A Little Lake Update!

And just like that it’s Thursday! We are beach bound on Saturday morning so we are busy wrapping up some little projects and getting all packed up. I have found some of the cutest Summer outfits, shoes and accessories that I will be sharing on the blog tomorrow. And wait until you see the swimsuits the girls will be wearing at the beach next week! They’re so stinkin’ cute!

Addie and Winnie are mega excited about the beach. We actually didn’t go at all last Summer with the girls so they haven’t seen the sand and the ocean since last Spring Break. Hence the fact that Winnie cannot wait to play in the “snow”! I try and remind her that it’s actually the sand but my sassy three year old corrects me every time. “No mommy, it’s called snow.” At least with Addie, we did not become “less knowledgeable than her” until recently. With Winnie it pretty much started the day she said her first word. Totally the second child thing, right?!? Here’s a little flashback to last Spring Break in Miami… And oh my gosh I’m dying over Addie’s short hair. I love it so much but she will NOT let me cut it again. “Mom, that’s not what girls want in the 2nd grade!”. LOL.

I think Mark and I are equally excited about a stress-free, zero expectation trip. You know sometimes when you spend good money on a vacation and you’ve been looking forward to it for what seems like forever and then suddenly the vacation becomes somewhat stressful? Like you have to do everything in your power to make it live up to what you spent and what you anticipated and what you dreamed it would be? Okay maybe that sounds crazy but I feel like this trip just is what it is. We booked it mega last minute and we have zero plans, zero expectations, it wasn’t super expensive… I think we are somehow more excited about it this time for just those reasons.

Yesterday Mark and I spent most of the day at our Project Lakehouse Flip. It is nearing its last week or two of finishing touches and it’s looking AMAZING! I tried SO hard to Periscope and I am so sorry if you tried to join me! Service is super limited there so three attempts later, I gave up. There’s no telling what y’all saw and heard during the couple of minutes that it seemed to broadcast. LOL! Anyways, I decided to just snap some quick pics with my phone of the progress so here ya go!

And of course ALL of the cabinets and countertops were done by Mark & our company APF, Inc.!

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I am undecided about the door color and am thinking about doing something a little lighter. Hmm… stay tuned to find out what I do!

On the other side of this bedroom was a hallway and two bathrooms back to back! We closed off the hallway and made one larger bathroom plus a closet for this bedroom…

How strange and pointless is that?!?

Warning… these next several “In Progress” basement pictures (den, bedroom and bathroom) are terrible because they’re video screen shots. Argh. I forgot to take pictures of these spaces! We will be back after Spring Break to get some final pictures!

Also, here on the left is getting a fun shiplap wall!

    The lakehouse project is looking great! I love the subway tiles in the bathroom and the upcoming shiplap wall in the basement.

    What color are the interior doors at the lake house. Thinking of doing a dark grey/black on my interior doors but not sure. Also what’s the finish flat, satin, or gloss?

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!!!
