The Coveted

If there was ever a post that illustrated my end-of-summer aesthetic, this is it. I’m all about the relaxed bohemian vibe with these finds:

  • A loose gauze dress from BB Dakota. If you saw my Instagram yesterday, you know I already added it to my wardrobe. It’s on sale for just $50 and fits true-to-size. (I went with a medium.) Find this “Bronwen” style and other BB Dakota sale dresses here. I’m also loving the brand d.Ra for other affordable frocks. There’s a yellow one I’m smitten with.
  • A printed haircalf clutch by Clare V. Thus far, I’ve resisted adding the brand’s signature pouch to my collection. I’m just not sure how much I’d actually use it. This is the first design that makes me willing to risk it.
  • These fantastic fringe earrings. There’s also a matching necklace that I’m equally obsessed with.
  • The perfect nude polish that has just the right amount of pink.
  • A Moroccan pouf. You have no idea how much I want one of these. I’ve been on a huge decorating kick lately. In fact, housewares are pretty much all I look at after work now. Replacing the couches that our cat christened as his scratching post is our next priority, but I’ve been dying to add a pouf to our apartment for the longest time. I originally found this one in faux leather on Lulu & Georgia for $330. However, it looks like you can get the same one here (in leather!) for $200. There’s also a simpler design on sale for $150. There are tons of colors to choose from, but I prefer tan. I think it will age beautifully.
  • Barely there sandals. I’ve never tried Ancient Greek Sandals (Megan loves them!), but these look like the perfect pair for the last few weeks of summer.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!

My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few ho My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few hours of the tournament, but there's a much more fun one to take part in: a bagel bracket with @bantambagels -- and you can win a month's supply of the winning flavor! There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to this bathroom. Demolition on our upstairs main bathroom starts today! I love old houses and #OldHouseThings, but this bathroom's prior renovation clearly isn't part of the original home -- nor was it done well. A leak from the bathtub into our kitchen on Easter 2020 kicked off our plans for the renovation and it's finally coming to fruition two years later. The prior damage wasn't caused by leaking pipes (although we just replaced all of the old galvanized pipes with PVC plumbing to futureproof the house); it was from water pooling on the edge of the tub after a shower and then spilling over the side onto the floor. As we discovered, the tub isn't level (nor is the toilet) which caused water to flow over. I'm sure we'll discover plenty of other water damage as our contractor's team starts pulling everything out and I'm so excited for the peace of mind that will come from getting everything in tip top shape. 

Today is also the day that fixtures will be installed in the half bath! There's a short punch list of small things yet to do in that space, but the finished product is right around the corner!
