A Huge Front Porch Refresh with At Home Stores!

Happy SPRINGGGGG-ish! Soooo over the cold and the rain and soooo ready for Spring and Summer! One of the very first things I always want to tackle when then birds start chirping and the flowers start blooming is my front porch! Do you ever have spaces that make you feel a certain way when they’re clean versus when they’re a mess. Mine is my front porch, my kitchen and my car! With a side of my bedroom on occasion depending on just how messy it is. Between being gone a good bit over the last month or two to just being so dang busy, my porch had become a bit neglected. And well, dead…

So, after dropping the girlies off at school one morning, I headed to my local At Homes Stores for a much needed front porch refresh! I’ve been shopping At Home Stores for quite a few years now and I never seem to be able to get out without buying a thing or two or twenty. One thing that I LOVE about At Home Stores is their selection. I feel like they have such a range of styles which fits my mesh of styles just perfect. And they always have the best prices, especially for their annual Spring deals. Mark your calendars for March 10th and hot tip — make sure to sign up for Insider Perks to get the scoop on exclusive perks, first dibs on sales, and lower prices for members!

One design tip I have for creating a unique, stylish space that suits YOU is to do just that… mix up styles! I can never quite define my own design style because I feel like it’s a mish/mash of everything from traditional to modern that lands somewhere around a more transitional style with pops of the unexpected and the whimsical. The extra touch that makes a space feel more inviting, cozy and fun!

One more quick little design tip I have along with mixing up styles is to mix up TEXTURES! I also say that I genuinely think this is the KEY to design. Any one texture, such as soft fabric furnishings and rugs, done over and over again can make a space look overdone but by simply adding in some natural textures like wood or rattan along with the abstract lines of plants or the hard visual texture of metals, the space comes alive with depth and interest.

So with all of that in mind, I set out to At Home Stores on a mission to find some cute new pieces for my front porch that varied in styles and textures. And as you can see, I racked up! They had sooo many beautiful planters and so many outdoor options for accessories, pillows and even throws!

Yep, so so so many good finds! Next step a few weeks later was plant shopping…

One thing I have figured out about myself is that between the fact that I am about as non-green thumbed as they come and I stay too busy to regularly switch out plants, that perennials are where it’s at for me! John had mentioned switching out my front door ferns for trees and I LOVED that idea! Seemed much “easier” to maintain along with the fact that they “should” last forever. Now if I can just take care of watering the rest of the perennials I got… 😉

One last tip I wanted to share before I share my front porch reveal… The sweetest man who owns a local nursery and has taken care of the plant designs out front of my store for the last year or so now shared this tip with me and it has been LIFE for all of my huge planters! He said that if you flip empty plant containers over inside of big planters to fill space, the planters are not only not as heavy but it also prevents wet soil along the bottom that eventually mildews and molds. Genius!

Now here’s a peek at my newly styled porch with At Home Stores!

Y’all know I’m a dreamer but let’s just say that if I make it happen, you can put a fork in me and my daydreaming… I am done! 😉

So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THI So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THIS HAPPENED 💍 for the other half of AW ♥️ The last three years have been something CRAZY for Ab and I but getting to not only witness but to also play a part in one of the happiest days in each of our lives over these last twelve months has been nothing short of PURE MAGIC ✨ Looking back at all of the tears and uncertainty and heartache we’ve each experienced “together” it feels kind of unreal that each of our fairytales have officially come true… absolutely INCREDIBLE, genuine, steadfast men that we both get to call our FOREVER AFTERS 🥰 There is truly NO ONE more deserving of a fairytale than Abigail. She’s more positive adjectives than will fit on this post… basically every single one in the dictionary… and then some. And believe me when I say that if Jess wasn’t absolutely perfect for her, I would’ve thrown myself on the sidewalk for all she’s done for me. These two love birds are the ABSOLUTE CUTEST EVER and I could not possibly be more thrilled for them and the countdown to their big day…. ♥️♥️♥️

My first true outdoor design project is coming to My first true outdoor design project is coming to life ♥️ And I’m IN LOVE! When John and I made the decision to keep my home and make it OUR HOME for the long term, I decided I wanted to bring the European vibes y’all know I LOVE into our own backyard. It quite honestly wasn’t even as much about adding a pool as it was about the vibe I’d been dreaming up as a whole. Wanting to create an outdoor space that felt warm, inviting, whimsical and elegant. All of the things I try so hard to evoke with my style. A place we can keep our now family of six entertained or just a place John and I can sip coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings as our kiddos are growing up way way too fast. Bringing what we love about the inside of our home to our fabulous backyard. Thank y’all for following the progress over on stories the last few weeks! It’s far-ish from done for me but you did say y’all wanted to see more pictures on my feed… 😉 Work done by @garrisonmessick and @connergrading ♥️
Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why not a little design advice and room details with every post too! 💗 I’m often asked if someone wants to start implementing a more colorful, pattern filled style in their home, where do you even begin? I think the best place to start playing around and living it up is sometimes the smallest of spaces where it’s “okay” to play it up! Laundry rooms, powder rooms, mud rooms and of course kids rooms can be great place to start. I mean, who doesn’t love walking in the door from a busy, stressful day into a vibrant, fun mudroom?!? A few details… The trim color in here is a color I created for our kitchen six years ago now that I am still completely obsessed with. It is a 50-50 mix of Sherwin-Williams Uncertain Gray and Stardew. Both at full strength. It is the most perfect gray blue and it never gets old! Also, this wallpaper is available at shopaddisonswonderland.com and I also blogged a full detail tutorial on how we created this penny tile floor writing. Search “penny” on my blog under the Menu. Happy Weekend!
Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so torn! I joined Instagram to share and be inspired by beautiful designs but I also love sharing the process and progress of it all on a Reel. HOWEVER, sometimes I’d love to just scroll and not have my phone blast a new song at every finger swipe. Anyone with me??? For today, sharing our newly completed living room ♥️ Feels so good to call it DONE! HAPPY WEEKEND!!! P.S. If you’ve been following along on stories we are doing lots in our newly landscapes backyard from filling it with furniture to filling pots to place around the pool. Hope you’ll follow along! Lots pictured here is on the @shop.LTK app under @addisonswonderland and about half including the pillows, lamps and lighting is from shopaddisonswonderland.com!

Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Although it is not Portugal, I am sharing the next best thing this morning, state side #ad  It's crazy when the vision you dreamt up over a year ago starts to turn into a reality😭😭😭 Y'all, I am over the MOON about these sofas.  I knew I wanted to go with leather in this space and the #SvenSofa from @article blew my expectations out of the water. This room is constantly used for game nights, late night hangs with the girls, and the occasional lazy Sunday nap AND it is SO dang cozy.  Who's coming over for dinner???  #ourarticle  Swipe to see where this room AKA the “Key Lime Pie Room” started… who else loves those office lights?!?
