Our Breakfast Room Reveal!

Lately I have not been the best at short and sweet posts and this one just might top the list! I have so much to say and so much to share that you just might want to kick off your shoes, grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine and stay awhile…

I have to admit that I am still pinching myself on a daily basis that “Our Historic Wonderland” is actually mine and that we call this amazing gem home. Sooo much thought and planning and hard work went into bringing this 111 year old house back to life that it still doesn’t even seem real. If you missed any of my previous room reveals, simply CLICK HERE and scroll through them all one by one!

Today I am super duper excited to share one of our most “complete” rooms and honestly one of my faves. I still remember the day I posted a sneak peek of the tile being installed on our breakfast room wall on social media. I think you guys were a little confused at what it was and what you were even looking at! And then I remember when I told Mark I was tiling our breakfast room wall black. “The look” has faded quite tremendously over the years. That “are you SURE?!?”. That “I trust you… I think”. That “why the hell do I always say yes”. Look. It was back in action that day though! He really does always say yes (budget permitting) and for that I really am thankful. Allowing me to dream big and truly make my design visions a reality have helped me create my dream company and for that I am very thankful. And yes, I just might be acting like my nine year old who gussies me up before asking for something. Like that crazy wallpaper I currently love for the dining room. Hehehe.

One of the signatures of my design style AND the element I feel is crucial to creating a unique yet balanced home is the design element… TEXTURE. I get a lot of random e-mail and questions asking for advice on how I achieve a balance of whimsy, femininity and elegance. And the key is always playing with textures. For our kitchen/breakfast room, given the powder blue cabinet color, the glossy white tile and the feminine lighting… adding rough wood textures was a MUST. Re-finishing our original hardwoods in a light finish that really showcased the rough, rustic grain of the hardwoods was the first goal in my vision. The second part was a big, rustic wood table…

So first, let’s take a look at our kitchen BEFORE…

Our Historic Wonderland 9D

And AFTER Construction…

You can read all about our kitchen renovation in “Our Vintage Modern Kitchen Reveal“!

So once the kitchen was complete, I set my sights on a table for our breakfast room on the right side of our kitchen. I would be using the built-in bench we created for the right side seating which would also allow for a larger table. I honestly searched online forever and ever and could never find something that I loved. I knew I wanted something wood but also very rustic and possibly a two-toned wood look to create even more visual texture. I get these dang visions in my head and then cannot ever find exactly what I am looking for. Or I do and it costs a million dollars. Seriously story of my life.

Then one day I was doing a little shopping at Restoration Hardware and found this amazing tabletop that was marked down because the table base was missing. I fell in LOVE with the color and the texture and the finish. It had a great ashy color and wasn’t too red or orange like lots of tables I had seen. I purchased the top and loaded it up!

Then I went on an online search for a table base. And TADA…

Tall 29” High Extended Old World Double Pedestal Kits in Soft Maple

It was love at first sight. I loved the detailed legs. I loved the unfinished wood color that coordinated with our flooring. And the size was perfect! So I reached out to Osborne Wood Products, Inc. and we partnered for this post! They were amazing to work with and their customer service was fabulous. Whether you are looking for table legs, corbels, molding, trim or even a pedestal kit like ours, I can almost assure you they will have what you need AND love! I searched forever and their HUGE product selection had me hooked. Their shipping was super fast too! I received the table kit in early November and it was even more beautiful in person. Mark simply attached the legs and we got to staining! We did choose to not add the outside legs at the time because we weren’t sure what end chairs I would find. We still have them though and they work great with the wingback chairs so I may actually add them soon! Here’s a peek at Mark assembling our new table…

As I mentioned above, it was actually a more beautiful wood finish in person so I chose to simply use a Clear Polyurethane by Minwax…

And here’s the finished product! Thank you Osborne Wood Products, Inc.!

Once the table was in place, I got to work finding chairs. I had large wing back chairs in mind for the end chairs and ended up finding these beauties at Restoration Hardware! I love the vintage style and the white really sets off the black wall tile. Next, I searched and searched and finally decided that clear chairs would be the best option visually for the side chairs to keep the space from looking too busy or visually “heavy”. I found these cute clear chairs that have great spindle detailing and were the perfect size for the space.

    As always, love it!!! I wish I could use a fixture like that over my island. It’s perfectly “fancy” and “causal”. Your style is so amazing. Can’t wait for you to get your design studio/company up and running. I’ll keep you busy for a looooooong time!! 😉

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! Linked in bio. http://liketk.it/360s2 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome
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!!!
