On the Right Foot: A Charming Cabin Makeover, Yellow Dresses, Easy Roasted Salsa, & More!

Happy Monday! We’ve been self-quarantining after our short getaway to Door County, Wisconsin, so the weekend was spent close to home planning a few house projects. We’ve been putting off staining the front stairs since we moved in three years ago (time flies!) and decided that enough is enough. I bought the necessary supplies at Sherwin Williams yesterday, took PTO for this coming Friday, and we’re going to get down to business! What’s in store for you this week?

Sadly, my cherry tomato plant never grew this year. If you had better luck with your quarantine garden and find yourself with an abundance of tomatoes, try this easy roasted salsa!

Two yellow dresses captured my heart last week: here and here.

I love making food with complex spice mixes, which is why this cookbook will be a welcome addition to my collection. I just placed an order for it!

The before-and-after photos of Alison’s cabin make me want my own little oasis in the forest, complete with wood paneling.

I’m such a fan of the city of Brussels and I found this piece on their history of ornate single-family homes really interesting.

Artist Bisa Butler gives identity to her Black subjects through a vibrant combination of portraiture and quilting.

This dress is darling and would transition from summer to autumn nicely.

These pork udon noodles are on the menu this week!

Le Creuset’s annual factory sale is on now, making it a great time to snag an heirloom-quality piece of cookware.

How the pandemic may shape the future of grocery stores.

In case you missed it:

  • Social distancing at its finest.
  • This month’s most coveted items and what gave me inspiration.
  • Celebrating International Cat Day with this cutie.

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
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.
