The Powder Room at The Oaks

I cannot believe we are to the point of starting to create and personalize each room at The Oaks!

If you are lost and wondering "What is the Oaks?", "Where is this place?" You can find out from the very beginning on my

This is/was my inspiration for the Oak Power room. You will see as we continue to finish the Oak the vibe I'm going for is very much so moody and earthy!


Let's check out the first reveal here at The Oaks!


Before

After

I am in love with how this main floor powder room came to life! My vision for moody was my goal the entire time and boy do I love!!


The color is called "Wooden Arces" and it is a very Chameleon color. It looks chocolate brown at times and dark green at others, but I love it! I decided to color drench this room too so I painted the ceiling too. It is such a vibe! 

Before

After

I told Ryan "I think this bathroom could fit right in over at the Magnolia Silos in Waco, TX!" It is giving me Magnolia feels and I am loving it. One of the many fun things about having rental properties is getting to play around with different design styles and try things that are a little bit more out of the box that I love. Including the look of this powder room!

We decided to do one huge picture molding on each wall for a little grand detail and it dresses it up just perfectly! Picture molding can be time consuming but it's a great affordable way to elevate a room!

The small hex tiles are oh so adorable but don't be fooled, they are tricky to make sure you have even spacing. If you get off even just a little bit you throw the entire pattern off. Take it from me who had a little hiccup with these little guys, but no one will know right;)

Stay tuned for more Oaks reveals coming soon!!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
