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!

Can’t even remember the last time I posted a ran Can’t even remember the last time I posted a random house view 💗 Gosh I miss the old IG days! Earlier this week I was drying my hair and saw the sunlight shining through the mirror and had to snap a picture. I’d say our 1908 home “library” functions much better as a bathroom these days 🥰 Just might be my favorite room renovation!
THIS @varaluz CHANDY 😍 I found this audio and i THIS @varaluz CHANDY 😍 I found this audio and it I reminded me of the daily… hourly… sounds that come from my ten year old 🤣 And possibly what I sounded like when I told Ab that she HAD to come see this beautiful new chandelier! It just went up in our historic renovation project and I’m in LOVE ♥️ Sharing more new renovation/design updates on stories today! P.S. We are lowering it for the actual room design but the “box installation” 😉 had it up a bit higher.

Renovating cabins together is where it all began f Renovating cabins together is where it all began for us ♥️ Looking back I can’t believe how much John just leapt right into it all with the first cabin I purchased just six months into dating but those moments are ultimately what led us to eventually take a chance and merge careers. I’ll never forget our 7am chat on the beach over Spring Break 2021 when we decided to go for it. We chose his resignation date and prayed we could make it all work! Needless to say, one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s not for everyone but working alongside my spouse is something I genuinely love. It’s the joint passion, path, visions, sacrifices and small victories that you get to experience together that makes what we do seem less like work and more like an adventure. Of course this project is complete but y’all know me… always adding and fluffing and zushing and dreaming! Here’s a peek at what we were up to last weekend. P.S. I shared a much bigger and better peek at the newly installed and newly styled pot rail in our kitchen on the blog this morning along with a tutorial on how to drill into tile. P.S.S. @serenaandlily is having their Spring Design Event where EVERYTHING (including sale items and this gorgeous new rug) are 20% OFF with CODE: SPRING 🌺 Happy halfway to the weekend again!

Our Portugal inspired fireplace is complete 💙 I Our Portugal inspired fireplace is complete 💙 I once heard that a home should speak about and speak to the people who live in them… or something like that 😉 and it’s stuck with me ever since. Although we completed the full renovation of our home years ago, my favorite part has been infusing us into making it feel like home. From travel trinkets to family memories and inspirations from abroad, that last 15% is always my favorite design part of all. Sharing all of the details on the blog and here…

Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest and most adorable student from France this month and it just so happened to be her 15th birthday yesterday! Although I thought it might be a bit creepy for me to stick to our standard tradition of sneaking into the girlies bedrooms at night for their birthday balloon wake-up “surprise”… I did sneak in Caroline’s room while she was in school yesterday. I know it can’t be easy to be away for so long so I wanted to treat her like my own and do a little simple something. It’s been such a blessing to have another kiddo join our big, crazy family this month. Joyeux Anniversaire Caroline! 🇫🇷
