Craftsman Historic Home Restoration 1

So, it’s been a little while since I took you inside… You see, our dream home (“Our Historic Wonderland”) was basically a pile, well maybe a stack in the shape of walls, of 2 x 4’s. Original 2 x 4’s from 1906 that were actually 2″ x 4″ before they started making them 1.5″ x 3.5″ which is just weird. Oh and then it also had some green siding and a roof. Other than that, the rest was up to us to figure out. Which we knew. And actually loved. Mark calls it… Our “new build” confined to a footprint and a lot. Because if we had to make THOSE decisions too Lord knows how long THAT would take!

So we have spent the last four months re-doing every single thing. From the floor plan to the electrical, plumbing, HVAC… every single bit of it has been replaced. Except the word “replaced” would mean there was something there to begin with. And there wasn’t. Which once again we have loved because we have been able to truly make it our own. Let’s just say that we changed every single room around except the foyer and the living room. The library is now a master bathroom, the master bedroom is now a playroom, the breakfast room is now a mud room… you get the idea…

So let’s take a look back at where it all began…

See what I mean?!? We have come a LOOONG way since then and my childlike excitement grows every single day that I check in on the progress. Mark just texted me that the living room beams were installed this morning so I am dying to get over there and take a peek! Seriously thank you all so much for your love, support and advice on this project. It’s a huge labor of love and we just love taking you all on this journey with us. Here’s a peek at where we were on the construction as of late last week! I would say more but I am off to pick my kiddos up from school. And yes, you will see some shiplap. Excited to make it my own and can’t wait to share my ideas!

        Looks great! Did you use MDF for the trim too? Also wondering why you chose MDF. Thanks!

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
