Instant Replay: April 2013

May 1, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Went mod. Admired the first signs of spring. Enjoyed a clear day after weeks of rain. Spent an afternoon at local watering holes. Finally found the perfect pair of pointy black flats. Scooped up a pair of floral shorts. Went to Milwaukee for an overnight getaway. Visited the Milwaukee Brewing Company. Giggled my way through Mindy Kaling’s book. Adored a surprise bouquet of daisies from Dave. Wore this necklace a lot. Pulled out a few springtime accessories. 

I’d love to keep in touch with you on Instagram! You can find me at @bedknobsandbaubles.

Reminder! Win a pair of bangle bracelets from Sequin!

Day Trip: Milwaukee

August 4, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

We’re headed to Central Wisconsin today for a wedding, but I’ll leave you with snapshots from last weekend’s day trip to Milwaukee. After purchasing this dress and this painting, we enjoyed Milwaukee’s brewing history. We toured the Milwaukee Brewing Co. (the best $7 I ever spent and a Grover sighting) and celebrated our heritage at the German Fest. Prost!

Most of the time I leave a consignment store with dirty hands and dust-covered trinkets that weren’t worth the trouble, but every now and then there’s a hidden gem.

On Saturday, a friend recommended that we stop at Legacies in Milwaukee. The store looks small from the outside, but it manages to pack items in every nook of the building – and 70% of it is beautiful. I moved aside a cherub-adorned print (part of the questionable 30%) and discovered this beauty behind it. It’s four feet of nautical perfection. It’s the piece. I wasn’t exactly sure where it’d be displayed (and I still don’t), but it wasn’t staying at Legacies.

And that’s when I realized just how small my car really is. We tried to slide the painting through the trunk, tried to angle it, even considered tying it to the roof, but there was no way the painting was going to fit in my Honda Civic … not with the large, gaudy frame anyway. I freed the canvas and tossed the frame in a dumpster. Classy.

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.

(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.
