Folks… We Finally Have A Closet!!!

Happy Monday!!! I hope you all had an absolutely amazing Easter weekend! We had probably the most low key Easter weekend we’ve had since I can remember. Some of my family was out of town and Mark’s family was either sick or working so we hung out at church all day! We have always been the “elected host home” for all of the Holidays so it was kind of nice to not have all of that going on just this once.

Dress / Wedges / Sunglasses

I think I literally just FELT Mark rolling his eyes at me all the way from work as I wrote “low key”. Low key as in, we spent all day Saturday unpacking. Literally about 12 HUGE boxes plus maybe 4 smaller ones. The very last boxes we had left from our move. You see, we have not had a closet since last September. And it has not been fabulous. Since selling our home last Fall, we were either living in our rental home with pretty much no closets at all or living here in OHW where we have been using a small wardrobe rack I purchased from Pottery Barn. Sooooo we’ve done a lot of re-wearing the same things and buying way too many new things. Needless to say, I have been beyond anxious to finally be able to unpack it all!

Once our house sold last Fall, Mark and I decided at that time to speed up OHW completion and just finish it as quickly as possible so that it was “move-in-able”. Therefore a ton of projects took the back burner. Including our closet. So we finally started to tackle our closet several weeks ago, alongside our company APF, Inc., and we ALMOST finished it up last week! We still lack a countertop on the island, pulls on the island and window seat drawers as well doors on the back tall cabinet of the closet that I don’t show in this update, window treatments and some decorative stuff… BUT it was certainly ready for some clothes!

So that is what we did ALL. DAY. SATURDAY. Like be glad you didn’t pop by because we were in some moods. Mark said it took so long because I forced him to re-hang everything on cute new hangers that I bought. I say it took so long because he has way too many clothes! Like four drawers of T-SHIRTS!!! I say we shall just agree to disagree. Oh and if you ever want to purge some clothing, try boxing it up for seven months and then unpack it. You suddenly realize how much crap you have that you don’t even want anymore!

Before we loaded it up I took some pictures of the progress so I wanted to share it with you today! We’ve also been doing about a million and one other projects lately that I will be popping in to share more often than my usual posting. Just to give you a hint at what’s to come… Last Friday Mark said “soooooooo are you going to wallpaper the ENTIRE house?” I mean, maybe close! Hehe. So stay tuned!

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!!!
