Putting the Final Touches on my Garage Apartment with Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Schlage for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Happy Almost 2020!!!! I am READY to say the very very least. A brand new year and an official new start to a brand new life! One that I get more excited about each and every day. As most of you may know, particularly if you follow me on IG stories, I have THE ABSOLUTE BEST assistant slash may as well be my business partner named Abigail. She is literally one of the best humans on Earth. Truly. So for a solid six months, LITERALLY, between Summer and early Fall, I had been trying to twist Abigail’s arm really really hard into moving into my garage apartment. I mean, who doesn’t want their assistant/confidant/bestie living even closer than next door?!? She was living over thirty minutes away and since she is literally here basically 24/7 anyways between helping me with the girls and the store and my blog and everything in between, it just made perfect sense for her to take advantage of the cute little apartment sitting all lonely above my garage 😉 And then late September, I FINALLY finished the inside of the apartment (post basement flooding craziness when I’d had to repurpose that space into my office), and she finally jumped on board several months and  MOVED ON IN!

Before Abigail could officially move in and call the cute little apartment her home, it needed one last finishing touch… a door lock! For that finishing touch, I chose the Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt. The Schlage Encode™ is the newest connected device to enhance the brand’s portfolio of innovative smart locks. There is sooooo much I love about this lock that works perfect for my new roomie. One thing is that with built-in WiFi connectivity, her and I both can have remote access from anywhere, without the need for a hub! It can be set-up and managed via the Schlage Home or Key by Amazon apps which is amazing! Also, the deadbolt was soooo easy to install with just a quick connection to our in-home WiFi for secure, remote access control.

Another really cool feature that would work GREAT if I ever decide to make the apartment into a rentable space in Airbnb is the ability to manage multiple guest access, by creating up to 100 unique codes for recurring, temporary or permanent access. This means you can create unique codes with specified schedules for guests that are only active during specified time periods. Literally PERFECT for short term renters! Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt also offers the ability to monitor access via customizable notifications when a code is used, or via the app activity log to see a historical record of when the lock has been accessed. How cool is that?!? I would have loved to have been able to access that type of information when we had our cabin for rent! You can also use Google Assistant to control your lock with your voice. When paired with the Schlage Home app, you can lock your door and check the status of the door by simply using your voice. Google Assistant is only compatible with Schlage Encode™ via the Schlage Home app.

The new Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt offers convenience, peace of mind, and it works with Key by Amazon, Google Assistant, and Ring Doorbell. It differs from other smart locks on the market in that it was designed to be the most versatile smart lock to date to provide homeowners, like me, with one trusted device that could operate across home ecosystems and platforms to deliver the performance consumers expect. One of the coolest features about the Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt is the fact that you can receive custom notifications when someone accesses the lock as long as you have the lock paired with your in-home WiFi network and the Key app. It is super easy to use and perfect if you have different people coming and going from your space. Whether you are providing custom codes for renters, a cleaning crew, or a babysitter, this feature makes it super easy to stay on top of who has been in and out of your home – which has eliminated any added stress or unnecessary worry I might have over my guests! It would even be perfect for an office space with the ability to customize entry for each individual person. Not to mention that the sleek design of the lock fits perfectly in any space. While I installed the Schlage Encode™ with Camelot Trim in Aged Bronze for my own garage, the deadbolt is also available in a contemporary Century style and a bunch of finishes including Matte Black and Satin Nickel to pair with Schlage interior door hardware.

Here is a peek at my brand new Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt…

    Hi Brittany! I absolutely love the exterior color of your home. On this post it says it’s a mix of 3/4 Soot & 1/4 Witching Hour, but on another post it says 1/2 and 1/2? Do you know which is more accurate? I really appreciate it!

When perusing antique malls for an old wood table When perusing antique malls for an old wood table becomes an album cover shopping trip turned gallery wall 💿 Ab and I spotted these fun, colorful covers while out one day and thought it just might be the perfect finishing touch in our historic fixer upper family room! With rose gold frames from @frameiteasy and a rather impromptu hanging method, this wall turned out to be the easiest, most colorful and fun project yet in our little brick cottage. P.S. Speaking of impromptu, John’s final addition looks rather staged but for Ab and I, we literally had NO CLUE it was coming and once Ab zoomed into the videos, we were dying 🤣🤣🤣 Oh John and his plants!
Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Watching old videos reminds me just how far this little house has come. My sweet dad helping me lay sub floor in the middle of summer after a long work day (which is just the TIP of the iceberg when it comes to the hours he put in on this house), the dance parties to keep from crying, and the bitter sweat memories of that year 💛 I have been DREAMING about this tub for quite some time, and @signaturehw brought all of those dreams to life.  I’m just so stinking thankful. It is seriously the most beautiful tub I’ve ever seen... So much so that we have another gorgeous copper tub, from Signature, going in this week at a clients house! Where are my girls, who love a moody space, at???🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🖤
Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable, pet friendly, kid approved, scratch-and-dent resistant, germ resistant, worry free and practically indestructible… hardwoods by @bruceflooring that have no added chemicals, are engineered for high traffic and have a commercial strength warranty. Yep, that option actually exists, and yes, it is made in the USA with 100% real hardwoods.  For all of the reasons listed above, I chose #Dogwood Engineered Hardwoods by #BruceFlooring in Sattler White Oak for our historic renovation and they turned out STUNNING! *TAP TO SEE THE FAMILY ROOM RENOVATION PROGRESSION* After once joking that I needed a hardwood flooring color that matched Cheerios crumbs, I've kind of stuck with that color-selection motto ever since, and they never disappoint! Lighter hardwoods (like this Dogwood by Bruce in Sattler White Oak) hide all the crumbs while keeping spaces light, bright and airy, (even with dark wall colors). Today on the blog, I’m sharing many more images and even more details! #sponsored
Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these are a more recent discovery since marrying into an Italian family but they were an instant hit! They’re a traditional Italian waffle cookie that’s super easy to make with a CucinaPro Piccolo Pizzelle Baker and they can also be made into so much more… from ice cream sandwiches to cannolis! John’s favorite dessert is cannolis and this makes them super easy to make while Winnie loves a good ice cream sandwich and Addie and I usually go for the chocolate dipped with powdered sugar 😋 They’re incredibly simple and look way more impressive than the actual skill level which is perfect for me! 😉 Mix it up, press them cooked in 50 seconds and BOOM! Sharing the recipe and a few of our favorites ways to prepare them. P.S. the @Cucina.Pro pizelle baker is available on Amazon and I’ve linked it in my bio!

Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ Wha Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ What if quite possibly one of the most forgotten spaces in your home could become pure magic?!? After quite literally carving out this hallway amongst bedrooms for the new floor plan we gave our historic fixer-upper, I knew I wanted to make the new archer hallway a STAR! It’s the center of the entire home and can be viewed from pretty much every single room. First was the installation of this incredibly beautiful mural by @belartestudio last week and then today the three pendants I spray painted over the weekend. Who knew a hallway could be my favorite space in a home! 🥰 Linking the mural and the pendants on stories tonight!
When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires an entire home 😍… Yep, one look at this @belartestudio landscape mural and the color story for our historic fixer upper came to life! Add in the fact that wallpapering together is mine and Ab’s friendship love language and it’s the project of our design dreams ♥️ Seriously though, you have GOT to see all of the @belartestudio beauties. We’ve already used several of their papers in design projects (sneak peeks at one will be on stories tomorrow!) and I keep trying to invent a use for one in our home too. They’re all STUNNING!!! P.S. Ab and her sound effects were ON POINT for this one! 🙌🏻🤣🥰
If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album co If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album cover 😉 Back in 2021, Ab @abigailbradl3y “took our kiddos to dinner” but instead snuck in the most incredible surprise photo shoot as a wedding gift. The images by @brianingramphoto were beyond STUNNING and we finally got around to framing and hanging one of my very favorites. Two years later 🤦🏻‍♀️ A true work of art that I will absolutely cherish forever and ever! Especially considering three of our four are off to college in what feels like no time 😭 P.S. All of the vases and florals are from @addisonswonderlandboutique and I’ve detailed and linked everything on the blog! Happy Weekend 💗💗💗
Already making a jot list of all the things that’ll get your kiddos off their devices and out the front door this Summer? I packed four Gel Blasters for Spring Break and they were a HIT! Kinda sorta almost more than the beach 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not even kidding when I say I think they went through more than 30,000 Gellets. In seven days. We loved them so much I got y’all a link (linked in my bio) and a discount code (BRITTANY10)! P.S. The Gellets are non-toxic and start to dehydrate after contact. Believe me… I wouldn’t have chanced messing up the backyard of our Spring Break Airbnb if they didn’t disappear quickly! #gelblaster #goplay #GelBlasterPartner
