On the Right Foot: An Easy Pitcher Cocktail, Showering Every Day, An Artist to Follow & More!

Happy Monday! Our bathroom remodel is getting real! We’ve had two contractors stop out so far, but only one returned quote which came in at $15,500 — right where we were expecting. I’ll share more about this saga in another post, but it’s so much more exciting now that we have an actual cost to plan for and products that we’ve started earmarking! We’re on the cusp of my 38th birthday (coming up on Sunday) and this feels like peak adulting.

Nicole Richie’s Creator Collab is a good one.

I’m loving Wyeth’s work and recently purchased this piece, which reminds me of early mornings at state parks. (For those of you looking to begin pet art collections, browsing Instagram and purchasing original pieces from small artists is a great way to start!)

Over the weekend, I made the strawberry, basil, lemonade pitcher cocktail as outlined here (sans simple syrup; it didn’t need it). Give it at least a few hours to infuse, but overnight is better.

If you ever wanted to know what paint color most closely matches a vintage Coleman cooler, here you go.

Your standard square and rectangle tiles can be anything but basic.

Cheez-Its turn 100 this year! Here’s a brief history of arguably the best cheese crackers in America.

This ceramic and wood planter caught my eye recently.

After seeing numerous articles recently about the lax showering standards during the pandemic, I fully identified with this op-ed in favor of daily showers.

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. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

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.

• 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.)

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
