I did start my white painting project this weekend, but in between cleaning the office and painting sample colors in large squares on the wall, I got onto some other decorating tangents. This stick “redo” being one of them.
I feel that elements of nature have always been a big part of home decor (probably since the dawn of time), however there is still a certain amount of trend surrounding their use and sometimes an update is in order. There is currently a general trend toward natural authenticity and these sticks are just too groomed and linear. I replaced them with something smaller, and with a more organic shape. Since the focal point is lower and smaller, I added a chest, tray, and some other small accessories to finish off the look.
*This is where the ‘stones’ from the title come in!
How do you feel about the stick re-do? Better or worse?

I love, love, love the new decor. I think you kept the idea of the bringing the outdoors in, but toned it down and added a fresh pop of color. Lovely!
Btw…I adore your blog!
thank you so much! I’m glad you like the re-do and the blog… I love feedback!
Very much love the “stick” re-do. Much more interesting. Love the hand.
agree, like the redo. Did you get your “dip” project done yet?
Ah accountability!
I bought a small side table that is the subject of the ‘dip’ project. I aimed to do it yesterday but my husband took the paint primer I bought to do a project at his Mom’s house! So, its on my agenda for this Wednesday night! I’ll hopefully post some pics of it within the week!
I too love the redo!
Erin, love this easy update. I also love love love the white banister. I don’t know how long it’s been that way, but I’m about to do the same in our house! Out with the orange oak! House of Earnest is taking off- way to go!!
Definitely better! I love the fresh color that the trunk adds, too.
Love your pics of your house! What color was used on these walls? Thanks
Dawn- this color is by Behr (home depot) and is called River Mud!
