Our 1905 Historic Wonderland Home Reveal

Can you even believe it??? The home we coined Our Historic Wonderland is finally complete. Well, the construction is complete. My design vision is still just beginning BUT I can finally share the entire home we restored… from top to bottom. Wow what an incredible journey you guys have followed us on over the last year. As amazing as it is to be finished and actually living in our home, I am almost sad sometimes that the journey is over. It truly does not even seem that long ago when I posted that we had found the home and project of our dreams and that we would be selling the home that jumpstarted my blog. You all thought we had lost our minds. And I mean we kind of did too. But this house literally spoke to us from the moment we stepped into the front door on a freezing cold and pitch black Friday evening that November. From there our journey to creating Our Historic Wonderland began and you guys have supported us every single step of the way. I am still so excited to see where the interior design transformation will take me and I hope you will continue to follow along!

Here is one big ol’ tour of our post-construction home reveal and details on every single thing you could possibly ask about. So here’s a tiny little peek at where we began…

    Your home is absolutely beautiful! I am obsessed with your Stardew/Uncertain Gray color, I am color challenged and having a vision for room decor is totally absent. I have painted my kitchen cabinets Annie Sloan French Linen and cannot even choose the color for the one wall that is a cross from the cabinets which has made me regret my cabinet color choice.
    I admire the sensational job you did throughout you lovely home.
    Thanks for sharing the beauty!

    When you paint walls and trim Alabaster are they both satin? What about doors are they painted with flat or satin! Thanks so much! I am definitely painting my room in these colors!

    Love the calm vibe of this house. My basement is alabaster and sea salt with dark floors and looks great. I would like to use alabaster on my kitchen walls, trim and cabinets with inkwell on a french door leading into the kitchen. Do you think this will work with terra-cotta floors and St. Cecilia (beige, black, cream) granite that is already there?

    What was the effect of mixing the uncertain gray and the star dew? Did it lighten the color or remove some of the blue? We painted our house star dew and I’m a little nervous about how blue it came out. Wondering if I should tone it down or not.

      I’m wondering how you like Gossamer Veil after having it a while. Do you ever wish it was darker, or is it just right? Thank you!

    Hi there! Such a dream home to renovate. I would love to have such a historical piece of property, but we decided to build a new home instead. I am curious what the color of the foundation that is painted gray? Thank you!

    So beautiful! I love how you pulled those colors together! What color are the ceilings when you use alabaster on walls/trim-is it a white or is it alabaster too? (Not the colored ceilings obviously )

    Thank you for sharing!

Can’t even remember the last time I posted a ran Can’t even remember the last time I posted a random house view 💗 Gosh I miss the old IG days! Earlier this week I was drying my hair and saw the sunlight shining through the mirror and had to snap a picture. I’d say our 1908 home “library” functions much better as a bathroom these days 🥰 Just might be my favorite room renovation!
THIS @varaluz CHANDY 😍 I found this audio and i THIS @varaluz CHANDY 😍 I found this audio and it I reminded me of the daily… hourly… sounds that come from my ten year old 🤣 And possibly what I sounded like when I told Ab that she HAD to come see this beautiful new chandelier! It just went up in our historic renovation project and I’m in LOVE ♥️ Sharing more new renovation/design updates on stories today! P.S. We are lowering it for the actual room design but the “box installation” 😉 had it up a bit higher.

Renovating cabins together is where it all began f Renovating cabins together is where it all began for us ♥️ Looking back I can’t believe how much John just leapt right into it all with the first cabin I purchased just six months into dating but those moments are ultimately what led us to eventually take a chance and merge careers. I’ll never forget our 7am chat on the beach over Spring Break 2021 when we decided to go for it. We chose his resignation date and prayed we could make it all work! Needless to say, one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s not for everyone but working alongside my spouse is something I genuinely love. It’s the joint passion, path, visions, sacrifices and small victories that you get to experience together that makes what we do seem less like work and more like an adventure. Of course this project is complete but y’all know me… always adding and fluffing and zushing and dreaming! Here’s a peek at what we were up to last weekend. P.S. I shared a much bigger and better peek at the newly installed and newly styled pot rail in our kitchen on the blog this morning along with a tutorial on how to drill into tile. P.S.S. @serenaandlily is having their Spring Design Event where EVERYTHING (including sale items and this gorgeous new rug) are 20% OFF with CODE: SPRING 🌺 Happy halfway to the weekend again!

Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest and most adorable student from France this month and it just so happened to be her 15th birthday yesterday! Although I thought it might be a bit creepy for me to stick to our standard tradition of sneaking into the girlies bedrooms at night for their birthday balloon wake-up “surprise”… I did sneak in Caroline’s room while she was in school yesterday. I know it can’t be easy to be away for so long so I wanted to treat her like my own and do a little simple something. It’s been such a blessing to have another kiddo join our big, crazy family this month. Joyeux Anniversaire Caroline! 🇫🇷
