On the Right Foot: Embracing Vintage Tile, Studying History with Fashion, Spring Garden Ideas & More!

March 21, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

Happy first Monday of spring! To celebrate the return of warmer weather, I treated myself to this beauty of a bag. It’s so pretty and eye-catching, and I am just head-over-heels with it! (It’s also available here for 30% off.) It’s refreshing to add a seasonal statement-maker to my closet after two years of schlepping it in yoga pants and sweaters.

On the topic of refreshes, our tile is installed in the powder room and it’s gorgeous! The sink was installed on Friday and we’re hanging the mirror today. The team had used a plumb bob to center the sconce over the sink, however our room isn’t level (#OldHouseProblems) and the sconce is about a half inch too far to the right. So, the team will be scooting that over today so it’s all lined up correctly. They’ve also made a lot of progress on the main bathroom upstairs. It’s all of the behind-the-wall stuff right now, but I’ll share an update later this week. While I love those surprising before-and-after reveal posts as much as the next person, I think it’s important to share snippets of the process for a “real” person with a budget so you know what to expect.

I didn’t realize that some of the characters in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were based on real people. (Spoiler warning for those who haven’t watched the season four finale.)

Love unique drinkware? Check out these beauties on Etsy. I also like the maker’s heat-resistant glass mugs.

Going monochrome in this bathroom makes the vintage tile feel intentional.

How sweet is this swimsuit?!

I’m determined to practice my gardening skills even more this year and enjoyed scrolling through these ideas.

This made me laugh. We all have that coat that can be worn for just one a day a year!

Have a wonderful week!

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.

While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
