Mini Moments: May 2018

Mini Moments: May 2018

May is typically one of my favorite months and this year was no different. I had the opportunity to take a Prius for a spin and explore Madison like a tourist, we had a fun “house crawl” outing with our awesome neighborhood friends who we met less than a year ago, I turned 35, and we visited Austin to celebrate.

Mini Moments (top to bottom, left to right):

  • Went for a birthday dip in the pool to cool off from the sweltering Austin heat, and purchased a pair of pink sunglasses to celebrate.
  • Spent the afternoon meandering around Madison, which typically includes a stop at the record shop.
  • Visited the Texas State Capitol. I know it’s supposed to be an impressive one, but we get spoiled in Madison with our own.
  • Stood in line for way too long to get Torchy’s Tacos on Memorial Day, but the queso and the ahi tuna taco more than made up for it.
  • Celebrate the start to year 35!
  • Found the “Greetings from Austin” mural, even though it was too sunny to take decent photos of ourselves in front of it.
  • Picked up flowers from the farmers’ market in Madison.
  • Frequented Easy Tiger in Austin. We went every day on our trip, either for coffee and pastries in the morning or for beer and snacks in the evening.
  • Sipped on one of my favorite cocktails: the Aviation.

Upcoming Plans:

  • Paint two more doors, remove the paint from their hardware, and hang.
  • Paint the upstairs hallway.
  • Order hardware for the upstairs built-in. I’m going to go with these.
  • Purchase the remaining three sconces for our living room when we visit Portland at the end of the month.

More Mini Moments: January, February, March, April

I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together.

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)
