California Bound!

It’s the WEEEEEKEND!!! And not just any weekend, tomorrow morning I am headed to one of my very favorite places with some of my very favorite people doing one of my very favorite things… California + Blogger Besties + Interior Design Event. But until then, it’s Friday night and I am sitting on our blue velvet sofa in our family room that I have yet to reveal, watching Shark Tank, typing on my laptop and eating frozen pizza. Mark is a total sweetheart daddy and took the girls camping at Stone Mountain so I am solo until I fly out tomorrow morning. And since my hubby chef is gone, I have been forced to cook, which I hate. So I stuck a freezer burned frozen pizza in the oven and am currently snacking on a wilted leftover salad while it is in the oven. Yes, I really hate cooking that much.

Although I am sooo excited about tomorrow, I also have that “why did I book this” dread. I always get it when I go to big events or pretty much anything mega social. As strange as it may sound given what I do, I am hugely an introvert. Well, a weird type of introvert. Basically I am just weird. I LOVE to travel… like obsessed. And I LOVE to be around people that I know and love and trust. And of course I LOVE interior design. HOWEVER, I do not love big social events. Like not my fave at all. I dread them actually. Intensely. But somewhere in the back of my mind, I know that once I am there and in the moment I will love it. So I always go. But until then I dread it. Every single second of it. So I will focus on my love for being in California, my love for being with sweet friends and my love for any excuse to dress up! So before I leave, I wanted to share a peek at what I am packing! Basically ALL of my Spring/Summer faves…

Ten years ago now I started my blog named after my Ten years ago now I started my blog named after my then five year old little girl ADDISON 💗 And today is her SWEET SIXTEEN! When they say it goes fast, they aren’t kidding even a little bit. I now see her “in passing” as she goes from school to band to hanging out with friends, her boyfriend, quiz bowl, honors clubs and everything in between. I’m so crazy proud of the young woman she’s become. Top ten in her class, living/studying in France for a month this January, and then possibly studying another month living on a college campus this Summer as part of the Georgia Honors Program in French. She’s beautiful, witty, crazy smart, incredibly creative, musically talented and has the biggest heart. Couldn’t be more proud to call her mine. Love you Addison!!! 💗💗💗
In June of 2021, five days before we boarded a fli In June of 2021, five days before we boarded a flight to California to tie the knot, Abigail told us about two historic homes side by side. Both in complete disrepair that were about to hit the market. As any crazy busy, almost newlywed couple with four kids and too many things going on otherwise would do, we said… we’ll take them. BOTH! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Needless to say it’s been a minute but our first renovation I just named (today) WONDERLAND COTTAGE is complete! And it’s adorable 🥰 Excited to share every single space with y’all starting TONIGHT! Here’s the completed reveal of the front living room… P.S. every detail and product link is on the blog tonight!

*TAP SAVE to save how we secured the garland and a *TAP SAVE to save how we secured the garland and all (detailed below)* Finally got around to decorating one of my very favorite spots in our home… our bedroom fireplace ♥️ Since painting our bedroom dark and adding a little Portugal travels inspired tile to our 1908 coal burning brick fireplace, it’s just felt like the dreamiest little spot! Now for how we secured it all…
1. For the garland, John secured a screw into the mortar on the top ledge of the brick. From there, he added a zip tie around the garland, and then looped the zip tied loop over the screw.
2. For the stockings, with simply hot glued clear command hooks on top of the brick. The hot glue comes off easy peasy!  Follow my shop @addisonswonderland on the @shop.LTK app to shop this post and get my exclusive app-only content!  #liketkit #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKhome

Yep, HER name is ADDISON and MY name is BRITTANY 😉 Thirteen “short” years ago I started “Addison’s Wonderland” in honor of my then three year old Addison out of a “need” and desire to be creative as a new stay at home mom. That three year old will be SIXTEEN next week and I cannot even believe how much everything in our lives has changed. Here’s to the most creative, intelligent, witty and beautiful daughter I could’ve imagined. I love you ADDISON! 💗💗💗
