Yesterday was Dave’s birthday and I made my first bourbon pecan pie to celebrate! I used this recipe with a few adjustments after reading the comments: reduced the sugar to a half cup using only light brown sugar, increased the pecans by approximately a half cup, and increased the bourbon by a tablespoon. I used a classic Pyrex pie plate and had a bit of the mixture leftover that didn’t fit in the plate, so I just disposed of it. It turned out wonderfully!

I love these asymmetrical flower earrings!

Inspired by this house tour.

If you live in Madison, try Ahan! It’s so good! We did contactless delivery last week and I’m still daydreaming about the red curry udon noodles.

Did you know that platypuses glow under black light?

The most cheerful bathroom tile!

Since this won’t arrive before Christmas, start the new year on the right foot by upping your WFM style in this maxi dress. (I actually ordered it back in November and it just arrived today. It’s incredibly flattering, but you’ll need to go down a size.)

There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
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.

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.
