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!! 😉

    Hello lovely…
    Your house style is insane and I’ve searched everywhere for the black wallpaper… that’s even if it is wallpaper…
    Would you mind letting me know where you purchased it from?
    Thank you so much.

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
