Your Partners in Paint, Paper and Home Pride
To-Do Lists. To-Buy Lists.
To-Return Lists. To-Fix Lists.
To-Make Lists. To-Call Lists.
To-Schedule Lists. To-Dream Lists.
Scribbled with pen, pencil, marker or crayon. Typed in a spreadsheet. Saved to a collection. Pinned to a board. Endlessly on repeat in your head.
Oh yeah! I forgot! I need to! I should! I will! Let me just…
Today, tomorrow, next week, next year, when things slow down, when I get a chance.
Absolutely. Will do. No problem. Can’t wait!
We at The LIST are no strangers to the pingpong-ing that goes on in our brains when we have stuff to do.
And we know how easy it is to get stuck in a cycle of making a list, not quite knowing where to start, burying the list, moving on to the next list, finding the old list months later and feeling a little…or a lot…overhwhelmed. And then making a list.
Sometimes we are our worst enemies when it comes to starting a project, or even more so, finishing a project. If we don’t know exactly where to start or when to stop if we’re in over our heads, we can end up frustrated in the moment and then find ourselves putting off whatever next step is needed until we put aside our pride and ask for help. Seriously, we’re moms, wives, homeowners, and avid DIYers, too - we get it.
For this reason, we don’t just think of ourselves as painters, and that’s what sets us apart. With a history between the two of us spanning a variety of roles in a variety of industries - from education and social sciences to construction and real estate - we’re happy to be your partner in your journey to “house pride”, the joy you find in loving where you live because you made it your own.
In this blog, we'll be highlighting all we know about house pride.
We'll provide you with inspiration from featured projects, practical tips on caring for your finishes, and trends in the world of paint and wallpaper. And of course, it wouldn't be a blog without peppering in some tales from our personal lives and small, lady-led business.
Whether you know it (or like it) or not, you’re part of our network, and us yours. We’re here to help you succeed by sharing our resources, bouncing around creative ideas, honestly answering questions from our wheelhouse, and when necessary referring you only to our carefully-curated, tried-and-true, legit lot of sister-sanctioned superstars.
We are millennial gals, accessible by and comfortable with nearly any type of communication method. Please reach out! We’d love to (re)connect.
Wishing you a joyous and healthy holiday season.
With gratitude,
Allie & Leah
