🖌️ Spotlight on a Trusted Professional: Trent Prueter of Painting with a Purpose

A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a space, and Trent and Ben from Painting with a Purpose are my go-to painting pros! Based in Edwardsville, they’ve been making local homes look amazing for five years.

Recently, Trent painted Nala’s room, and I couldn’t be happier!

Walls: We used Alabaster by Sherwin Williams (a soft, modern white I love).
Ceiling: A light, Swiftie-inspired purple for the ceiling. Many people default to white for ceilings, but adding color brings so much personality to a space!

🏠 Preparing Your Home for Market

Trent has also been a huge help in getting my clients’ homes market-ready. One trend I’m loving? Color drenching (painting walls, doors, and trim the same shade for a seamless look). We did this in Nala’s room, and it turned out beautifully!

Thinking about selling? Some painting and prep work can even be covered at closing. Let’s chat about paint colors that will make your home shine, whether for you or a future buyer!

🐶 Dog-Friendly Fun: My Visit to Bar K St. Louis

If you’re as obsessed with your canine companion as I am, dog-friendly play spots in St. Louis are a must-see!

We visited Bar K in St. Louis, which featured 2 acres with both indoor and outdoor play areas along with an attached restaurant and bar. What I can say for sure is that Mochi had an absolute blast! 🐾

🐕 Important Update for Dog Lovers: Bar K in St. Louis has officially transitioned into K9 Garden! It offers a revamped, dog-centric play environment with indoor/outdoor fun, food, and social events for local pups. You can check out the new park and learn more here: Visit K9 Garden St. Louis
