak frame. Although a single, subtle color, the mix of high gloss and matte, smooth and textured lines, creates a piece that’s anything but ordinary. There’s a playfulness and a sophistication all at once, a look that’s crafted from gesso and plaster. It should come as no surprise that Victoria’s art is an extension of her interior design firm, Victoria Holly Interiors, because the girl knows color! Mauve (the mauve!), slate blue, chocolate and black – any one of her works would make a gorgeous addition to a home.

The art we hang on our walls varies from high to low, family portraiture to student work, thrifted finds to original paintings. We think a well curated art collection is even more special when you can add a piece that speaks to you, when you can have a conversation with the artist, and when you know it’s something that will be enjoyed by you for a lifetime. This is one of those pieces.

We’re excited to share that The Holly Collective wants you to own one of her works, too! Whether you’ve been looking for the last puzzle piece to your gallery wall, a happy moment in your family room or an unexpected pop in the powder room, we think you’ll find it with a work by Victoria. It’s our small way of saying thank you! Thank you for reading, cheering us on and being a part of this amazing home loving community. And so together with The Holly Collective, we’re giving away an 8″ x 10″ painting of ​​​​​​​Riptide in a beautiful oak frame! Painting includes artist signature.

    Her art makes me want to plaster/texture an entire wall! I’m working on a gallery wall (but still fear hanging at this point) of art in a space I’ve finally decided to make into a reading nook in my bedroom. It is long and goes to the dormer window. Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyCancel

  • Octevia5.28.19 - 7:21 AM

    I would style artwork from @thehollycollective either in my dining room or my living room. I have high ceilings and there is currently no art on the walls (because I haven’t found something that was affordable and that would fit w/ the decor in my place), so this would be a HUGE help to make my apartment feel more like a home. And even better that the pieces from @thehollycollective are STUNNING, so that would be perfect for this to be the first artwork to bless my walls!ReplyCancel

  • Susan S5.28.19 - 7:41 AM

    Love the ceiling painted to match! We have a long narrow spare bedroom on the second floor that also had a slanted wall/ceiling the entire length. Painting a white ceiling would have been either a skinny strip or that strip plus the whole large slant… OR match the walls! We tried all 3 and went with the wall color like you. It looks great and opened up the narrow room. Thanks for the lovely give-away; I have a room that needs some light contrast!ReplyCancel

  • melissa5.28.19 - 7:44 AM

  • Stacy5.28.19 - 8:39 AM

    What are your thoughts on painting a room with NO natural light a dark color? I have a laundry…hallway…that’s essentially a pass-through from my house into the garage. It’s the most interior room in the house, so there’s zero natural light in there. I have the washer and dryer plus a wall of all white cabinetry on one side, and I was originally intending to paint the opposite wall a warm white to match. But I’ve recently been playing with the idea of painting that wall black (like my heart). Would you say this idea is very good or very bad?
    That painting would look great on a black wall, is what I’m saying…ReplyCancel

    • Kim5.28.19 - 7:11 PM

      I think that’s a great opportunity to do a wall treatment (like board and batten or beadboard) on the bottom half, and paint the upper part of the walls black! Could look really stunning. I think the key is always lighting – whether natural or not – so in your case, it may be an opportunity to add recessed lighting or a globe light that can direct light 360-degrees.ReplyCancel

  • Carrie Buell5.28.19 - 8:54 AM

    Love the new color! I’d put this artwork in either my kitchen or hall. ReplyCancel

  • Alison5.28.19 - 9:37 AM

    Oh gosh! I love this little nook. Painting the ceiling was the right choice, and I’ll admit, I’ve been one to pick a paint color based on cans already in my basement (ha!). It’s so much easier to touch up later or remember what’s where.ReplyCancel

  • Hannah Gokie5.28.19 - 9:43 AM

    We’re in the process of updating our very plain basement, and I’ve been on the hunt for good art to work into it. This would be perfect!ReplyCancel

  • Catherine A.5.28.19 - 9:49 AM

    Kim, I have a very small room as well and have been stuck in the dark versus light paint dilemma. Do you think the tip on dark paint and ceiling the same color would apply to a room with wainscoting? My small room is a perfect rectangle and has wainscoting all around. It gets a ton of light from too large windows and has high ceilings, but the wainscoting is also tall, adding a lot of white. I am stuck on whether to go all light and bright or moody and dark on top. Help! ReplyCancel

    • Kim5.28.19 - 10:10 AM

      Oh, wow, going dark on the walls AND ceiling above the wainscoting would be absolutely stunning! That would be my pick. :DReplyCancel

    Holy smokes, this is the most perfect giveaway!! We’re in the final stages of finishing a full bathroom remodel (shout-out to your fab tip on foam rolling paint onto doors!), but it’s missing a final… something. The colors are gorgeous (marble, gray tones, white subway shower, hex tile floor) but the beautiful swatches don’t feel like we actually *live* there! I’ve got 2 amazing spots I’d put this — but I’m trending towards just inside the bathroom, above the light switch and to the right of the mirror. It would reflect through the whole space, providing a bit of texture and and warmth. 
    Thanks again for offering this giveaway! These works are gorgeous!!ReplyCancel

    This would be a perfect addition to our gallery wall in the living room. I love the beautiful texture!ReplyCancel

  • Monica5.29.19 - 8:35 AM

    This is so beautiful – I’m sure I could find a place in my bedroom for this artwork!ReplyCancel

  • Sara5.29.19 - 9:12 AM

    This would definitely go in the front entry way!  The texture is perfect.ReplyCancel

  • Melanie D.5.29.19 - 9:17 AM

    I’ve always loved your little nook! Thanks for introducing a new artist to me -I’m always on the hunt for beautiful new works. Would love this for a living room makeover. ReplyCancel

  • Danielle5.29.19 - 9:25 AM

    We are very slowly furnishing our first house, and the thing I have missed the most is artwork! I would love to put this in our study and complete the first room we’ve tackled!ReplyCancel

  • Katrin A Onder5.29.19 - 9:57 AM

    An addition this beautiful would need to be front and center in the living room- where we spend all our time and host guests.ReplyCancel

  • Kristin P5.29.19 - 10:37 AM

    I’ve been trying to find two more pieces for our gallery wall in our dining room – a work from the Holly Collective would be the perfect complement! Fingers crossed!ReplyCancel

  • Sarah5.29.19 - 12:53 PM

    Absolutely adore the texture in this painting. Recently moved into my home last fall and the one thing I would say that is missing is beautiful artwork to really make the space feel like home. ReplyCancel

  • Nicole Jaros5.29.19 - 1:22 PM

    I’d love to add this artwork to our living room ReplyCancel

  • Terry L.5.29.19 - 1:31 PM

    Such a beautiful painting! Simple yet so much depth. My boyfriend and I are moving into a bigger space with much needed natural light. A painting like the only from Holly Collective would be a beautiful addition to our open space and natural light homeReplyCancel

  • Amy5.29.19 - 4:19 PM

    It’s gorgeous!ReplyCancel

  • casie b.5.29.19 - 4:29 PM

    where wouldn’t I put it? seems like the chameleon of artwork :)ReplyCancel

  • Carolyn Hamilton5.29.19 - 7:31 PM

    Definitely in our master bedroom. it needs some loveReplyCancel

  • Marie5.30.19 - 2:48 AM

    In love with the textures of the shown paintings, I’d love to give it a home in my sunny living room :-)ReplyCancel

  • Meghan J5.30.19 - 4:44 AM

    You know, I would never have thought about painting the ceiling! We have a very small separate toilet with Bright! Green! walls (thanks former owner) which we are painting white at the moment (because being in a very small Bright! Green! room is…off putting.) but I love the idea of making it one single solid colour when we decide on actual wall colours. 
    (Also, how exciting to have a world wide competition; I know why they are often limited but it’s very fun to actually be able to throw my hat in the ring!)ReplyCancel

    • Meghan J5.30.19 - 4:53 AM

      d’oh. Perhaps finish sentences, self. And every  room deserves a nice piece of art! The Bright! Green! really distracts from anything though so that toilet remains artless but would definitely be a possible future home for that lovely piece.ReplyCancel

  • Jen5.30.19 - 8:33 AM

    I have the perfect spot in our bedroom!ReplyCancel

  • Cassie5.30.19 - 2:59 PM

    This is gorgeous guys! Way to hit it out of the park with the wall color!ReplyCancel

  • Anna5.30.19 - 6:11 PM

    Her pieces are just so gorgeous! Subtle, and yet full of movement and texture. I can see them being a great addition to just about any space.ReplyCancel

  • Ash5.30.19 - 11:00 PM

    I would definitely love to see this in my home! Maybe in my entryway. ReplyCancel

  • Katharine5.31.19 - 11:18 AM

    This would be great in a the gallery wall over my piano! ReplyCancel

  • Alexandra5.31.19 - 11:37 AM

    We desperately need some really great artwork for our bedroom!ReplyCancel

  • Sandra Guilbault5.31.19 - 1:00 PM

    I’m not even kidding that if I won this, I would totally repaint my room in a dark moody gray inspired by your nook!ReplyCancel

  • Meg5.31.19 - 1:13 PM

    The new color is beautiful. Riptide would be a wonderful addition to our entryway!ReplyCancel

  • Nadine5.31.19 - 2:09 PM

    This would look lovely in our entrance hallway right beside the plant on top of our shoe cabinet.  Thank you for having this giveaway. ReplyCancel

  • Gwendolyn jordan5.31.19 - 3:25 PM

    In my bedroom ReplyCancel

  • Jan5.31.19 - 4:02 PM

    I’ve been waiting to find the perfect art piece for my family room.  This would be perfect!ReplyCancel

  • Zoe5.31.19 - 4:11 PM

    Love the Holly Collective. The kitchen is a favorite place to enjoy our art collection.ReplyCancel

  • Heather S5.31.19 - 5:25 PM

    I would style it in my bedroom!ReplyCancel

  • Maria Sautter5.31.19 - 7:29 PM

    The wall behind my couch is empty and I would love to fill it with beautiful art.ReplyCancel

  • Mary Ann5.31.19 - 10:12 PM

    Hmmmm….I can’t really decide where I want it yet.  All that texture needs to shine and I would test drive it in a few places – to see how the light plays it – before I hang it.  I know it will be awesome in just the right-light place. :)ReplyCancel
