Our Colorful, Whimsical & Elegant Valentine’s Day Living Room Decor…

Wow, you guys are the seriously the sweetest EVER!!! So many sweet comments on my last post and social media about me diving back into blogging life. I feel so refreshed and renewed that I kind of want to tackle everything I have been daydreaming about over the last month. Today. Like all of it right now. I currently literally have 12 windows open on my computer while I try and make progress on at least some of the million things I want to do… yahoo (e-mail)… WordPress (blog)… Rosetta Stone (making Addie learn French for our Summer adventure)… Etsy (looking for a kilim rug to use to cover a bench)… Ebay (same kilim rug search)… Wayfair (ordering desks or tables for my new office space)… Hygge & West (ordering wallpaper for our cabin)… Amazon (re-ordering Winnie’s tap shoes because I ordered the wrong size UGH)… and four companies/accounts that I need to change my autodraft bank information on because Mark made me move my blog bank account to a smaller bank here in town even though I still love Bank of America. Ugh. Can’t I just work and someone else worry about all of that crappy bank and tax and important crap?!? Hehe kidding but also totally not kidding. Mark is SO good with all of that stuff and I just grumble and moan and complain and tell him that I really just want to create pretty things. Worrying about all of that is just draining my creative mojo. 😉

Today I am sharing a little splash of Valentine’s Day in our living room! When I asked about blogging ideas yesterday on Facebook, several of you suggested a post on my day-to-day schedule and how Mark and I fit everything in between our kiddos and our companies. An idea I LOVE by the way! Totally going to log an entire busy week and share it all. In the meantime, let me share one more little tidbit about myself. Besides the fact that I loathe paperwork and numbers and yada yada, I also drive to Target some mornings and spend way too much money just to get a coffee. So here’s the thing… one way that I try and capitalize on my time is to get “ready-ish” on days I work from home before I take my kids to school so that I can immediately go run errands. Ready-ish as in a touch of concealer, lipgloss and a hat. Jeans on a good day and yoga pants on most other errand days. I drop the kiddos off and then drive 15 minutes to the nearest Target which just so happens to have a Starbucks inside. And since I am already inside of Target, you know, may as well do a little shopping! Yes, Wal-Mart is literally 2 seconds from our house and probably has everything I need BUT no Starbucks. And I am way more productive with a tall iced vanilla latte with almond milk.

So that is exactly why my house is decorated for Valentine’s Day. I started perusing around the dollar aisles in the front of the store and saw all of the cute stuff and then it was just downhill from there. I also decorated the kitchen and hallway for Valentine’s Day too. Whatever. It’s cute and fun and gave me something to blog about! LOL! So here’s a peek inside our living room all decked out for V-Day! Oh and if you like to follow along on our renovations, make sure and watch my IG stories over the weekend because we are headed up to Our Wilderness Wonderland with loads of stuff since it was just completed re-floored (is that a term?) and re-painted! Eeeeekkk!!!

    Wow, I am shocked to actually see you used red. I had just assumed you had a cardinal rule that you never use that color.
    PS Glad to have you back and I’m happy you were able to get some much deserved rest.

      Wow I can’t believe you noticed that! Yes, I’ve never officially posted about it but I have a serious aversion to the color red. I love to wear it but I never ever decorate with it! Good eye! XOXO

    Looks beautiful as always!
    We just found out that we are having a baby girl and I’ve been telling everyone the timing is perfect because everything in the stores is PINK right now! I definitely scooped up a bunch of Target’s Vday collection for the nursery 😉

    What ever happened to the blush sofa you purchased? I remember you post about it, but you are now back to cream!

    Love that you linked everything here! But still no blanket? And, it’s not on the liketoknow.it either…? At least, several of us are missing it – do you know where it came from? thanks!

    Hi,

    Love all of your colors and taste. Do you mind me asking what wall and trim finishes you used with alabaster?

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!

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!!!
