A Living Room Design Update Inside the “Make It Home” Invitation Homes Show House!

DISCLAIMER: This post is sponsored by Invitation Homes. All opinions are my own. Thank you to Invitation Homes for sponsoring this post!

Happy Saturday friends!!! I am riding solo this weekend so before I head out on a girl’s night I wanted to pop in and share a really big update on my design for Invitation Homes’ Make It Home Show House in Atlanta! Invitation Homes is the premier home leasing company and can be found in 17 markets across the U.S.. I am SO honored to have been chosen as a designer among so many incredible talents. I cannot WAIT to share the final reveal with y’all in the next few weeks!

As you may have seen or heard or guessed through my blog and Instagram Stories over the last month or so, life has been a little rough. To say the very very least. My life quite literally turned upside down in a matter of minutes and I have found myself somewhere I never ever thought I would be. Somewhere I have fought for years to avoid but in a place that I am FINALLY mentally and emotionally strong enough to face. God’s work in my life over the last six years and in particular the last few months in preparing me for these moments has been quite literally divine. Although every day is a struggle in thinking about what could’ve/would’ve/”should’ve” been, I know without a shadow of a doubt that God has a plan and has had a path for me for so long now that He is finally ready to lead me down. And I am READY. In the strangest way, I am so incredibly happy. Happier deep deep down than I have been in a really long time. I feel alive and free and worthy and proud. I promise I will share more soon but in the meantime, your sweet words and thoughts and prayers mean THE WORLD.

Today I am sharing my full design board for my space in the Invitation Homes’ Make It Home Show House! I was given the formal living room and I am soooo excited about the plan and our progress. This project has been SUCH a huge escape for me and I am so thankful for this opportunity. I almost turned it down since it fell so close to our European Summer travels but I felt this inner pull to say yes and I am soooo glad I did! Abigail and I have been hard at work planning and designing and working our booties off on this space for the last two weeks. And we have had a BLAST! SO many laughs and SO much girl power getting it all done just the two of us. Here is a peek at my design board and then a peek at the progress!

BEFORE…

IN PROGRESS…

First, a big HUGE THANK YOU to Urban Walls for this GORGEOUS removable wallpaper mural. I selected this one for the fun, abstract vibe and the beautiful ombre colors. This was my very first time installing removable wallpaper but I have to say that it was MUCH easier and MUCH quicker than I anticipated! We thought it would take two days and it took maybe two hours! We first laid out all of the strips to determine the full layout…

Next, we made sure the left wall was perfectly level and we lined up the first piece along the wall. Since the paper was a bit longer than the wall, we found it best to leave a bit extra above and below the molding. I started pressing the paper at the top and Abigail would hold it out while I slowly scraped it down with a scraper with a foam type end to keep from damaging the wallpaper…

Once all pieces were hung, we made sure the top and bottom of each piece was tucked firmly into the molding and then I cut across with an Exacto knife…

Quick Design Tip…

I have chatted about this once before but I LOVE using the “Layout” app on my iPhone to quickly visualize what products may all look like together in a s space. Here is an example from when I was rug shopping…

    Can you provide the name of the Layout app you’re referring to. I’m having a difficult time find in it in the App Store.

    Room looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Side note. I LOVE wallpaper you have in your dining room.

    Beautiful room! Thank you for the inspiration! Would you be able to share the name of the chandelier used? I have looked on the Crystorama website and am having trouble locating it!

    Thanks!

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!

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.

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!!!
