In this episode of Home in Progress , sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore , host Dan Hansen dives into two very different but equally inspiring home improvement topics. First, Dan takes on his own landscaping challenge: a large flower bed that’s been giving him trouble. He shares what he’s learned about using ground cover plants—options that thrive in both sun and shade—along with practical advice on soil preparation and weed control. Then, the conversation shifts indoors with a special guest: Patty Brummel from MidLife Revival . Patty recently transformed an old player piano with a bold navy-blue paint choice that completely redefined the space. She walks us through her process, from prep work and product selection to the surprising impact that unexpected color choices can have on a room’s atmosphere. The episode wraps up with a look at current paint promotions and the lasting benefits of using high-quality paints like Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select.
