Some pieces are simply meant to be kept. 🤍

Our talented friend .ss was commissioned to transform this beautiful armoire that belonged to her customer’s father-in-law. Rather than parting with such a meaningful piece, it was given an entirely new life with Amy Howard at Home Milk Paint and will now hold her fabrics and quilting supplies as it continues making memories with the family.

Becky embraced the character of the original piece, creating that beautifully aged, time-worn finish with so much texture and dimension. She also used our Alexandria Mould + WoodCast to create the gorgeous rolling coin detailing down the doors, adding another layer of character that makes this transformation so special. ✨

This is what Crafting a Beautiful Life is all about. 🤍 It’s not simply decorating a room. It’s creating little moments throughout your home that feel collected, lived-in, and uniquely yours. Mixing old with new, layering pieces you love, and allowing a space to evolve over time rather than feeling like it was decorated all at once.

This dining room from Amy’s previous home is such a beautiful example. What was once a dark, traditional space became light, layered, and elegant while still holding onto the character and collected feeling that makes a home feel special.

Because a beautiful home isn’t about everything being perfect or brand new. It’s about surrounding yourself with pieces that tell a story and creating a home that feels like you.

That’s the heart of Crafting a Beautiful Life. ✨

HOW TO: Create this vintage glazed furniture finish ✨

1. Prep: Clean your piece thoroughly with Clean Slate, then lightly scuff sand.

2. Paint + distress: Apply One Step Paint in LouLou and allow it to dry. Lightly sand and distress the edges.

3. Add the first glaze: Mix Glazed Over with Geyer Gray One Step Paint and apply as a wash, dabbing away the excess as you work.

4. Layer in warmth: Mix Glazed Over with Brown Derby One Step Paint and repeat the wash technique, dabbing away excess. For even more dimension, lightly layer some LouLou back into areas as you go. There’s no exact formula here, so build and blend until you love the effect.

5. Seal: Allow the finish to dry overnight, then protect it with two coats of Matte Sealer

The result: a beautifully layered, timeworn finish with so much depth and character. 🤍

The kitchen color story we’re loving right now. 🤎

Warm neutrals, earthy browns, soft sage, and layered natural textures are bringing depth back into the kitchen. Rather than designing around one statement color, we’re seeing spaces feel more curated through a mix of complementary tones, natural stone, warm woods, aged metals, and subtle pattern.

Our palette: Be Yourself, Life Is Short, Southern Girl, Living My Best Life + Country Roads. Five shades that can carry you from cabinetry and walls to furniture and accents for a room that feels layered, cohesive, and collected. Pick your color! https://www.amyhowardhome.com/pages/miracle-cabinet

Today I celebrate another birthday, and perhaps more than ever, I find myself looking back before I look ahead.

Many of you know that I am a ten-year colon cancer survivor, so every birthday feels especially sacred to me. Every year is a gift. And as I grow older, I want to become more intentional about how I use that gift.

Years ago, a pastor pointed me to Exodus 35:30–35 and told me to pay attention to the words about being gifted not only to create, but to teach others.

He also told me something I have never forgotten:

Seek God ideas, not simply good ideas.

As I have stepped back and asked myself what truly brings me joy, the answer has become clearer.

I love to teach.

I love mentoring someone who is trying to figure out her business, helping her develop her brand and recognize the gifts God has already placed inside of her.

I deeply miss teaching retreats. Gathering around a table, studying beautiful finishes, learning their history, working with our hands and watching something extraordinary emerge.

I want more of that.

More art history. More teaching. More mentoring. More creating together. More meaningful conversations around a table.

At this stage of my life, I have a growing desire to live well and with intentionality. At a slower pace. Not striving, but abiding.

I want to use the gifts and experiences God has given me to spur on a new generation of artisans and entrepreneurs.

And as I celebrate another year of life today, I want you to know that one of my greatest gifts has been you.

Thank you for your encouragement, your love, your curiosity, your willingness to learn and, most of all, the extraordinary trust you have given me by allowing me to teach you.

Here’s to another year of learning to craft a beautiful life.

Hugs,
Amy
