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!

Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue in my design work for so so long but this cabin has turned the tides for me and now it's all things GREEN! #sponsored From the tone on tone green to the colorful textural reflections in our @7levelhome custom metal frame glass cabinet doors. What is your favorite feature in our new kitchen?

A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... h A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... her very own little dressing area! #ad And a little hint hint for her to lay out her clothes the night before 😉 As y'all may have seen on my stories a few weeks back, I was deciding between two fun ideas during the C<span style="background-color: rgb(234, 212, 107);">reative Co-Op </span>#amazonprimeday and got y'all to vote. This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

John and I took my love for all things colorful, m John and I took my love for all things colorful, meaningful and beautiful and married it with his functional, plant loving style for an outdoor kitchen styling makeover 💗 #ad Feels so cozy now that I just might start cooking dinner out here! Well… maybe once the Fall weather hits 😉 Sharing lots of affordable @walmart finds for the perfect indoor or outdoor space right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options. Sharing everything I used in this project right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…
