Did Someone Say Blue Velvet???

Welcome to the coziest room in our home… Three months ago we wrapped up construction and FI-NA-LLY got to actually move into our dream historic home. Something that seemed like it would NEEEEEVER happen. After months and months and months… 10 to be exact… of re-plumbing, sheetrocking, flooring, selecting, designing, painting and making no less than 51,000,000 decisions, we put a fork in OHW and called it complete. Well… livable, able to get our C.O., put a mattress in it complete. FAR from my idea of complete but it was a HUGE accomplishment that is for sure.

As you have seen if you have been following along over the last several months, I am taking my time (as quickly as possible… hehehe… is that an oxymoron???) and putting my stamp on every single room in our new home. Although in some rooms I have done a lot and some hardly anything at all, I am TRYING to take one room at a time and perfect every last detail. You guys know that is what I love most.

So our family room is one of those rooms that we use a TON yet I haven’t quite tackled just yet. SO it’s become a hub for the few random things we kept from our former home as well as one or two new things I’ve randomly purchased since moving in. So let’s start with a peek at the room BEFORE…

And then Post Construction…

Read more about our family room… “Our Family Room Post-Construction Reveal“

So first let’s chat about our sectional… It’s the Pia Sectional in Bella Navy by Jonathan Louis Furniture. You may remember it from our former home (tour that home HERE) when we used it in our basement media room. To sum up the sectional story… Mark griped to heck and back, which he honestly NEVER does, about having to replace our former sectional with a new one because getting things in and out of our old basement was nearly impossible. Like we literally had to cut our old sectional to get it out! So he whined and complained and then NO LIE within 24 hours he was begging me to use it in our main living room instead. Like literally every person that sits on it in our new home is like “WOAH, this is comfortable”. It is super deep which I LOVE, the fabric is so super soft and it is freaking COZY!!! AND not to mention the fact that we have spilt not one, not two but THREE glasses of red wine on it and it just rolls right off! Since our “no drinking and no eating outside of the kitchen rule” doesn’t apply to Mark and I ;-).  Hehe sssshhh don’t tell Addie and Winnie.

So that sectional is here to stay FOR SURE as well as the amazing cabinet I found at Restoration Hardware. Unless I decide to move it into our main living room. Hmmmm… If it does stay we are contemplating building out a “column” to enclose the extended end of the sectional. We shall see!!!  So next let’s chat about the curtains…. cue the angel bells… I am IN LOOOOOVE with these curtains. I have had my eye on them forever and a day yet they never quite worked for our last home. I think we had been in here less than a week and we didn’t even have sheets for all of the beds but I sure ordered these dang curtains. And they are just as amazing as I had dreamed. I get soooo many compliments on them. I also snagged lots of cute things from HomeGoods including the cute little wooden table. Beyond those items, oh and the lamps, I am not sure what will make the cut 😉 but I do know that the rug is too small (it was in my former office) and I am still undecided on the chairs in here as well as the placement. But for now we LOVE it and this room is truly the coziest room in the house…

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!!!
