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…. My hubby and I own a Kitchen/Bath Company (APF, Inc.), 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.

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! Linked in bio. http://liketk.it/360s2 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome
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!!!
