A Good Ole’ Reality Check

Real Life House Post 12

SHOP OUR FOYER!

Happy Monday! I’m not quite sure that I’ve ever actually looked forward to a Monday but after this weekend, Monday is sounding rather amazing. As you may’ve noticed, I didn’t blog much last week. Once to be exact. Sometimes things are crazy and other times things are just crazier. If you are a new reader, here’s a slight overview…. We flip and renovate homes (Our Current Flip- “Project Lakehouse Flip”), I am an interior designer and blogger, we just purchased an amazing 1908 “fixer upper” that we are currently renovating for our new personal home (“Our Historic Wonderland”) and oh yea, we have two little ones. So basically insane is our middle name.

Lately we have had so much going on in so many different directions that life has been even crazier than the usual crazy. We have gotten pretty good at handling busy but when it rounds that hill into complete and total insanity we all start to lose our minds. And apparently I did just that at about 11pm on Saturday night after a super fun “mommy’s night out” dinner and painting class when on the way home I made a huge “uh-oh” with my hubby’s nice, new diesel truck. I won’t say exactly what happened but let’s just say that it was a BIG “uh-oh”. Really really big. And let’s just say that the last search on my phone is a local wrecker-towing service. That’s always right about the point where I start to re-think the level of busy that I can actually sanely handle.

On a lighter note, our busy has all been good and new and exciting things for us. Until Saturday night of course. Lots of things that I am hoping I can share with all of you soon. So when I was asked to team up with some other amazing bloggers for a “Real Life Home Tour” series, the timing could not have been any more perfect. As you know if you are a “regular” here, I try and maintain a healthy level of being open, honest and real. Here’s a great “real me” starter if you are a newer reader… “My Journey to Today”. So needless to say, sharing the current state of our home is a perfect fit for this Category 5 week. Some of our lesser/hardly ever used rooms stay relatively clean while others… not so much. So without further ado, here’s our real life home tour and a look at our Sunday…

    The colors in your home are stunning, this is what my house wants to be when it grows up 🙂 I always like to get a peek into the behind the scenes of a blogger. I am a home decor blogger, still getting started but people comment that their home never looks like this. Neither does mine! I have three kids and two dogs, and I create things for my home. It takes a lot of mess to get to the pretty after!

    I have loved seeing all of your pictures from this home. The colors, textures, designs, patterns…all of it is incredible, so eye catching and most of all, different than what I typically see. That is what I love the most. I can’t wait to see what you do in The Historic Wonderland. I know it will be equally fabulous.

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
