Happy Monday! It’s hard to believe we are in the last week of May! I feel like I’m stuck in March in my mind. Is anyone else feeling that way? . . I have had several people reach out to me asking questions about different parts of our home and one of the big questions I get online and in person is about the brick. I decided I would make a post about our brick and save it to highlights for reference. . . The brick we chose is @meridianbrick and the color is White Hillstone from The Hillcrest Series. It has turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the house because of the clean yet textured look of it. . . When we first started this project we thought we were going to buy brick and simply paint it white. Well, over time that idea changed and we knew we wanted a brick that we did not have to paint yet still had a clean classic look to it. . . Apparently, this brick was fairly knew to our area but we knew right away it was the brick we wanted for our home. Now that the brick is almost finished we definitely think this brick brought the #modernclassic element that we were looking for in our exterior brick. . . If you have any questions about our brick, please reach out to me and I will help in any way that I can. I’m beyond thankful for this community and how much it has helped us along the way and I will do whatever I can to provide that same support back to anyone else who is on this same journey or considering building one day. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #brickhouse #brickexterior #brickhomes #brickhomedesign #modernclassic #moderntudor #exteriordetail #exteriordesign #whitebrick #modernbrickhouse #classicexterior #buildingahome #newbuild #brickwork #design #architecture #bricktastic #home #designingourhome #customhomedesign #customhomedetails #buildingjourney #buildingresources #homedetails #ourhome #ourhomethisweek #moderntudorhome #moderncottage #moderncottagestyle #designdetailmagazine
“The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” Jeff Miller . . Today we honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We should remember them yesterday, today, and tomorrow and never forget to honor them through our actions and attitudes. . . This is a picture of my Lincoln honoring my grandfather who fought in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. My grandfather did not lose his life at war but what he lived through definitely changed him for the rest of his life. . . This first picture was taken on Memorial Day three years ago after placing American flags at the gravesite. Lincoln stood back for a moment of silence and immediately lifted his hand to his forehead to salute my grandfather. I just happened to catch the emotional moment in the shadow. . . May we always remember the men and women who fought for our country and who gave their lives for our freedoms. My hope is that we are also raising the next generation to truly understand what that sacrifice means. ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #memorialday #usa #army #usarmy #usarmysoldier #wwiiveteran #battleofthebulge #soldiers #honor #memorial #americanflag #salute #kidsofinstagram #shadowphotography #beautifulmoment #capturedmoments #momentintimephotography #mayweneverforget #pupleheart #bronzestarmedal #bronzestarveteran #purpleheartveteran #grandfatherandgreatgrandson #family #salutingourheroes #salutingthebravest #myson #mygrandfather #honoringourheroes #emotionalmoment
Happy Sunday! I have another house question today and I would love your input! . . I want to thank everyone who took the time to help me with my stair runner question yesterday. Your input has helped guide us and brought to light an option we had not considered. Thank you! . . Since yesterday’s post helped bring clarity I decided to ask an exterior light question today. I know these are not important questions in the grand scheme of life right now but these are questions we are working through and the insta world has been super helpful through this process. I truly appreciate any input from insta world. . . This picture is the side door to our house from the driveway. This door goes right into the pantry and beverage station area of the house. Basically, we will be unloading groceries here and this will also be a high traffic door for kids in and out from playing outside to running inside to get drinks and snacks. . . Do you see the off center light above the door? Well, the light was centered above the door but it got moved when they put up the brick so we have to adjust it. Suddenly, I could see this light in a different light (no pun intended ha!). . . I actually tried to create pictures of the different options for the space to help me make a decision. I would love to know what options you would choose? . . Swipe to see the following options A,B,C,D: . A - Light light centered over the door without an awning. . B - Light to the left of the door with an awning over the door and light. . C - Light to the left of the door with an awning over the door part only with the light to the left. . D - Light to the left without an awning . . If you see this post, I would love to know which one you would choose? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .L #exteriordesign #architecture #design #exterior #home #render #modern #homedesign #moderntudor #moderntudordesign #cottage #moderncottage #mycovetedhome #HowYouHome #TheNewSouthern #MakeTimeForDesign #HowWeDwell #CurrentDesignSituation #InspoToYourHome
I have a house question for anyone who sees this post and is willing to chime in and give me their opinion. The question is related to the format of a stair runner for awkward stairs. . . To go wide are stay the same... that is the question! Stair runners are tricky. I never knew they were tricky until this week when I had to decide on how I want my stair runner to go on my stairs that get wider at the bottom of the stairs. . . I decided to take painters tape to get a visual of what this will look like in our home in order to make an informed decision. Guess what? I’m still questioning myself because that happens when you build a house with details at every angle. I have options A and B in the slides and a video for each. Which one would you choose? . . . Option A: The painters tape and pics are showing a stair runner that transitions wider at the bottom to accommodate the width of the stairs. . . Option B: The painters tape and pics are is showing a runner going down and staying consistently the same size all the way down the stairs even though the stairs get wider. . . What would you do? Option A- the runner transitions and gets wider at the bottom? Or Option B- the runner stays consistent the entire length of the stairs? . . I know these are totally not important questions in the grand scheme of life, but this insta has our house details on it and the community on Instagram is amazing especially the house community and I would love your insight. . . Also, I want to thank @carpetworkroom for also generously taking the time to help me with this question. They are truly the best! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #DesignSponge #MyCovetedHome #HowYouHome #TheNewSouthern #FindItStyleIt #MakeTimeForDesign #HowWeDwell #CurrentDesignSituation #SimplyStyleYourSpace #VogueLiving #MyOKLStyle #InspoToYourHome #Interior_and_Living #ElleDecor #RugMadeTheRoom #moderntudor #modernclassic #classicmodern #madisonmoderntudor #designquestion #stairrunner #stairrunners #buildingacustomhome #customhomedesign #buildingahouse #buildingahome
We are another day closer to moving home. We look forward to being back in the hood with our amazing neighbors. . . I know our neighbors will be so glad to have relief from the sounds of construction. They have been super patient and kind throughout this entire journey and we are grateful for each of them. . . This weekend we will be working on the house details. #shocker I’m thinking next Memorial Day we will have a party at our house and invite everyone and their cousin.😊😂 . . Do you have any fun plans for this holiday weekend?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #memorialdayweekend #memorialdayweekend2020 #moderntudor #ourmoderntudor #buildingahome #buildingacustomhome #ourhomebuildingjourney #weloveourneighbors #brickhouse #brickexterior #masonry #brickwork #whitebrick #modernclassicstyle #modernclassichome #classichome #classicmodern #tulsahomes #gettingclosertobeingdone #almostdone #friday #may2020
"After years of having a dog, you know him. You know the meaning of his snuffs and grunts and barks. Every twitch of the ears is a question or statement, every wag of the tail is an exclamation." Robert McCammon . . This quote could not be more true. This is my sweet LJ and if you have followed my on Insta for very long you know just how much this sweet boy means to me. He truly is a huge part of our family and he is loved by our boys. He has been growing up right along with our boys and we call him their fur brother. We adopted LJ on 1/22/2015 exactly one day before our boys came to live with us. That is how LJ got his name because he is named after Lincoln and Jackson. . . My little LJ is not doing so well and my heart is just crushed about it. Yesterday he started crying and acting like his back leg was hurting and he suddenly couldn’t walk. I spent three hours at the emergency vet hospital while they tried to figure out what was wrong. . . They discovered that he has something wrong with his spine and he is now on a lot of medication. When they finally brought him back to me at 6:00 last night he was completely drugged and in pain. My heart is just broken knowing he is having a hard time. If you think about it would you say a little prayer for our boy today. He needs it right now. My heart would be crushed if he did not get better. I just have to believe that he will get better. . . Do you have a family pet who is truly connected to you like a human? That’s our LJ to us. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #family #familydog #dachshundsofinstagram #rescuedog #rescue #furfamily #furchild #dogmom #mysweetboy #familypet #livehim #hewillgetbetter #myheart #mysidekick #dogmomlife #ourfamily #tulsapets #tulsafamily #dachshundlove #dachshundlove #dachshund #getbettermysweetboy
