Gingerbread House Classroom Door

Happy Monday!  Wow, is it just me or did November just fly on by?  Tomorrow is not only the first of December but also the start to a really amazing blog schedule and I am SO excited to get going!  For tomorrow’s post I teamed up with a huge DIY blogger for a super fun Christmas craft and tutorial video and then Wednesday starts my “Addison’s Wonderland 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways!”  I.  Am.  Pumped.

However for today, I am going to be a boring ol’ 2nd grade mom (kidding, kidding) and share what I’ve been working on all day!  Excuse my iPhone photos but I wanted to show off my December door decorations for my daughter Addison’s classroom!  I am not exactly sure how but I always get my arm twisted into doing stuff like this.  And somehow everyone always thinks that because I can design a house, I am therefore good at anything crafty.   Way to put the pressure on fellow GWA moms ;-).  For the record, picking paint colors and attaching huge sheets of craft paper to concrete walls are not the same.  Whatsoever.  LOL!  Oh and a HUGE shout-out to my friend Allie who spent her whole day helping me.  You are AMAZING!  So without further ado because I know the excitement is indeed killing you, here’s my “Mrs. Scott’s Wonderland”…

(P.S. Addison goes by AddieBelle at school which you will see on her stocking)

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! 💗💗💗
