On the Right Foot: Terrazzo Made of Eggshells, Stir Fry to Make This Week, a Silky Slip Skirt & More!

Happy Monday! I didn’t expect to take a weeklong hiatus from the blog, but my time was otherwise occupied between work and a couple of days at Summerfest in Milwaukee where we saw Ludacris and Run the Jewels. And let me just tell you that staying up till midnight two nights in a row is entirely too much for someone in her late-30s! I’m still exhausted and am looking forward to a quieter week.

Making terrazzo tiles out of eggshells!

I adore the understated fall vibes of this collection of taper candles in vintage holders.

We all instinctively know that fast fashion is bad for the environment, but how it’s wrecking havoc in Ghana is a somber reminder to buy what you really love and plan to hold on to.

I saw these rustic pasta bowls over the weekend and they’re absolutely gorgeous in green.

For just $60, this DIYer reupholstered his headboard.

I made this pork and cucumber stir fry last week and it was delish! I used hot ground pork, substituted a jalapeno for the fresno chile, and used mirin instead of Shaoxing wine since that’s what I had on hand. It lends itself well to leftovers.

Speaking of new recipes, the beginning of autumn always makes me excited to get back in the kitchen. Here are the newest cookbooks to get inspiration from.

You is coming back for a third season and I can’t wait!

How good is this slinky slip skirt?!

Have a wonderful week!

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• 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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
