Our Loft Refresh with Avalon Shutters
This is a sponsored post for Avalon Shutters. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
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!
About Avalon Shutter
Since 1986, Avalon Shutters has been committed to true American craftsmanship. The Avalon journey started when Bob Marcynyszyn and Doug Serbin, both master carpenters, began their business out of a two car garage in Redlands, Ca. Now, the largest custom shutter manufacturer on the West Coast, Avalon Shutters produces their quality shutters in a 150,000 square foot facility. Avalon carefully selects the highest quality U.S. wood suppliers to ensure their support of the need for increasing tree growth. Avalon also participates in Green Manufacturing, minimizing their carbon footprint in Southern California and the planet.
Today, Avalon operates as the West Coast’s #1 Custom Shutter Manufacturer, serving all of the West Coast, including parts of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho.
Prior to our loft refresh, we purchased Avalon shutters for ALL our downstairs windows as well as our master bedroom. We also worked with Avalon Shutters on our closet and bathroom remodel! Conveniently, if you need financing, orders can be made through Home Depot! Originally, I installed cheap white blinds over our two loft windows and it didn’t really elevate the space the way I wanted them to. The shutters were the perfect addition to our windows above our stairwell and desk and I LOVE the amount of natural light that comes through. You can get more details on all that they install, HERE.

I’ve linked the majority of the items below! The couch was from the World Market Outlet, so I wasn’t able to link it, however, I have added one similar. Neil and I DIY’ed that board and batten wall as well as made and installed the shiplap and floating shelves ourselves. We replaced the carpet with luxury vinyl pl
Thank you Avalon Shutters for taking our window game to the next level and completing the look of this space! The quality is unmatched and they make ordering and installing so easy and quick! Our shutters in our living room and kitchen look just as new and it’s been 5 years so far. If you are on the fence about whether you should take the leap and order these, I’m telling you it’s SO WORTH IT!

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This festive #holidayappetizers is soooooo easy to make and so cute too! Take your Holiday party to the next level with this simple and fun brie recipe!
•store bought frozen roll dough (thaw and let rise for 3 hours)
•8 oz of brie
•1/2 stick of melted butter
•1 tsp minced garlic
•1 tbsp Italian seasoning
•fresh rosemary sprigs
•fresh cranberries
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. On a piece to parchment paper and a cookie sheet, set your brie in the middle. Place the roll dough balls around your brie. Slather the rolls and Brie in the melted butter (mixed with the minced garlic). Sprinkle seasoning on top and bake for approx. 20 min. Add rose mark and cranberries as garnish once out to the oven. This is such a crowd pleaser and quick to make. We’ve also used fresh dough made by my hubby (he’s the bread baker 🤣) and that works amazing too! Let me know how you like it! Enjoy! #recipereel #holidayrecipes
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
#ad #WalmartPartner I’m getting my home ready this Fall for all my overnight Thanksgiving guests with @walmart 🙌🏻 Through this holiday season, I want to make my guests feel at home and as comfy as possible.

SO happy it’s not 100 degrees this week and we’re actually having cooler mornings. It’s Finally Fall! #sweaterweather
Added #Maui to the wall…… can’t wait to add to the collection next trip 🙌🏻🤣
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I mean…..can you blame me?!? Love, love, LOVED our time spent there. #mauihawaii
SWIPE LEFT FOR A LAUGH I thought this deserved a permanent spot on my feed as proof I got @theeneil to do a couples massage while in #Maui complete with an outdoor soaking tub, shower and outdoor Hale for our massage. We went straight from Hawaii to Disneyland and when we got home from our 2 days at Disney and felt like we were 80, Neil asked if we could go get another couples massage. 🤣
Counting down until our next #Hawaii vacation. Last year was our first time visiting (we took the family to Oahu) and we loved it so much, @theeneil and I took a trip by ourselves to #Maui 🌊 Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thing’s for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and we’re already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not 🤣).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. I’m going to need another vacation after this vacation. 🙈 Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next trip… 🤣
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo 🤣… how’d he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of here…. #maui
#ad On my daily Target run, I grabbed some of my favorite @Ghirardelli Mint Cookie Milk Chocolate Squares! 🙌🏻 These rich milk chocolate squares are filled with mint and crunchy chocolate cookie bits.

So pick up a bag or two @target
Love when my closet is organized. Does anyone else like to clean their house before leaving for a trip? I hate coming home to a mess, so I clean beforehand! #closetorganization #blueandwhiteforever

They pair well with just about anything and polish off a white button down perfectly! Do yourself a favor and snag a few baubles of your own. #julievos
Whatever your style may be, I think it’s really important to make your primary bedroom a sanctuary. The blue hues really cheer me up each day. I think I read somewhere once that blue is a calming and serene color. Well, that color has thrown up all over my house and I LOVE IT. 🤣 #blueandwhiteforever #blueandwhitedecor
