Did you guys have the best time following along with our Little Merc modern playhouse make-it-up-as-we-go build on Instagram the last 2 weeks?! It was so fun to share the process and excitement with you!!
I know why you’re here. You’re itching to see the Sherwin-Williams 2020 Color of the Year right!?!
I’ve been teasing you with black and white photos like this:
Buuuuut are you ready for it!?
The Sherwin-Williams 2020 Color of the Year is Naval SW 6244
I LOVE Naval and have used it before, remember my sister-in-law’s bedroom makeover? It’s such a good deep true navy!!
One thing that Sherwin-Williams is doing differently this year is that they are celebrating not just a color, but an experience. When they told me that the color was Naval I was on board, but when they told me that the they wanted things to be centered around this feeling of being connected to the night sky I was not only on board, but I had made myself president and already passed out cookies.
I knew INSTANTLY that I wanted to do a playhouse with a skylight so that my kiddies could enjoy the stars and have their own special piece of the universe.
We’ve done a lot of projects, but we’ve never done something like this that involved framing and building such a large structure. I’ve had a lot of people request build plans, but we literally made it up as we went SO if anyone wants to take on the task of helping us put plans together shoot over an email!
The other colors that I used are Mandi White (the best white in all the land, get the secret formula here!!) and Tricorn Black SW 6258. I really love the pairing of Naval and Tricorn Black – it makes it feel modern and bold even though individually they are pretty safe colors. Everything was painted using Sherwin-Williams Emerald Exterior paint, and for the trim we used Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel.
You guys know that Court is up for anything, but when it comes to the Boy and his stuff- he get’s super opinionated. So while I wanted everything designed, he wanted it to be everything a kid could hope for. Let’s go inside the Little Merc and I’ll show you!
Do you not just want to climb up there and spend the day watching the sky?! For the ladder we used basic in stock fence posts and put wooden dowels in them!
Is it not just the most magical space you’ve ever seen?! It makes me emotional just looking at these pictures because I know how much Bremmer boy loves it!
We’ve still got a ton of work to do with the yard, but it’s coming together!! Check out all of the sources here!
Huge thanks to Sherwin-Williams for inspiring us to create this magical place! If you use Naval in your space PLEASE shoot me a message! I would love to see it!!
Love your guts,m
