Happy almost Thanksgiving! We are spending the week at our cabin in the North Georgia mountains so I have spent the last week trying my absolute best to get super ahead on blog posts to be able to finally chill out for a few days. Some much needed R & R for us both. Well, that’s after we spend all day Wednesday (today for those of you reading this) working on our “treehouse wonderland“. Demolition is complete, painting is complete and flooring is about halfway finished. Mark will be finishing up flooring, setting cabinets and even helping me set up the master bedroom for a blog reveal later this week! So stay tuned! Eeeeek! I am SO excited for this one. I actually just loaded up lighting boxes for our workday and I am OBSESSED with all of the cool lighting I found. OBSESSED.

Oh and before I continue, just an FYI that there is a HUGE SHOPBOP SALE going on right now!

Once that work day is finished, Thursday will begin our 7th annual “Friendsgiving” in Big Canoe, Georgia with some of our dearest friends. We started this fun tradition back in 2012 right after Winnie was born. Mark’s mom usually works on Thanksgiving and my Dad always goes out of town for the Holidays so we decided to officially start “ditching the family” (well, they theoretically “ditched us” first LOL) for a relaxing week with friends at our cabin. That very first year we didn’t have a cabin in Big Canoe at that time so we used my Dad’s cabin in the same community and we had an absolute blast. Our friends have girlies the same ages as ours so they are always thrilled to spend the Holiday together. Plus, their elves all arrive on Friday morning so they even get to hang out together for a few days too! Oh those darn elves. Not terribly excited about starting that all over again. LOL.

Today I am sharing a peek inside Addison’s Christmasy bedroom as well as her TOP 20 favorite books! My sweet little ten year old bookworm LOVES to read. Like OBSESSED actually. Every year she surpasses her school’s AR reading goal by about the second month of the school year. I have honestly gotten to the point where it’s hard for me to even find a book to buy her that she hasn’t read! I have gotten lots of messages on Instagram over the last year or so asking me to post some of her favorites so today is the day! And let me tell you, Addie was soooo excited about this post! You can even tell by her big ole’ smile in these pictures. Makes my heart so happy. Here is her full list of faves as well as a peek inside her bedroom all decked out for Christmas!

Addison’s Top 20 Book Favorites…

  1. The Bible (be still my mommy heart)

    She’s such a sweetie! I would recommend the Wings series by Aprilynne Pike. Gorgeous books, very age appropriate and still some of my favourites.

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?!?
Feels like HOME ♥️ Today on stories I was shar Feels like HOME ♥️ Today on stories I was sharing on a questionnaire slide how much it pains me to hear that someone is “designing/decorating their home for resale” without any plans of resale in sight. You LIVE in your home! It’s your refuge, your family memories, your safe space and something that even if rented or for a moment in time is all “yours”. Let it give you all the feels 🥰 Everything is either linked on @shop.ltk or from shopaddisonswonderland.com
