Replying to @J THE STRIPES!!!!😍 I’m in love!!! I think it’s the cutest, girliest, frilliest bedroom ever!! My girls are going to freak out!!! I still have SO many ideas for this room in the future, but for now it’s done!! 🎀 What do you think???

Do you think we’re crazy to do the ceiling too??? 🤪 I think it is, but I also think it’d drive me crazy if I didn’t do it😂 It looks like a circus right now but I think it’s all going to be so worth it!!! What do you think? #bedroommakeover

Replying to @Kenna Elizabeth Art IT’S TIME FOR THE CHRISTMAS BUILD!!! We’re so excited to add some magic into the basement at the new house for our girls!! They’re not allowed down here until Christmas morning so that they’ll be surprised! What do you think of our plans??? I am so excited and also totally don’t know how the heck we’re going to pull it off in time 🤪🤪 HERE WE GO 🔨

Replying to @can't multiply Taping is DONE🙌🏻🙌🏻 hallelujah 🤪 Did you guess we used more or less rolls than 12?! I really think it looks like we used more! Next up is paint and if all the stripes bleed I will literally cry myself to sleep for a month 🫠😂 here we go!!!!

An update on renovating our dream home before we move in!! One thing led to another and now we’re changing out all the floors, knocking down walls, painting the whole house and more. We figure this is all so much easier to do while the house is empty! Knocking all the walls down was SO much work!! 😅 we were physically so exhausted everyday. And we’re so grateful we found @renvateutah to install our gorgeous @hewnfloor. Seriously 10/10 can’t recommend them enough. (Not sponsored! Just completely impressed) Next up is painting the whole house and I’m literally going to explode with excitement waiting to see it!!! Feeling so grateful everyday 🩷 #dreamhomereno

Replying to @saartjekuuk123456 Christmas Build is coming along and we have a frame and the walls! We’re starting to feel the pressure of the clock since Christmas is 15 days away and there are a lot of details and two more storefronts to build! Get ready for late nights and maybe I will try to put stripes on one of these houses just to start another great debate! 😂 #indoorplayarea #christmasbuild

Replying to @Royal Cat Cattery As far as which one is easier, personally, I think there are too many factors and preferences to give a straight answer! While taping the stripes wasn’t easy, neither is putting up wallpaper especially on the ceiling! What about removal? Or personally, how much do you hate skim coating and sanding drywall??🤪😂 I’m super curious with all the factors of cost, time and labor—-Would you tape it or would wallpaper??

Replying to @Lexus BUT WHAT COLOR DO I PAINT THEM?!!!?! 13 days to get it all done 😅💪🏻 #christmasbuild

Replying to @anna 🌷☀️🧸 Guys I hate the colors 😩😩😩 A little discouraged today! And exhausted🫠 we’ll get there!! I just keep thinking of the girls faces on Christmas morning and pushing through! #indoorplayhouse

Replying to @Katie We're getting so close!! ~ I am maybe the most excited about these stairs unwrapping them I am going to feel like a kid on Christmas morning! Even with everything just primed I love how bright and airy the house is feeling! We decided to go with Alabaster by @sherwinwilliams for walls trim and ceiling (in different finishes). I can't wait to see it!! Alabaster is what we had in our previous home and have loved it! What size pendant do you think over the kitchen? We're moving in so soon and I just can't wait #homerenovation

You know what’s necessary when you’re moving? A storage unit! If you’ve been here for a while you know we have used @Extra Space Storage units for the overflow from our house, as a place to store our summer furniture and for our many Christmas decorations. But when we were staging our house for tours we upgraded our Extra Space storage unit for more space and it was a lifesaver!  If you’re in the process of moving, selling your home or just need a place to put excess stuff from your house, Extra Space Storage is the way to go! They have locations literally all over the country, they are safe and well maintained, and we have access to our unit 24/7.  Now, what color do you think I should paint this island?! #kitchenmakeover #kitchenrefresh

Replying to @Sophias priv Now the fun part begins!!!! 🤗 Still freaking out about the 9 days until christmas thing 😬😅 #christmasbuild

I don’t know what we’ve gotten ourselves into on this one 🤣 I’m super excited to make the girls bedroom for them! They requested pink, girly, bows and no bunk beds! I thought painting the stripes on the wall wouldn’t be too bad but now I’m questions that decision 🤪😂 the girls are super excited about the plans so here we go!!

Replying to @Amanda Roberts Would wallpaper be better, easier?? I GUESS WE’LL NEVER KNOW!!!!! Because IT WORKED!!!!!!! Full reveal coming as quick as I can edit 😘😘

#ad The girl’s room is complete & can you see how happy they are with the end result? It makes all of that taping worth it! #ad Thanks to @Amazon kids+ for partnering with me on this project! We were able to not only give the girls a room of their dreams but one thing they require in their room is their @amazon Echo Show 5 Kids with an Amazon Kids+ subscription. The girls listen to parent approved music, audiobooks and get answers to all their pressing questions which has reduced the amount of “mom, why?” that I get asked!  The Amazon Echo Show 5 Kids plus their Amazon Kids Fire HD 10 Tablets were the best Christmas gift we gave them last year, nearly 365 days later they still use them daily! #AmazonKidsPlus

Replying to @PhantomValkyrie I’M IN LOVE!!!!!!!!😭😭😭 I can’t even believe it!!!!😍The links to the barstools, hardware, lights, faucet etc at the 🔗 in my profile #kitchenmakeover

IT’S TIME ✨ First Christmas Build in the new house!!!🙌🏻 What do you think we’re building this year?!

#ad I think the best thing I did this year was convince my daughters to drink more water and it is all thanks to @Cirkul. These water bottles have flavor cartridges that allow kids to naturally flavor their water, and they can choose their own flavor intensity with the flavor dial. If you want to get your kid something for their stocking other than socks, Cirkul is perfect!  When you make a purchase of $35 or more from Cirkul with my link - http://DrinkCirkul.com/Elise - (you can find it in my bio!) you’ll get a free stainless steel water bottle and flavor cartridge.

Obessed with them both!
