On the Right Foot: Mail Yourself a Postcard, Ceramic Mug Hype, “Familects,”& More!

May 18, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

A snapshot from our April trip to Charleston.

I didn’t expect to ghost the blog for a week, but it’s been busy around here! I’ve been knee-deep in researching contractors for our upcoming bathroom remodel and scheduling appointments for quotes. It’s exciting, but it’s going to be an expensive endeavor! Ashley’s bathroom is serving as my main inspiration at the moment. It’s classic and traditional, and perfect for an old home.

A reminder to stop “wish-cycling.”

Two dresses caught my eye recently: an emerald lace number and a cute gingham one.

The hype surrounding limited-release drops is now hitting ceramic mugs.

Your household probably has a “familect.”

These are the prettiest acrylic glasses. I bought a set (three each of the double old-fashioned size in clear, pink, and blue) a few years ago and they’re still going strong!

Love delicate seed bead work? Give this artist a follow.

I love the idea of mailing yourself a postcard each time you travel!

I love linen sweaters for cool summer nights.

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.

• 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.

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.
