Currently Loving…

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! Just popping in to share a random assortment of everything I am LOVE-ing these days. Everything from home decor to drinks to makeup and books… I am telling you the Top 10 things I cannot live without!

But first, let’s chat OHW updates… First, thank you all sooo much for all of the amazingly sweet comments on social media and my blog about my complete restoration reveal on Monday. It took me forever and a day to compile everything with all of the details but I know it will be great resource for you guys when you have questions. So what’s new??? Mark can attest that I have been hot and heavy with some design work around the house. Yep, I get THAT crazy passionate about some wallpaper and paint colors ;-). First on my list was completing our dining room which I shared an update on last week but THEN I decided to have some painting done in our living and dining rooms so that put a slight halt on that progress. My design brain is rather spastic sometimes. Thank God Mark doesn’t mind always living inside of my canvas. Hehe. SO that put the focus on Winter’s room which was up next anyways. I shared a sneak peek of that progress on social media last night…

Okay so let’s chat now about what I LOOOOOVE these days…

  1. Kombucha– Have you discovered this amazingness yet??? It has totally cured my soda cravings and also has a million health benefits too! Mark and I both are totally hooked. This is my favorite brand and flavor… You can purchase it at most grocery stores in the health food section or RIGHT HERE.
  2. IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness– This is truly magic in a bottle. Like when I run out, I freak. I swear I have tried every single concealer on the market for my dark eye circles as well as redness on my chin and this makes it all disappear! You can thank me later 😉 It can be purchased RIGHT HERE.
  3. Yosi Samra Flats– Yes, I am talking about these flats AGAIN… I have been wearing these rose gold flats every single day and I am not even exaggerating. They are stretchy, foldable and CRAZY cozy flats that will make you instantly obsessed. They can be purchased HERE or HERE.
  4. Daring Greatly– This is my current bible study/book club read and it’s SOOOO good. A close group of girlfriends and I have been reading it and then getting together to chat about the book every week. It has jumpstarted so many amazing conversations about what it means to be vulnerable and how daring to be vulnerable can truly change your life. Definitely a MUST READ! It can be purchased RIGHT HERE.
  5. Paige Jeans– I definitely yap about these a ton on my Facebook page but they really are more fabulous than any other jean brand BY A MILE!!! They do not grow or fall down or shrink or stretch out too much. Too much amazingness to even list! I have four pairs now and they have pretty much become my weekday uniform 😉 They can be purchased RIGHT HERE.
  6. This Is Us– Have y’all been watching?!? Mark and I are OBSESSED. We started a little late but binge watched and got caught up last week. Then of course we watched the season finale last night. Y’all… this show gives me every feeling emotionally possible. And I love it. If you haven’t jumped on the train yet, you have to. I do have to say that we were a bit disappointed with the season finale. Something that we all thought would happen didn’t so there are still soooo many questions. Right?!? Ugh, until next season… And if you haven’t watched it you can binge watch the entire first season right HERE.
  7. Kat Von D Everlasting Lipstick– The name says it all. It does not come off. Almost ever. This is the only lipstick I buy now and just top it off with gloss. It’s AHHH-mazing!!! Oh and it comes in 35 COLORS!!! It can be purchased RIGHT HERE.
  8. Palmetto Cheese– Oh this stuff is BAD NEWS. In a good way. I made the mistake of buying it a couple of months ago and every single person in our house is hooked. We eat it on sandwiches or with crackers and it is insanely good. It can be purchased at your local grocery store.
  9. Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder – I never knew I even needed this and now I cannot do my makeup without it! My sister kept telling me about it and I was like yeah sure whatever. And then I tried hers one day and marched right over to my laptop and ordered some. It brightens, smoothes and sets your foundation like magic. It can be purchased RIGHT HERE.
  10. Hygge & West– Since y’all are always asking me about wallpaper, I had to throw this on the list. Well maybe that and the fact that we literally just had 15 rolls of their paper installed in our house! They always have the best patterns and color and fabulous customer service. You will even recognize quite a few from our previous home as well! All of their paper can be seen and purchased RIGHT HERE.

    You should make your own kombucha! I save a ton of money and it doesn’t take anymore time than making sweet tea. See if you can find someone to give you a SCOBY. I add all kinds of different fruits to my bottles for the second ferment. Rose, hibiscus and lavender too!

    Thank you for all these great sources! I’ll have to search for the palmetto cheese. I have a half bath I’ve been considering doing wall paper. I feel like you can go pretty bold in a smaller space. Has wallpaper come along way these days? I haven’t hopped on the kambucha train either.. wil have to try!! Your home is truly stunning!! What was your business on shark tank?

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
