On the Right Foot: Pumpkin Bread, Underrated Thrillers, Charming Dishtowels, & More!

October 5, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

Calling this “bread” is a bit generous with the amount of sugar in the recipe, but it’s a delightful pumpkin bread that’s easy to make! I whipped it up on Sunday morning and it tastes like what you’d get if you put pumpkin pie in bread form.

These dishtowels are charming and a great price at $8 for a set of three. I love the kelly green striped set the most.

I realize it’s a bit early to talk about Christmas, but seeing this set of ornaments sent me off to Etsy to find similar ones for less. This artist has a few different kinds of wooden tree ornaments for $15 each. (While not similar to those, I also came across this darling little ornament.)

A roundup of underrated thrillers to add to your reading list.

I’ve been cracking up over Kate’s reviews of the 1990s’ American Girl catalogues. There’s an Instagram highlight labeled AG for your viewing pleasure.

I recently gave our bathroom a mini update with a coat of paint in a deep blue-green hue (“Riverway” by Sherwin-Williams). I probably should have done it a couple of years ago instead of holding off for an eventual remodel because I like the space so much more now! Over the weekend, I put a fresh coat of white paint on the linen closet, replaced the knobs with these in black, and ordered this light fixture to replace the fluorescent ceiling light.

I love this oversize scarf in the black check design. We’re all going to need more cold-weather garb if we’re going to have social-distanced get togethers outdoors this fall and winter.

How Black-led fashion organizations are holding the industry accountable.

I enjoyed this interview with Domino’s style director. In it, he shares the story of his most treasured possession. It’s a poignant reminder that the most cherished possessions aren’t just things; they have stories and memories associated with them that gives them life.

This $60 blouse is an elegant piece that would look just as beautiful dressed up with black pants as it would with a pair of jeans.

In case you missed it:

  • A roundup of everything I bought in September.
  • We’re trying to enjoy as many days outdoors as possible before it gets too cold.
  • The best $0.79 to spend on your home.
  • I’m glad my new bedding is enjoyed by all members of the family.
  • A real remodel is a long way off, so I gave the bathroom a mini update. (Swipe to see the shower curtain the previous owner had!)

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.
