Pantry progress! All DIY with basic @homedepot cab

Pantry progress! All DIY with basic @homedepot cabinets and butcher block, @zia_tile zellige backsplash, @stofferhome hardware and @wayfair lights! Still to come: grout, wine cabinet, and two full wall shelves. I’m still brainstorming other great additions for the space, do you have any ideas?!

Only one old sled, kid gloves don’t arrive till Monday, no hanging apparatus’s in the mudroom, didn’t install the eaves warmers— aka wildly unprepared 😂, but so stinking cozy and happy in our first snow! Happy Friday!

Capture of my babies being each other’s best friends in this sweet spot we find ourselves in life. You always hope you’re doing a good job, and every now and then you see that you’re doing just that. 💛✨

The front door is in and it’s an eye catcher with the height and amount of glass. I love being able to see outside the front side of the house now! No sneaking up on us anymore 😉. Fun fact though, we didn’t add a doorbell. Why? My least favorite game is the kids playing ding dong ditch 🤪🙉. So I might see you coming, but I’ll most likely not hear you coming. 😂

Door species: Hemlock
Coating: Clear Coat
Wall Stone: Creative Mines Craft Orchard Limestone in Timberwolf
Grout: White

We’ve realized that the amount of house projects

We’ve realized that the amount of house projects on our list requires us to buckle down in the midweek and get things done after kid bedtime! It’s a little tiring, makes for some great marriage bonding, and results in beautiful things like the #zelligetiles backsplash from @zia_tile getting done! 🥳 💃🏼

We will be cutting in a top layer under the hood and grouting the tiles this week! The application process was super easy and creatively refreshing. No spacers, nothing exact, just puzzle fitting these wild edge tiles to get what we needed! The random textures compliment other tile choices in the downstairs (entry and mudroom!) and supplements the cozy factor needed for this new build.

We’re excited to pick up the interior finishing pace while the weekends are spent working on the pool fence. Have any questions about the tile?!

The only person I disappoint in not dressing up for halloween is myself. 😂 (LITERALLY, if my husband was sworn to never be asked to “dress up” again he’d probably buy me a new diamond ring 💍🤣.) Alas I can’t handle the self disappointment, so I scrounged this outfit together 20 minutes before heading out the door and had my kids singing “You’re the one that I want!” all the way to trunk or treating. Now it has a place in the feed as our first “dress-up” in this house 💋🏠. Who needs to go watch this scene in Grease right NOW?! 💃🏼🕺🏼

Yesterday I worked side by side with the Mr. to get more pool fence panels up. The kids entertained themselves (they did so great!) and we had just an all round awesome family Saturday. There’s something special about putting your own house together in some way. I’m always the one inside decorating and organizing, but my goal is to learn how to be more hands on and competent with tools and building like my boo! Looking forward to a family Sunday and Halloween fun! 🎃 (Also that sunrise…)

Exterior update photos with the chimney garage and windows accents done! How many times did we drive by that road thinking “one day we’ll have a house there…” Dreams come true. Feeling so thankful and at home.

Here is the kid and guest bath! You know I’m never one to leave a bathroom out in the cute design process 💁🏻‍♀️🚽✨, so I made this one fun with a custom wood vanity, off the wall mirrors, and cute lighting! Then I made it functional with @walmart folding black stools and cute country shower curtain! The quartz counters ( @wilsonart Coastal) were an after thought when we realized we’d be paying for a full slab for our vanity, so half went in here! I’m happy that this bathroom will have longevity with quality products! I’ll share more in stories! See you there!

A little morning progress shot for the record. Also horizontal, because why not! Excited for what’s to come in this room, but I’m all about the slow design process. Why? Better decisions, slower money out, and the reality that some projects take time to get done! (My handyman [hubby] has a long list of projects 😂💞) . Any questions?!

My moon and stars. 💫🌙 💫 . Excited to be settled in this magical place they get to call home. One day they’ll “be tired of small town life” and peace out for a while, but I know part of their hearts will always be here. Here’s to making mountains 🏔 of memories in this beautiful land the next 14 years before they fly the nest. (🥺💛#staylittle)

The exterior stone is all wrapped up and what a beaut it is. Our amazing masons installed @creativemines Craft Orchard Limestone Timberwolf just as I asked and we love driving home to it! It’s the perfect centerpiece for adding old world charm to our modern exterior. We’re still waiting on the wood window accents and front door and sometime we’ll start planning the landscaping and other exterior goodies. Feeling very blessed to call this home. 💛

My free BST armoire turned out exactly as I was hoping!! So glad I kept waiting and stalking until I found the perfect (and free? 🙌🏼) one! I painted it Benjamin Moore Gray Horse, a cool grey that has blue/green undertones. Something a little different for my warm tones house. So happy to have some storage downstairs to hide the toys 😅! Storage is my jam. Double tap and drop a comment to keep having our most recent projects show up in your feed! 💛💛

The upstairs contrast doors are in. I love the way the slight color difference adds warmth and character to this new build. Without testing it (🙈story of this house) I went with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist. I liked the gray, purple, tan hues and how subtle it was compared to some other “greiges”. I think it will be a great color to pull into the rooms for other accent pieces like dressers and wardrobes! Would you do a contrast door?

We passed inspection yesterday 🥳, the lovely cleaners came through and we finally got to unveil the couch and rug we bought back in May while in Germany! More details to come on those. Right now I’m going to sit down and soak up that clear window mountain/lake view in our new home. 🥺💞 Thanks to all my cheerleaders and followers here that have ridden the journey with us so far! There are so many fun things to come as we continue to wrap up the build and cozy up this home! Stay tuned!!

My other half got home last night after a business

My other half got home last night after a business week away. It was only 4 days of me flying solo, but oh my goodness how I missed his grounding, problem solving, parenting balance, presence! Icing on the cake is that the cleaners and inspector come today! I might cry a little at this milestone. We’ve still got work to do, but we’ll finally be able to settle in our own home after 4 years and 4 different moves. 🥲 Keep an eye on stories today for updates.
