Ahhhh! I am so so excited to share my recent partnership with Gray Malin! For years, I’ve been a fan of his work and have collected so many different pieces to display in our home! When Gray Malin asked to showcase me as an Art Curator, I was honored. Today, I want to give you a peek into my home and share which Gray Malin Art is my favorite. Not only will all artwork be shoppable, I’ve also linked quite a few home items as well. So without further ado….apriljwagner x Gray Malin Art Curator Spotlight is live!

I can’t believe it’s November!! Time is literally flying by! We’ve been busy traveling, dealing with medical appointments and Halloween. However, in between that, we managed to do our loft refresh with Avalon Shutters (also called the kids hang-out room haha). Again, we worked with our go-to shutters company, Avalon Shutters. Take a look at some before and afters of our space and see how we turned this boring blank space into a fun kids gaming area complete with a retro refrigerator and more!
If you’ve been following over on my Instagram stories (Apriljwagner), you would have seen glimpses of the redesign of our master bedroom. I am so excited to share with you the finished product! I’ve linked all the items in the room and even have a few discount codes for you to use on your own items if you feel so inclined to purchase! And believe me, you will, haha!

I’d love to introduce you to my “new” Vintage Vespa! I’m still unsure what to name her, but she sure is pretty! I’ve wanted a Vespa for years and recently Neil and I began the search for the perfect scooter. After checking out a few shops in the city that carried all sorts of new vespas and vespa-like scooters, we stumbled upon BelloMoto and I’m so glad we did!

You guys….it actually rained here today! And it’s cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesn’t exasperate my #potssyndrome 🙌🏻 Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didn’t run errands, I didn’t clean anything. It’s been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. 🤣 #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This one’s a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!
•one package store bought puff pastry
•mini brie
•pumpkin butter
•egg for egg wash
•cooking twine
•cinnamon sticks
Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem! I have also used cream cheese and goat cheese instead of the Brie! Enjoy! #holidayappetizers #recipereel
