A Big Little Life Update…

DISCLAIMER: This post is sponsored by Walmart. All opinions are my own. Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post! Post contains affiliate links (read my full disclosure).

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! It is my every other “cabin week” so Ab and I are wallpapering away for the next two days. Will share LOTS on IG stories! I used to always hire out wallpaper because it was soooo intimidating but after tackling quite a bit at my boutique and then several other small projects at my other cabin, we’ve gotten mega brave and have moved on to full bedrooms, bathrooms and ceilings. Wish us luck! And sanity. Lots of window and door trimming sanity. Sharing tips, tricks and tutorials on the blog SOON!

Before I get to chatting about Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery and how much it has saved my sanity, I wanted to share a super duper quick life update. First things first… YES, John and I are getting hitched this year. EEEEKKKKKKKKK!!! But NO, we are not engaged. YET. I know… I know… I know… Life is “confusing”. I did a whole lot of explaining on THIS POST but in short… we made the decision last Fall/Winter to start chatting about the future and marriage and a million other big decisions from where we would live to how involved we wanted our kiddos to be in those decision making processes. Addie and I had made a pact shortly after my divorce that I would never ever “hide” anything from her and that I would never throw any “life surprises” her way. She also expressed how much she wanted to be involved in any possible future engagement or wedding so that is exactly what John and I decided to do. Work things a little backwards and decide the big stuff before the fun “little” surprises. And since I am apparently “impossible to surprise”, her and John and Abigail have all been in planning ca-hoots these last few months for that big day. Don’t worry, I am even more eager for it to happen so I can dish out all the details than all of you! I will share that we have set a date… our wedding date is JULY 5TH! Here’s what I also do know… First, I am hugely guessing that Addie has a big hand in our engagement day. She and John are all giggles about things and I have been locked out of her room quite a few times now while she works away at something creative. I also heard through the grapevine that John has designed my ring himself (he is super artistic) and has since tweaked it a million and one times but SHHHHHHH… I am not supposed to know ANY OF THAT! 😉

Whew, okay so on to big news number TWO! I AM SELLING MY CABIN! Yep, Winnie’s Woodsy Wonderland is ON THE MARKET! Before those of you who have it booked this Spring, Summer or Fall freak out… NO WORRIES WHATSOEVER! The listing will require AW to continue as property manager and handle all current bookings which extend until October in the possible future sale. The good news to the future buyer is that they’ll be buying a property with an excellent rental history and heavily booked 2021 rental calendar that they will profit from (minus nominal management “fees”) And the good news for me is that John and I can move forward on big things we have in store for us and for AW! Not sure if and when it will sell but fingers CROSSED! Like I was chatting about on IG stories over the weekend, we have been planning and plotting merging careers and this made the most sense as step number one! If you are interested in the cabin, you can check out the LISTING HERE!

Welp, needless to say life is busy and has been quite crazy for a while now. Plotting and planning everything from career goals to becoming a family. As I shared last month in my “Juggling it All” blog post, things like Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery have been HUGE for me in maintaining a good work/life/mom balance. I can honestly say I have maybe stepped inside a grocery store 3-4 times in the last six months. I get groceries delivered straight to my door every single week!

Last September I joined Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery and the only thing I regretted was not joining sooner. I not only use Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery for our home but I also use it to stock my rental cabin as well! I used to spend absolutely forever walking the aisles of the store stocking up for a month or so worth of cabin supplies. Filling carts with everything from forty rolls of paper towels to boxes and boxes of trash bags to  three bars of soap for every single renter which adds up fast! I think that’s one of the things I love most about Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery, I can stock up with everything from dinner ingredients to school supplies to cleaning supplies and it is all delivered to my front door!

Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery offers pickup and delivery service with the same Walmart Every Day Low Prices as in store, no hidden fees or markups and pickup is always FREE (small delivery fee applies & $35 minimum order applies)! Walmart’s Online Pickup and Delivery is available in select markets. For delivery from your local store, there is a $35 minimum and small delivery fee applies.

XOXO, Brittany

It may be five years later but this week Ab and I It may be five years later but this week Ab and I are finally finishing this tile! 🙌🏻 In my procrastination defense, I WAS going to put a shelf right there but then I changed my mind... 4 years and 11 months ago now 🤦🏻‍♀️ Better late than never! Excited to make 2021 the year I mark stuff off my list! 💗💗💗 What house project are YOU dying to get done this year?
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!!!
