The Big Plan

Whew! All I can say is that Our Historic Wonderland is coming along so quickly that my head is spinning. Mark was not kidding when he said that he would turn this sucker around in just a couple of months. Agh! At some point, very very soon, he will unfortunately be caught up to where I am on planning and he will be waiting for me. Not a huge life shocker for him I am certain.

So here’s the update… last week the framing was completed. There wasn’t too too much but you will see below that there was some demolition and re-framing to be completed for my floorplan re-arrange. As I discussed in my recent video, WATCH HERE, I kind of went in and changed just about every single room from their original function. Besides the foyer and living room, every single room was re-purposed to fit our family and what I feel will work best for re-sale. Yes, for once in my life I actually thought about re-sale. Which means we will likely live here forever.

Last week we also met with the electrician, plumber, insulation company, tech guy and heat/air company for the final plans on each of those areas. Sounds like no biggie except that meant I had to finalize where every single light fixture will go… every single sink, toilet, tub… every floor vent (i.e. no cabinetry or built-ins need to be underneath them), every speaker (Mark has this insane desire for our home to be like Phillips Arena) and every wall outlet. Otherwise known as I needed to completely design the entire home in my head. No biggie. See Mark, written out that sounds like a lot, right?!? However, I am thankful that he is rushing me a bit. I will otherwise change my mind a gazillion times and likely move all of the rooms around once again. He is the yin to my yang. The calm to my storm. And the reality check to my dream world.

So today I am sharing the full “BEFORE” tour and plan in images. I shared a couple of weeks ago via video but I wanted to share images that I can then add to and thus create the full progress report. You will be seeing this post again in the next several days as I add update images from the same angles. So yes, basically I am posting this so I can refer to the images and angles when I go take pictures later today. I mean, if I am being honest. But you CAN really get a feel for the home and the character and how amazing it will be very very soon! Thanks for following along!

I have STRUGGLED to figure out a window treatment I have STRUGGLED to figure out a window treatment solution in my bathroom. The shower butts right up to the window trim, so a typical curtain rod was out but I knew I wanted some kind of drapery to soften all of the hard elements in the bathroom. Cue this STUNNING acrylic curtain rod from @calicocorners to solve all of my problems. It is sleek, streamline and adds a subtle nod to the other “glam" selections that went with this space. Calico now has a quick ship custom option that offers their same quality on window treatments! You get the custom look without the custom wait!

When the Palazzos are away… 😉 Brit ordered th When the Palazzos are away… 😉 Brit ordered the kiddos a bunch of new @walmart floats and pool toys before they left so I had to make sure and be a good friend and test them all out before they get back home. #walmartpartner Let’s just say they’re all Ab approved! We also may or may not have tested out their new LED pong float over the weekend as well 🤫 P.S. #Walmart has some amazingly cute swimsuits too! #WalmartFashion Linking all of their new backyard fun and swimsuits I got right here… #WalmartHome

Life Hack… marry your bestie and a good life jus Life Hack… marry your bestie and a good life just becomes that much sweeter 💗 My laugh lines have become much deeper and happy weight really is a thing but I wouldn’t trade it for the absolute WORLD. Cheers to almost three years of togetherness and one year of true marital bliss this Saturday with my soulmate. I never imagined I’d be right here right now literally, figuratively, mentally and emotionally but I’ll take it! 😉 He’s my confidant, my lover, my very best friend and my safe place to fall. Thank y’all for following along on our Summer adventures once again. Two more weeks to go and then once I get my new phone loaded back up (it was stolen at the Rome train station for those who missed that on my stories), I’ll have some fun new home stuff to share as well! But in the meantime, follow along on our travels over on stories! 🇫🇷

Currently daydreamin about a cozy cabin weekend… Currently daydreamin about a cozy cabin weekend… and just like that, only fifteen months later, our cabin is COMPLETE! Lolol. #ad I think all of those late nights and long weekends of demo and construction equate to quite a few cozy cabin weekends. In case you missed it, I blogged our cabin kitchen makeover a few weeks ago and I am IN LOVE… I get my vintagy European style “unkitchen” while John rocks out to Led Zeppelin and the kiddos play games on the refrigerator. The best of both worlds! Yep, our @SamsungUS 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with Family Hub not only has more space and features, but it also has sleek design I LOVE and Wi-Fi Connectivity! Sharing more over the blog! #samsunghomeappliances LINKED IN BIO!
