Hey there friends, I’ve got a treat for you!

As you already know, I’m a blogger for Glidden’s My Colortopia site which houses a host of tips and tricks from the most popular DIYers on the interwebs. They recently produced a series of instructional videos with Lindsay Ballard of “Makely School for Girls” on getting the perfect paint job every time. There are a total of 7 videos:

The series takes you from start to finish and Lindsay’s supportive attitude makes you feel like she’s there painting alongside you.

Each video is well produced and straight to the point. Who has time for a long drawn out production when you’ve already got your sleeves rolled up and your rollers drawn, right?

Painting has great meditative qualities, but cleaning up used to interrupt my zen! I’ve posted one of the videos that has helped me most, “How to Clean Up After Painting.” I hope you will greatly benefit from these like the many others!

Happy Decorating!

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
