Another Peek Inside Our Wonderland…

WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ALONG ON OUR JOURNEY?

Never Miss A Blog Post!

I am over Homecoming Week. I love my kids and I love playing dress up and I love their school but having to pretend like it’s Halloween five days in a row while our entire lives are boxed up has about made me crazy. After countless trips to Wal-Mart, Target and Halloween Express plus calls to friends for borrows, we have officially survived 4/5 days. I have suddenly fallen madly in love with their uniforms. Minus Monday which was “Twin Day” when we barely made it to school on time, here are the last three days of Homecoming Week!

So all in all my first week in our rental home has consisted of unpacking, purchasing “costumes” and overseeing OHW painting. Add in a little lighting shopping in Atlanta yesterday and celebrating Mark’s 35th birthday in Athens last night with friends, our schedules have been packed full! Just when I thought moving week last week couldn’t have made life much crazier, then came this week. So here’s another peek at our cute little rental…

Yesterday I shared a huge sneak peek into the progress on “Our Historic Wonderland” and today I am sharing a little more! I wasn’t planning on posting again today but I went by this morning and they’ve done even more AND you guys wrote such sweet comments yesterday I just HAD to pop by and give you another update! First, here’s a peek at the outside again. This is a quick little picture from my iPhone and once I lightened it up a tad it looks a little bluer than it does in real life but you get the idea. I haven’t shared the full exterior reveal yet because they aren’t quite finished. We decided to move them all inside since our house sold and we needed to hurry up the completion. And for those who’ve asked, the final siding color is 1/2 Benjamin Moore Witching Hour and 1/2 Benjamin Moore Soot. The trim is Benjamin Moore Dove Wing and the doors are currently being restored and stained in a clear gloss. And finally, the foundation is Restoration Hardware Slate. I am planning to grow vines up the foundation and the side exterior fireplace once we begin landscaping. The beautiful doors and garage doors were purchased and installed by the previous homeowner about 12 years or so ago so I am not sure where they came from. But we LOVE them!

Here’s one more look inside our home as of this morning! I have included the paint chart once again at the bottom of this post. The living and family room walls were just painted yesterday so those are what is the Gossamer Veil color. All main level doors are the blue/grey color on the chart and all of the upstairs doors are the pink-ish color. You can see those on the previous post. Thank y’all again SOOOO very much for following our journey! Next week I will be sharing flooring selections!

    Oh I’m so excited to see more of the progress! Thanks for explaining where you’re using the colors. I’m now assuming that the Alabaster is being used for the trims and moldings, correct? Great job on surviving Homecoming week with what you have going on already! They look adorable and I’m cheering on the school uniforms! 🙂

      Awe thank you! The Alabaster is all of the trim and moldings plus all walls except the living room, family room and master bedroom. You’re a doll! XOXO

    Love! The tones are subtle, yet stunning! Which color did you choose for your master bedroom? Yes…I’m all about the school uniform;-)

    I’m so curious about the bedroom color!? It’s a beautiful color and the size of the room can certainly handle it . It’s very dramatic! I can’t wait to see the decor when finished…..

    Your office ceiling reminds me of a Kaleidoscope! Such fun possibilities.

    My local Sherwin Williams was very uncertain when I asked for a sample that was 1/2 Stardew 1/2 Uncertain Grey. Did you buy the paint separately and mix it yourself? Or did your SW have any problems just mixing 1/2 of the total paint at 100% of each color. I think my SW thought I meant mix them at 50% and he said his machine wouldn’t do that. I’m also certain I wasn’t getting the most experienced employee on a Sunday morning.

When perusing antique malls for an old wood table When perusing antique malls for an old wood table becomes an album cover shopping trip turned gallery wall 💿 Ab and I spotted these fun, colorful covers while out one day and thought it just might be the perfect finishing touch in our historic fixer upper family room! With rose gold frames from @frameiteasy and a rather impromptu hanging method, this wall turned out to be the easiest, most colorful and fun project yet in our little brick cottage. P.S. Speaking of impromptu, John’s final addition looks rather staged but for Ab and I, we literally had NO CLUE it was coming and once Ab zoomed into the videos, we were dying 🤣🤣🤣 Oh John and his plants!
Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Watching old videos reminds me just how far this little house has come. My sweet dad helping me lay sub floor in the middle of summer after a long work day (which is just the TIP of the iceberg when it comes to the hours he put in on this house), the dance parties to keep from crying, and the bitter sweat memories of that year 💛 I have been DREAMING about this tub for quite some time, and @signaturehw brought all of those dreams to life.  I’m just so stinking thankful. It is seriously the most beautiful tub I’ve ever seen... So much so that we have another gorgeous copper tub, from Signature, going in this week at a clients house! Where are my girls, who love a moody space, at???🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🖤
Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable, pet friendly, kid approved, scratch-and-dent resistant, germ resistant, worry free and practically indestructible… hardwoods by @bruceflooring that have no added chemicals, are engineered for high traffic and have a commercial strength warranty. Yep, that option actually exists, and yes, it is made in the USA with 100% real hardwoods.  For all of the reasons listed above, I chose #Dogwood Engineered Hardwoods by #BruceFlooring in Sattler White Oak for our historic renovation and they turned out STUNNING! *TAP TO SEE THE FAMILY ROOM RENOVATION PROGRESSION* After once joking that I needed a hardwood flooring color that matched Cheerios crumbs, I've kind of stuck with that color-selection motto ever since, and they never disappoint! Lighter hardwoods (like this Dogwood by Bruce in Sattler White Oak) hide all the crumbs while keeping spaces light, bright and airy, (even with dark wall colors). Today on the blog, I’m sharing many more images and even more details! #sponsored
Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these are a more recent discovery since marrying into an Italian family but they were an instant hit! They’re a traditional Italian waffle cookie that’s super easy to make with a CucinaPro Piccolo Pizzelle Baker and they can also be made into so much more… from ice cream sandwiches to cannolis! John’s favorite dessert is cannolis and this makes them super easy to make while Winnie loves a good ice cream sandwich and Addie and I usually go for the chocolate dipped with powdered sugar 😋 They’re incredibly simple and look way more impressive than the actual skill level which is perfect for me! 😉 Mix it up, press them cooked in 50 seconds and BOOM! Sharing the recipe and a few of our favorites ways to prepare them. P.S. the @Cucina.Pro pizelle baker is available on Amazon and I’ve linked it in my bio!

Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ Wha Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ What if quite possibly one of the most forgotten spaces in your home could become pure magic?!? After quite literally carving out this hallway amongst bedrooms for the new floor plan we gave our historic fixer-upper, I knew I wanted to make the new archer hallway a STAR! It’s the center of the entire home and can be viewed from pretty much every single room. First was the installation of this incredibly beautiful mural by @belartestudio last week and then today the three pendants I spray painted over the weekend. Who knew a hallway could be my favorite space in a home! 🥰 Linking the mural and the pendants on stories tonight!
When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires an entire home 😍… Yep, one look at this @belartestudio landscape mural and the color story for our historic fixer upper came to life! Add in the fact that wallpapering together is mine and Ab’s friendship love language and it’s the project of our design dreams ♥️ Seriously though, you have GOT to see all of the @belartestudio beauties. We’ve already used several of their papers in design projects (sneak peeks at one will be on stories tomorrow!) and I keep trying to invent a use for one in our home too. They’re all STUNNING!!! P.S. Ab and her sound effects were ON POINT for this one! 🙌🏻🤣🥰
If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album co If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album cover 😉 Back in 2021, Ab @abigailbradl3y “took our kiddos to dinner” but instead snuck in the most incredible surprise photo shoot as a wedding gift. The images by @brianingramphoto were beyond STUNNING and we finally got around to framing and hanging one of my very favorites. Two years later 🤦🏻‍♀️ A true work of art that I will absolutely cherish forever and ever! Especially considering three of our four are off to college in what feels like no time 😭 P.S. All of the vases and florals are from @addisonswonderlandboutique and I’ve detailed and linked everything on the blog! Happy Weekend 💗💗💗
Already making a jot list of all the things that’ll get your kiddos off their devices and out the front door this Summer? I packed four Gel Blasters for Spring Break and they were a HIT! Kinda sorta almost more than the beach 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not even kidding when I say I think they went through more than 30,000 Gellets. In seven days. We loved them so much I got y’all a link (linked in my bio) and a discount code (BRITTANY10)! P.S. The Gellets are non-toxic and start to dehydrate after contact. Believe me… I wouldn’t have chanced messing up the backyard of our Spring Break Airbnb if they didn’t disappear quickly! #gelblaster #goplay #GelBlasterPartner
