The Weekend Guide

November 6, 2015 by jessica 5 Comments

DEFEND
There’s a bit of sass over at The Guardian about black tights. The author muses that black tights immediately betray the wearer, signaling old age and low social status. This author vehemently disagrees.

LEARN
We’re all familiar with buffering when it comes to online videos (…so we can joyfully watch cat videos uninterrupted). Your home goes through a similar phase and here’s why it’s okay not to rush things.

MAKE
You can make 30 marble (actual real marble!) place cards for under $8. Bookmark this link for upcoming dinner parties and nuptials.

BUY
Between Twitter and the blog, this is the fourth time I’ve mentioned this side table. It’s because it’s awesome. The top is solid marble and it comes in at $90. It’s not available for shipping (lame), but order it online anyway for in-store pickup. Target has been running discounts for 10-15% off online. I picked one up for myself a few days ago. It’s on the low side, but I think it will be fabulous next to an armchair. (There’s no room for it in our apartment, but it was too good to pass up.)

DREAM
I’ve already been to Amsterdam twice, but Jamie’s photos are making me yearn to go back.

LEARN
We’re going to Chicago in a couple of weeks for the opening of the Christkindlmarket. I’ve been putting together an itinerary for the long weekend, but I’m most excited about Three Dots and a Dash, where I fully intend to escape the Chicago cold with too many umbrella drinks. Before we go, I’m brushing up on my cocktail umbrella history.

FIVE UNDER $55

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

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!
