A BEFORE Peek Inside “Winnie’s Woodsy Wonderland”…

Happy Tuesday! And Happy May! And Happy… Covid-19/Coronavirus Summer??? As I know everyone around the world has been doing daily if not hourly… I have been hoping and praying each and every day that this will all somehow just GO AWAYYYYY!!! I pray that the new cases will drastically dwindle and the deaths will of course cease. Sooner than later PLEASEEEEE! Only He can make that happen and I just know that somehow and in some way it’ll happen. One of these days. I will say that here in Georgia life has really slowly but surely been returning to some sort of normalcy. A new normal I guess. Most of our restaurants and stores are open with limited seating and varied new restrictions. So far so good here in Georgia as far as I know. Praying that path in the right direction will continue so more and more states can follow suit. I know that all of you still in shelter-in-place states have just got to be going cabin fever crazy.

For the last few weeks as Georgia has been opening, we’ve been spending lots of time outdoors and on the lake. All of the little things we can do to get some fresh air and sunshine without TOO much social interaction. We’ve hung out with several close friends and Addie has had a few playdates with her bestie. John and I have eaten out several times on restaurant patios and have done a little bit of shopping here and there during our kidless time. Those little peeks back at normalcy have been soooooo nice. Not gonna lie. I know once things do get back to “normal”, we will all be the most thankful for everything we have and everything we are able to do more than ever ever before.

As I shared a couple of weeks ago, I have a contract on a new project. And I am soooooo excited. Over the years I have done quite a few full home renovations to either flip or rent. I have to say though that I am more excited about this one than I have ever been before. For starters, I am excited that I did it. I did it all on my own. As a newly-ish single woman and mom and working mom, I am proud of myself. I had never fully taken care of obtaining a mortgage until now and had never gotten utilities and insurance and all of those kinds of things fully setup on my own until now. All of the things that seemed so intimidating… I did it. With a few calls to my mom and the help of the most AMAZING Synovus mortgage agent… I did it. For another, I just really really LOVE this home. It has sooooo much potential but at the same time it doesn’t need toooooo much work. It has great bones but also updated appliances and HVAC and roof and all of those types of things. It just needs some paint and wallpaper and furnishings and a whole lot of love to become something fresh and beautiful. Well, it honestly already is really really beautiful but I guess my own kind of “WONDERLAND” beautiful. Oh and did I mention that my man and I are tackling this TOGETHER?!? Eeeeeek! Soooo excited for a new chapter in life and in business and in renovations and design. Here’s a peek at “Winnie’s Woodsy Wonderland” BEFORE! I close THIS FRIDAY so watch out for more updates coming SOON! And of course LOTS of IG stories!

My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and A My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and Ab and I are celebrating our first successful project of 2021 AND the first completed week of our new blog schedule! Yep, our penny tile mosaic super detailed tutorial and reveal is LIVE on the blog as well as three more posts this week. Pop over and sign up to follow along! P.S. If you’re wondering why I chose to orient the saying this way, I pondered it for a while. In the end I chose this way because we literally never ever use this back door. Anyone entering our home either comes through the front door where this is visible down the hallway, up the basement stairs where this greets them at the top or around through our laundry room or family room. Basically when your 1908 home has a million exterior doors, most end up going unused. HAPPY FRIDAY!!! ❤️ Oh and P.S.S. This wallpaper, trim color, artwork and all of the tile details are on the post!

Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a paint color? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Looking for the perfect creamy white/blue-green gray combo and tested out quite a few today. What are your faves of either? Sharing some sneak peeks at our cabin progress and my design plan on stories today! Oh and the full reveal and detailed tutorial of the penny tile mosaic we were working on last week is live on the blog today!
Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend which meant I just had to snag another cutting board 💗 See it over there looking all cute? I think this one just might be cutting board wall worthy! 😉 Sharing more of my finds on stories today. Several new projects coming soon from my finds too! Also thought I’d take this “cleaned my kitchen just for this picture” opportunity to answer two of my most asked questions... what is your cabinet color and what are your countertops? My cabinets are a 50/50 color mix I created when I was determined to find the perfect blue-gray mix. It’s a full strength, equal mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray. My countertops are Calcutta Reale marble and I’m sharing all of my thoughts about marble in a kitchen on the blog! Link in bio!
2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed u 2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed up today” for a full day of work in a full face of makeup and well... THIS. Links anyone? John’s socks are mighty cozy! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Baby steps into the new year. Baby steps. In other news, my closet is next on the list for completion! A few finishing touches and I’ll finally share it all on the blog ❤️
P.S. For those about to ask, the built-ins are a 50/50 mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray at full strength just like my kitchen cabinets and main level interior doors and the island is BM Dark Harbour. HAPPY FRIDAY!
Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Ca Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Can’t say I’ll miss 2020 or even 2019 quite honestly. So dang ready for a new year and all kinds of new beginnings. From new projects to new business ventures and all kinds of big personal life changes, hoping 2021 is everything we are all praying it can be. Today on stories we started our first project of 2021 that’ll hit the blog next week and I wrapped up my first soon-to-be weekly inspirational/motivational/personal/raw and super real blog post that’ll be live on Monday. Missed y’all! ❤️❤️❤️
All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renova All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renovations just went pint-sized! I cannot even tell you how much fun Ab and I have had on this mini little renovation. #ad Winter asked for a Barbie dreamhouse for Christmas and I just couldn’t hold back. The only problem was that I only had a day or so to go and we were still wrapping twine for chandeliers and spray painting furniture… oops! Thank GOODNESS for @walmart and Walmart+. By becoming a member of Walmart+, you can save nearly 2.5 hours per week with free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (Savings based on 3 store trips per week. Excludes time spent shopping online. $35 minimum order. Restrictions apply.) With our family Christmas party last night and Winnie at home all week, sneaking off to the store wasn’t really an option. I needed a few extra dollhouse supplies and a few things for the party tonight so I hopped online and logged into my Walmart+ account. Sharing LOTS more on stories today! And, in other exciting news, Walmart+ recently introduced Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum on items from Walmart.com with two-day or next-day shipping options (Excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items)! #Walmartplus http://liketk.it/34yWz #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome http://liketk.it/34yWT
My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This gi My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This girl right here demoed out this entire cabin with her own two hands in 24 hours. A million pounds of junk and carpet and tack strips and everything in between. We just might have had a little fun on stories today documenting some of it too! Now it’s time for DESIGN!!! Eeeeekkkk!!!! If only y’all could’ve been a fly on the wall watching us take these pix 🤦🏻‍♀️ We finally decided, after a million failed attempts with a tiny phone tripod perched on the hood of my car, to video and then screenshot the best moment. Genius Ab. GENIUS!!!
Today is DEMO DAY for my newest cabin project!!! A Today is DEMO DAY for my newest cabin project!!! Ab and I have been daydreaming about this day for quite a few weeks now. #ad There’s something oddly satisfying about ripping things apart and throwing things away. Now all we need is a NAME for the new cabin. I still can’t decide! Would love to hear more ideas ❤️ Oh and don’t worry... I won’t be wearing my new @walmart outfit for the demo 😜 And one last thing... I’m sharing my latest @walmartfashion haul on the blog today as well as on stories in just a bit! These $29 flare jeans are THE BEST 🙌🏻 #WalmartFashion http://liketk.it/346w6 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100
