We Moved!

Monday, May 18, 2020


Back in August of 2019 we decided it was time for our family to make a move. I had always said that if our boys both got into Envision Science Academy, (ESA) a charter school, that we should move into the Traditions neighborhood. ESA is in the middle of Traditions. Shortly after that, both boys were proud Eagles at ESA and I again mentioned that we should move. 


We listed our beloved house and it went under contract in 10 days. These are some of the MLS shots from the listing. Prepare for photo overload. This is really a digital scrapbook for me to remember our house on Everstone Road. 


























This yard and our community of wonderful neighbors is what we miss the most. All the neighborhood kids gathered here to play soccer, baseball, football, nerf wars, you name it and it was played in this yard.



It was definitely tough to leave this home behind. We spent 7 years there.

I hope you all have a great week! 



Millon Dollar Model Upstairs

Saturday, March 28, 2015

Yesterday I shared the first floor of the model home that I can't get out of my head.  The ceiling and details throughout were stunning.  When you go up stairs you walk into the Homework Landing.  




From there you head down the hall to the bonus room.  I love it! My only complaint is that it is right off the Master Bedroom which defeats the purpose for me since it is the kids hang out space.


It was complete with a wet bar, microwave and beverage cooler drawers.


The Master Bedroom


I am a sucker for a claw foot tub.



This is the view from the upstairs Master Bedroom Balcony.


Three kids bedrooms.  I love the wallpaper panels in the "girl's room".



A view of the back of the house concludes the tour.


Photos don't do it justice, if you love peeking into real estate you should check it out.  This is not a sponsored post, I just think the house is really cool!

What was your favorite part?


Boys Room Progress-Part 3

Sunday, November 2, 2014

We are so close to finishing M&L's room!  Last weekend the shelves went up over Lucas's dresser and this weekend we finished the cornice boards for the windows.



We initially purchased red Lack shelves from Ikea for their room, but I thought since the boys' legos are so colorful that the wood tone would be better.  Plus, I got these for cheap on Craigslist!  


I had seen several tutorials online for using foam insulation to make cornice boards and thought it looked super easy.  I was wrong!  I think cutting thin plywood wood have been easier and we would not have foam pebbles flying all over the house.  Oh well!  They are done and hung now. 

I wanted to add ribbon trim to jazz them up a little bit, but the Hubby disagreed.


To trim or not to trim????

I picked up this fabric from Premier Fabrics in Raleigh.  I love having a local source for all of my Premier Prints favorites.

We are almost done with this space!  Here is what's left on the to do list:

  • Bookshelf/Hutch for between the beds
  • Sconces
  • Gallery Wall
  • Paint final 2 Star Wars canvases
  • Laundry hampers
  • Trick out the closet
  • Drawer knobs



Boys' Room Progress

Sunday, October 19, 2014

I hope you had a great weekend.  We certainly did!  We managed to make a lot of progress on the Boys' Bedroom by painting the walls, changing out their bedding, finishing their headboards, installing varsity font wall decals, painting a lamp and hanging some art. 


Lots of blogs out there will show one huge room reveal, but I thought I would use more of a One Room Challenge style of update and show you our progress as we go along.


This picture was taken before I painted the lamp.  You will get to see it red in the next round of photos.



Next I will be working on Star Wars canvases that will be part of a gallery wall. I already purchased the materials.  While at Michael's I scored an awesome pocket watch style red wall clock. I also placed on order for Ikea Lack wall shelves in red and super cute wall sconces.

Red White and Blue Boys bedroom inspiration

Sunday, September 14, 2014

Hey guys!  It's really starting to feel like Fall around here which means it's time for football, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and jambalaya!

My oldest, who is 5, has asked me to decorate his room.  Clearly we watch a lot of HGTV around here.  I love a red, white and blue boys bedroom and that's how Nick's bedroom was decorated as a kid too so it has special meaning.  




We already had a full size upholstered headboard for M's bed and just needed to recover it with different fabric.  We went on a quick field trip to the new Premier Fabric store in Raleigh and scored this navy link fabric.



Linked Blue White

Premier Prints had an awesome selection!  It was very tough to decide.  

   

I had completed the design boards below too and used these to let the Mason & Lucas decide what they like best.  They love being involved in the process.  I have ordered vinyl wall decals for each of them too.







One headboard is done! One to go!  Then we need to build cornice boards.  I am sure we will head back to Premier Fabrics in Raleigh.
