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

May 24, 2021 by jessica

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.

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

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!

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.
