A Peek Inside Our Airbnb Garage Apartment Project…

Good morning friends! Today I am popping in to share some updates on our little garage apartment project. As I shared back in January, Mark and I had this crazy idea to turn the space above our garage into a super fun little airbnb rental for those visiting our cute little small town. I of course jumped on the idea of creating a super colorful and whimsical space with absolutely zero “rules”. We finished the space back when we completed our home but we had just filled it with “junk” when we moved in and it has sat in this messy/dirty state for the past year. Last month we decided to FINALLY clean it out and get it ready for paint and wallpaper and furnishings… all Addison’s Wonderland style of course! Once we cleaned it up, I mopped our beautiful Shaw Floors’ Castlewood Oak in Armory that I have yet to really share which are GORGEOUS! We have their Castlewood Oak in Tapestry in the girl’s playroom and art rooms and I can truly say that I am OBSESSED with this entire collection of hardwoods!

After all of the cleanup was complete, I found the most beautiful shade of blue/green called Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore for the window trim and several half-walls in the bedroom nooks. I decided to have only about 2/3 of the walls and baseboards painted for a fun little detail that didn’t visually “close off” the nooks by being too dark but still added a punch of color and fun to the space. Each of the nooks will have a queen sized bed and I plan to wallpaper the back window walls of each nook with THIS WALLPAPER. Next, I plan to wallpaper the entire back living/dining nook with this wallpaper…

Next week Mark will be completing a little kitchenette planned around THIS ADORABLE RETRO MINI FRIDGE and then it’ll just be down to furnishings and accessories! I have already purchased almost everything and it is all currently sitting in our basement awaiting “loading day”. Oh and don’t worry, there is a bathroom in the downstairs room of the apartment. There is also another good sized room when you first enter the apartment that I haven’t shared yet that will also be getting the AW treatment. I have a super fun wall art project I will completing in this space next week as well! Stay tuned for lots of updates!

Here is what I have purchased for the space so far…

I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

John and I took my love for all things colorful, m John and I took my love for all things colorful, meaningful and beautiful and married it with his functional, plant loving style for an outdoor kitchen styling makeover 💗 #ad Feels so cozy now that I just might start cooking dinner out here!

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options. Sharing everything I used in this project right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…

Lego creations along with baskets that hang perfectly on hooks for the loose blocks, we got mess out of our playroom floor and onto Winnie’s bedroom wall 💗 Oh and I even added a few fun and also super easy to “install” LED lights on top of each shelf as well!

John always nails the song choice 🤣 Yep, came h John always nails the song choice 🤣 Yep, came home from our month in Europe mega inspired as y’all have probably seen in my stories over the last few weeks. A little too inspired I guess because first up was painting our newly painted bedroom! 🤦🏻‍♀️ But it was soooo worth it right?!? The color is Dark Pewter by Benjamin Moore and it is STUNNING! Can’t wait to now tackle the rest of our bedroom design ♥️♥️♥️
