A Spring Refresh & Restyle of Our Back Porch Hanging Daybed…

Friday has come around once again my friends! Haha yes, I know it always does but this has seriously been the quickest week ever. Anyone else feel that way? It’s probably because my kiddos were out of school on Monday but this week has flown by. It may also be because the weather here in Georgia this week has been AMAZING! Highs in the high 70’s-low 80’s has me feeling all the feels for Spring. Except the migraines. Oh the allergy migraines. Grrr… I also feel like the warmer weather keeps the days from dragging along forever like they always seem to do during the cold Winter months. Or maybe that’s just me because I do NOT like cold weather. At all. But yes, I guess I like it well enough to name my daughter Winter. Hehe. Although we do end up calling her “Winnie” about 99% of the time. Which I LOVE!

Last week I swear it rained all dang week so with the fabulous weather this week, I was feeling extra motivated to get a jump on the Spring cleaning a little early and give our back porch a little refresh. Until I discovered that our blower wasn’t working which meant I’d have to sweep the porch. Sooooo my motivation hit a little bump in the road. LOL. Is that lazy or what?? I will blame it on the migraines. But I pulled through and got it all done. The next day. Yes, I seriously stopped cleaning and waited until Mark got home to see if he could fix it. But he couldn’t so I resumed sweeping the next morning. This is where I need the cute little monkey emoji covering his eyes. 😉

Last Summer I shared the first reveal of our back porch not too long after we had first completed “Our Historic Wonderland” and had gotten all moved in. And we have most definitely gotten full use of this space since then! Such a relaxing and cozy little porch that we use quite often Spring, Summer & Fall. Basically every day that it isn’t 30 degrees or 100 degrees. Which is a good bit of the year here in the South. That’s definitely one thing I love most about living in Georgia.

For this year’s refresh I teamed up with Patio Lane for a very much needed beautiful new outdoor daybed mattress and cover. When we had first received our outdoor daybed/porch swing about two years ago, I had researched outdoor safe foam mattresses and covers and I swear they were all an absolute fortune. So we decided to just use a standard twin mattress and add a waterproof cover. However, water always seems to find a way inside and the mattress has now become all kinds of disgusting. Like seriously ewwwww.

This year I discovered Patio Lane! Patio Lane is your online shopping destination for all things outdoor living. From outdoor cushions to outdoor fabrics, umbrellas and even fire pits, they have it all. They have very reasonable prices and even offer price matching if you find a lower price! Plus, they are the premium fabric distributor for Sunbrella fabrics as well as 1,000s of outdoor performance fabrics and textile supplies that cater to the awning, marine, automotive and contract/hospitality industries.

This time around, I decided to have a little fun and add some pops of coral, peach and pink to our little outdoor living room. I fell in LOVE with this beautiful Sunbrella Fabric in Cast Petal using their online cushion builder. I chose the medium firm foam with dacron wrap in a 75″ x 38″ x 4″ size. And it is a perfect fit! Here’s a peek at our newly styled covered back porch…

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
