Today is the day! Today we OFFICIALLY begin construction! Ugh, yes, FI-NA-LLY! As you may know or if you are new to Addison’s Wonderland you may not know, we are moving! Yes, saying goodbye to our dream home and tackling a 1908 historic home renovation. We purchased the home almost completely demo’ed down to the studs and are creating our historic dream with 5,750 square feet of unique and one of a kind charm. And if you know me, I WHOLE LOT of color, pattern and fun design surprises.
After a month of craziness and permits and floorplan finalization, the demolition and framing work finally began this morning. Need a refresher on what I’ve shared on our new home so far? Here are my recent posts on Our Historic Wonderland!
We’re Just A Little Weird (the day we found the home)
Our Historic Wonderland (background and details about the home)
The Grand Tour (a fun and super speedy little walk-through with the family)
Ready to Join Us? (floorplan ideas and advice)
So today I am sharing on final super detailed walk-through and our final floorplan layout for the entire home (minus the basement). I hope you will follow along as we share it all! The next 6-8 months we will be taking you all side by side with us on our journey to creating “Our Historic Wonderland”!
Oh and sorry, there are two videos since they are kind of long. I promise I won’t be so wordy in the future! LOL! The first is an introduction and details. The second one is the actual house tour. Enjoy!

Hi Addison, Congrats on your new home! Love the house. I really love the idea of moving the kitchen so you can see into the living room and maybe having your dining room where the original kitchen use to be. Best of luck! I look forward to seeing what you do and your videos.
Awe thank you so so much! I so appreciate you following along!!
Love the plans! I’m a sucker for having things symmetrical so I REALLY like the way your kitchen will be set up & how aligned it will look from viewing it from the living room.
Yes! Me too! I aim for that in everything that I do! XOXO
Brittany,
I love your plans for this beautiful home!!! Can we just fast forward ahead 6 or 8 months to the finish? I can hardly wait!!!!!
Ugh yes! You are telling me! Patience is not my strong point. LOL! And thank you so much for being such a sweet, loyal blog follower Tolejala! You are so wonderful! XOXO
It’s going to be spectacular and I cannot wait to see how each room unfolds. You and Mark are brilliantly talented!! Such an inspiration. 🙂
Gosh you are too sweet! Thank you!!! XOXO
WOW! This sounds amazing. You are so talented to be able to have that kind of vision. I’m excited to see all the progress. It’s so fun to follow along.
You are so wonderful thank you!!!! XOXO
This is going to be a fabulous house! I really love your plans for the master bedroom, bath, and closet! I probably would never leave the master suite…hahaha. I also love the family room, kitchen, mudroom plans! Do you have plans of adding guest bedrooms in the basement? I heard you’re adding a guest bath upstairs but I didn’t hear about a guest bedroom. You also mentioned an office upstairs and I’m assuming that will be Mark’s office because you mentioned earlier that your office will be above the carriage house.
I’m so excited to see it all transform!
Awe you’re the sweetest! Thank you so much! We do have a guest room upstairs next to the guest bath 🙂 And Mark won’t have a home office but he has an office at our kitchen/bath company showroom so he will be good! LOL! Thanks again!! XOXO
This is the ultimate design project! I’m kinda bummed you won’t have a dumb waiter. Where’s the laundry room? I’ve always thought a dumb waiter for laundry would be fun, like, “Kids, here comes your clothes basket… please fold and put away!” 😉 Your bathroom with that fireplace is going to be AHmazing. Thanks for sharing!
Awe yes it is! I am soooo excited! The laundry room is right next to the mud room and we will have a door from our master closet to the laundry room which I am super excited about! Yes, I am bummed about the dumb waiter but it just took up soo much space. And it wasn’t even original. Just would’ve sounded cool to say we have a dumb waiter. LOL! Thanks for following along!
To bad you aren’t keeping the butlers pantry. That is so to the era of the house. It would be neat to be serving from the same place the original owners served from! I am real partial to having the dining room next to the kitchen. You don’t want to be carrying the turkey across the living room to the dining room. But I’m sure you’ll make it all gorgeous and can’t wait to see what your finished work looks like.
Yes, would’ve loved to keep it but it just didn’t work with our new floor plan. Hoping to re-purpose it though! I do keep going back and forth about the dining/living. We shall see! Thanks for following along!
Love your new floor plan! Can’t wait to see the finish design. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks dear! XOXO
Love love love! No way, you can’t rid of that 2nd staircase haha. I’ve always loved homes with a 2nd staircase! What are you going to do with the butlers pantry area. I absolutely love that too. What about putting your formal dining room in front of the fireplace so it’s right off the kitchen and your formal living room where you plan to put the dining room. Just a thought. I love the plans you have for the mudroom and bedrooms! I’m new to your blog and IG and can’t wait to follow along!
Haha I totally agree! It was difficult to lose but it added an entire room upstairs for us! Otherwise it was a complete waste of space. Would’ve been so cool though! Thank you dearly for following along!!! Yes, I keep going back and forth about the dining/living room idea. We shall see! XOXO
Wow! Dream home!
