Happy 2018!!! Holy moly I have missed you guys!!! It has been exactly two weeks since I closed my laptop and put away my phone to enjoy the Holidays with my family and I cannot even tell you how amazing it has been. When sharing your life is literally your job, finding a balance between mommyhood, career life and housewife duties is sometimes a struggle. Well, honestly kind of always a struggle. Mark and I have always lived by the motto “work hard, play hard” when it comes to work and travel so I tend to apply that to my blog and design work as well. I told myself that I was going to work double-time for the first several weeks of December and then literally shut it all down for the Holidays. And that is exactly what I did. I even showed Addie my screen going black as I was turning off my phone and putting it away for the break.

So what have we been up to? Earlier this year Mark decided that he wanted to spend Christmas somewhere warm and sunny. Although we have made a tradition of spending Thanksgiving away, the idea of spending Christmas Day elsewhere took a little getting used to. Well for me, honestly a lot of getting used to. I truly thought Addie would be none too thrilled about the idea and totally have my back so we let her have the final say and apparently the girl loves to travel as much as we do! So two weeks ago today we packed our bags and flew to Miami for a 7-day cruise of the Caribbean. Mark and I have been on several cruises before but all were over a decade ago and long before our girlies were born. We chose our cruise based on the ports… St. Thomas, St. John and Tortola but they were completely changed after the devastating hurricanes that hit those areas earlier this year. It’s so sad to think about what those beautiful ports and islands look like today. Instead our boat stopped in Mexico, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and the Bahamas. And we truly had THE BEST TIME. Being technology-free made it that much more fun plus I swore to my family that I would not take a single picture. And I stuck true to my promise! It was 100% family for 11 straight days. After we arrived back in Miami on Saturday, we then rented a car and drove to Orlando to take Addie to Harry Potter Land. We had given this “leg of our Holiday adventure” to her for her birthday and she was pumped! So much so that we arrived at Universal Studios at 7:45am on New Years Eve and her and Mark literally closed down the park at 1am!!! I wiped out several hours prior but that girl was on a serious Harry Potter high and got the absolute full Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley experience. As part of my technology-free Holiday, I decided to not blog our travels as I normally would but I can promise you that there will be LOTS more to share in 2018!

Today is back to reality. The girls started back to school today and I am popping in to say hello and share a HUGE SALE. The break was so fabulous that I have decided to spend another week or two getting caught up on life so this is kind of my “yes I am alive and well” blog post. Mark and I have SOOO much going on in 2018 that I decided to spend a couple more weeks getting organized around the house and caught up on projects before I dive back in the blogging craziness. I spent yesterday emptying our entire kitchen and storage areas to de-clutter and re-organize while today I am tackling the playroom with lots of trash bags. A job that can only be done while the kiddos are away. LOL! This morning I planned out the entire new second level of our flip house and tomorrow I am headed up to our cabin to see all of the new flooring and meet the painters and get them started on the renovation. Lots to look forward to in 2018! Thanks for popping in today and I hope that you all had the most wonderful Christmas and start to 2018!!! See you in two more weeks! XOXO

    Hi there! Just ordered the mermaid green loveseat from World Market and can’t wait for it to come in! At first I started regretting my color choice, but then saw it in your room and feel good! Couple of questions- what kind of blinds do you use in your dining room? Love that they don’t take away from the windows, but I’m guess still are able to provide privacy. And #2- are you liking your cream tufted living room sofa from Wayfair? I’m considering ordering the sectional version of that, but was nervous about how the fabric holds up with 4 little kids (eeeekk!) And do you find it’s deep enough to relax in? That was the only other negative thing I saw in the reviews and I want to make sure my 6 foot hubby will be comfortable. Sorry for a million questions- but just love your blog! 🙂 Thanks!

So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THI So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THIS HAPPENED 💍 for the other half of AW ♥️ The last three years have been something CRAZY for Ab and I but getting to not only witness but to also play a part in one of the happiest days in each of our lives over these last twelve months has been nothing short of PURE MAGIC ✨ Looking back at all of the tears and uncertainty and heartache we’ve each experienced “together” it feels kind of unreal that each of our fairytales have officially come true… absolutely INCREDIBLE, genuine, steadfast men that we both get to call our FOREVER AFTERS 🥰 There is truly NO ONE more deserving of a fairytale than Abigail. She’s more positive adjectives than will fit on this post… basically every single one in the dictionary… and then some. And believe me when I say that if Jess wasn’t absolutely perfect for her, I would’ve thrown myself on the sidewalk for all she’s done for me. These two love birds are the ABSOLUTE CUTEST EVER and I could not possibly be more thrilled for them and the countdown to their big day…. ♥️♥️♥️

My first true outdoor design project is coming to My first true outdoor design project is coming to life ♥️ And I’m IN LOVE! When John and I made the decision to keep my home and make it OUR HOME for the long term, I decided I wanted to bring the European vibes y’all know I LOVE into our own backyard. It quite honestly wasn’t even as much about adding a pool as it was about the vibe I’d been dreaming up as a whole. Wanting to create an outdoor space that felt warm, inviting, whimsical and elegant. All of the things I try so hard to evoke with my style. A place we can keep our now family of six entertained or just a place John and I can sip coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings as our kiddos are growing up way way too fast. Bringing what we love about the inside of our home to our fabulous backyard. Thank y’all for following the progress over on stories the last few weeks! It’s far-ish from done for me but you did say y’all wanted to see more pictures on my feed… 😉 Work done by @garrisonmessick and @connergrading ♥️
Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why not a little design advice and room details with every post too! 💗 I’m often asked if someone wants to start implementing a more colorful, pattern filled style in their home, where do you even begin? I think the best place to start playing around and living it up is sometimes the smallest of spaces where it’s “okay” to play it up! Laundry rooms, powder rooms, mud rooms and of course kids rooms can be great place to start. I mean, who doesn’t love walking in the door from a busy, stressful day into a vibrant, fun mudroom?!? A few details… The trim color in here is a color I created for our kitchen six years ago now that I am still completely obsessed with. It is a 50-50 mix of Sherwin-Williams Uncertain Gray and Stardew. Both at full strength. It is the most perfect gray blue and it never gets old! Also, this wallpaper is available at shopaddisonswonderland.com and I also blogged a full detail tutorial on how we created this penny tile floor writing. Search “penny” on my blog under the Menu. Happy Weekend!
Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so torn! I joined Instagram to share and be inspired by beautiful designs but I also love sharing the process and progress of it all on a Reel. HOWEVER, sometimes I’d love to just scroll and not have my phone blast a new song at every finger swipe. Anyone with me??? For today, sharing our newly completed living room ♥️ Feels so good to call it DONE! HAPPY WEEKEND!!! P.S. If you’ve been following along on stories we are doing lots in our newly landscapes backyard from filling it with furniture to filling pots to place around the pool. Hope you’ll follow along! Lots pictured here is on the @shop.LTK app under @addisonswonderland and about half including the pillows, lamps and lighting is from shopaddisonswonderland.com!

Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Although it is not Portugal, I am sharing the next best thing this morning, state side #ad  It's crazy when the vision you dreamt up over a year ago starts to turn into a reality😭😭😭 Y'all, I am over the MOON about these sofas.  I knew I wanted to go with leather in this space and the #SvenSofa from @article blew my expectations out of the water. This room is constantly used for game nights, late night hangs with the girls, and the occasional lazy Sunday nap AND it is SO dang cozy.  Who's coming over for dinner???  #ourarticle  Swipe to see where this room AKA the “Key Lime Pie Room” started… who else loves those office lights?!?
Feels like HOME ♥️ Today on stories I was shar Feels like HOME ♥️ Today on stories I was sharing on a questionnaire slide how much it pains me to hear that someone is “designing/decorating their home for resale” without any plans of resale in sight. You LIVE in your home! It’s your refuge, your family memories, your safe space and something that even if rented or for a moment in time is all “yours”. Let it give you all the feels 🥰 Everything is either linked on @shop.ltk or from shopaddisonswonderland.com
