There’s nothing effortless about being a woman.

Freshen up your bed linens with a set of striped sheets.

I wanted to make this no-knead focaccia bread at the beginning of the pandemic, but yeast was scarce and the recipe fell off my radar. I’m finally going to try it next week!

Target has such a great collection of faux plants right now! I picked up this little fern over the weekend. It’s perfect for a low-light spot in our entry and I don’t have to worry about the cat eating it.

November 29, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season! Things are starting to get festive around here. We hung the garland on the banister, put Christmas lights on the outside of the house, and broke out our collection of holiday music on vinyl. We’ll get our tree on Friday, which is when we’ll decorate the rest of the house. I can’t wait!

There are so many great sales today! I haven’t narrowed down my shopping list yet, but here are the sales I’m eyeing up: ThirdLove’s Cyber Monday deals, Tory Burch (30% most items and an extra 50% off sale), an extra 15% off the Black Friday sale at Julie Vos, 50% off at Banana Republic (this dress!), and up to 50% off everything at Kate Spade (I ordered a pair of fancy flats that’ll look cute with jeans or a little black dress).

Create a scent memory the next time you travel.

Modern heirlooms to get and give this holiday season.

Thinking about buying any of the Instagram-famous cookware brands? Read this post first.

Consumers can’t resist the lure of well-designed packaging.

I love the unexpected pops of color in this charming home tour.

One look at this breezy dress has me ready for summertime again.

LED Christmas lights with the warmth of vintage incandescent lights! (If we didn’t just buy new strands of lights last year, I’d be all about these.)

Enjoy the week!

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

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.
