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.Episode Highlights: 00:00 – Introduction and sponsor message 00:48 – Tackling a home landscaping problem 01:54 – Exploring ground cover options for sun and shade 04:30 – Soil preparation and weed control tips 06:40 – Interview with Patty Brummel: the painted piano project 17:20 – Common issues in painting projects 17:50 – Inspiration from designer Sister Parish 19:49 – The impact of bold colors in design 21:00 – Choosing the right color for your space 24:38 – Taking risks with color choices 30:54 – Patty’s current projects and where to find more 34:10 – Special offers and final thoughts
