A Mess (I mean Work) in Progress…

Welcome to my mess work in progress.  Once upon a time, about six years and 11 months ago, I was an organized neat freak.  Wait a second.  That also happens to be exactly how old my sweet Addison is right now.  I know all of my mommy fans know this all too well.  If I’d have seen the inside of my car right now seven years ago, I’d have thought, clearly my husband took over this vehicle.  Okay kidding kidding.  But nonetheless, I’ve deemed keeping my home and car clean these days to be about as easy as brushing your teeth while eating oreos.  Can I get an amen?!?

As you’ve seen in my posts, we’ve pretty much “finished” all of the rooms in our new home.  We remodeled it from top to bottom in the last ten months and although there are lots of projects still in my head and on my honey do list, I will call every room complete.  Wow that word is strangely difficult for me to write.  As a designer, I think that is almost impossible to do.  AND since my husband admits to be an avid AW blog stalker, I will say that no room of mine will ever be “finished”.  Lol.  Anyways, every room is complete except for one.  And this room has been driving me ca-razy for the last ten months.  It is my office.  It is the first room on the right when you enter our home and right now it is a huge eyesore.  It’s filled with boxes of who knows what and random shelving that I am hoping will eventually be a library wall.

Here is the room BEFORE…

I will keep my opinions about these color choices to myself and let you decide…

    Love your light fixtures! I get hung up on them all being the same finish, fo you just mix them all up? I keep thinking the kitchen light fixtures need to match the cabinet knobs and so forth…how do you decide? We are building and i want the island lightening you have. I love it!

      Thank you so so much! I did a gold dusted silver finish on my breakfast room and island lighting to tie together all of our gold lighting with the silver cabinet hardware. Hope that helps! Thank you!

    I LOVE your choices in color and wish I could decide on a color for my kitchen! This is my first house where I have gone with the cool color scheme and I am stumped! Love living at your home for inspiration. Your bold choices are awesome!

I have STRUGGLED to figure out a window treatment I have STRUGGLED to figure out a window treatment solution in my bathroom. The shower butts right up to the window trim, so a typical curtain rod was out but I knew I wanted some kind of drapery to soften all of the hard elements in the bathroom. Cue this STUNNING acrylic curtain rod from @calicocorners to solve all of my problems. It is sleek, streamline and adds a subtle nod to the other “glam" selections that went with this space. Calico now has a quick ship custom option that offers their same quality on window treatments! You get the custom look without the custom wait!

We also may or may not have tested out their new LED pong float over the weekend as well 🤫 P.S. #Walmart has some amazingly cute swimsuits too! #WalmartFashion Linking all of their new backyard fun and swimsuits I got right here… #WalmartHome

Life Hack… marry your bestie and a good life jus Life Hack… marry your bestie and a good life just becomes that much sweeter 💗 My laugh lines have become much deeper and happy weight really is a thing but I wouldn’t trade it for the absolute WORLD. Cheers to almost three years of togetherness and one year of true marital bliss this Saturday with my soulmate. I never imagined I’d be right here right now literally, figuratively, mentally and emotionally but I’ll take it! 😉 He’s my confidant, my lover, my very best friend and my safe place to fall. Thank y’all for following along on our Summer adventures once again. Two more weeks to go and then once I get my new phone loaded back up (it was stolen at the Rome train station for those who missed that on my stories), I’ll have some fun new home stuff to share as well! But in the meantime, follow along on our travels over on stories! 🇫🇷

From the rich, moody colors to the pop of pattern, mix of textures and sleek @7levelhome custom aluminum frame cabinet doors... #sponsoredpost I think I now love our cabin kitchen more than ours at home! Feels so so warm, inviting and COZY. Also, I've linked the details on our custom glass cabinet doors in my bio!

Such a fun way to feature styled storage in a space. #customby7levelhome #createwith7levelhome #my7levelhome #7levelhome #aluminumcabinetdoor #customcabinetdoor

Currently daydreamin about a cozy cabin weekend… Currently daydreamin about a cozy cabin weekend… and just like that, only fifteen months later, our cabin is COMPLETE! Lolol. #ad I think all of those late nights and long weekends of demo and construction equate to quite a few cozy cabin weekends. In case you missed it, I blogged our cabin kitchen makeover a few weeks ago and I am IN LOVE… I get my vintagy European style “unkitchen” while John rocks out to Led Zeppelin and the kiddos play games on the refrigerator. The best of both worlds! Yep, our @SamsungUS 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with Family Hub not only has more space and features, but it also has sleek design I LOVE and Wi-Fi Connectivity! Sharing more over the blog! #samsunghomeappliances LINKED IN BIO!
