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!

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!

Where did you find the drapery hardware in your ba Where did you find the drapery hardware in your bathroom?... what about your bedroom?... living room? It’s all @kirsch and it’s all STUNNING! Scale is everything in design and sometimes the biggest “misses” are in the details. With a huge assortment of difficult to find, thick rods, substantial finials and beautiful rings, as you can see something as “simple” as drapery hardware can absolutely MAKE a space.
