PICKING THE PERFECT PAINT COLOR:
When it comes to choosing paint, it's important to note
that whether you want them to or not, the walls will
pick up the other colors in the room. For this reason,
Irwin tends to lean towards the neutral side of things,
going with a purple-tinted gray for the guest room walls,
complemented by the orange of the kumquat tree, and a
frosty white on the floors.
ASK FOR HELP:
Taking the DIY approach sans professional help can
seem scary. But when opting to work alone, Irwin sees
no shame in turning to family, friends or even YouTube
for guidance. And her advice to those brave enough to
take on the task is to "just go for it" because "everything
is a learning experience."
