On the Right Foot: Life Lately + This Week’s Links

May 15, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

Why hello there! Time sure flies, doesn’t it? The past month and a half has been incredibly busy with work, so the last thing I want to do when I have time to myself is be on the computer. Instead, I’ve been spending my free time at the pottery studio, dusting off the bicycle for the year, cultivating my green thumb, and hanging out with the cutest cat (I know, I’m biased).

Pictured clockwise from the upper left: lazy Saturday mornings with Lily; a camera roll of pretty blossoms make allergy season worth it; went to the Memorial Union Terrace for the first time this year and enjoyed lakeside beers; beyond proud of this round vase I threw at the studio; installed two raised garden beds (we’re waiting to see how much sunlight we get behind the garage before filling them); enamored with Bandit Tacos.

It’s getting too warm for our down comforter, so I placed an order for the quilt that I’ve had my eye on! It arrives today and is great motivation to finish up our bedroom design and share photos with you!

You have to make this rhubarb pie. Don’t skip the butter crust!

Botox has proven mental health benefits for depression and borderline personality disorder.

Isn’t this the truth?

I recently stopped by H&M to do a return, and left with this dress. It’s comfortable and a little sexy — perfect for summer!

If we had a finished basement, this would be my ideal cozy rec room situation.

Loving this geometric fruit bowl from the Molly Baz x Crate & Barrel collab.

Everything you need to clean your jewelry is right in your kitchen.

Speaking of kitchens, this renovation is seriously beautiful!

Enjoy your week!

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. 😂
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.
