Seattle Bound + Early Weekend Links

September 20, 2018 by jessica Leave a Comment

Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

We’re off to Washington today for my brother’s wedding on Saturday. I’ve never been to the state before so when news of my brother’s upcoming nuptials came, we jumped at the chance to extend the trip by a few days on either side of the “I dos” to explore Seattle. As always, if you have any travel recommendations, I’d love to hear ’em! I’ll be sharing snapshots from our adventure on Instagram and will be back here on the blog on Wednesday.

Weekend Links:

  • Things to keep in mind when renovating a historic house.
  • Don’t flush your contact lenses.
  • These farro bowls with lamb meatballs sound amazing.
  • Can we take a moment to admire the amazing heels on these shoes?
  • Join Apartment Therapy’s “September Sweep” to banish clutter in your home.
  • Saying goodbye to Racked with a roundup of their best stories and essays.
  • An interview with Stan Smith himself.
  • I’m naturally a morning person, and I know plenty of night owls who aren’t appreciative of my exuberance in the a.m. If you’d like to become more of an early bird, here are some tips.
  • Seven trends for fall.
  • I’m awfully familiar with the stress-induced cry. Here are tips on how to cope with that teary onslaught and — hopefully — keep the tears at bay.

Finds Under $50:

  • This stoneware vase is such a beautiful shape. (I’m sure I’ll be adding it to my next Target order.)
  • A pretty sleeveless top that you could definitely wear to work.
  • Pair cheeky gingham socks with loafers and cuffed jeans this fall.
  • A knit sweater to spend all weekend in.
  • A long, cozy cardigan is a must to transition some of your favorite summer dresses to fall weather.
  • These resin earrings are stunning, especially in green.

Earlier This Week:

  • I’m crazy about the pink and burgundy color combination in this week’s roundup.
  • Heading to Portland? I finally shared snapshots and travel recommendations from our trip.

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.
