SPOT
Did Vincent Van Gogh hide a rendition of “The Last Supper” in one of his most famous paintings?

READ
I love reading advice columns and old etiquette books. These snippets from the 1969 edition of Vogue’s Book of Etiquette and Good Manners don’t disappoint.

ASK
A handful of great questions to ask at your next job interview.

DECORATE
How great is this Etsy shop?! I adore the green chevron pillow covers.

EAT
Make sure you eat before online shopping. Hunger can lead to overspending on more than just groceries.

WEAR
It was in the upper ’60s yesterday, which has me yearning to revamp my summer wardrobe. A pair of statement sunglasses by Karen Walker is just the thing I’m itching for. Well, that and the dress that’s on its way to me.

FITNESS UPDATE
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I lost 70 pounds after college. It took two years, so I know the process takes time. Yet, I’ve still been discouraged lately. Given how much I’ve exercised (which, for the record, I hate), I hoped to see bigger changes on the scale over the last two months. I needed to step back this week and look at the bigger picture. Since Jan. 1, I have lost a total of 5.3 pounds, 1.5 inches from my thighs, 0 inches from my arms (but they are more toned), 2.5 inches from my bust, 1.75 inches from my waist, and 2.5 inches from my hips. (Even though I can only do push-ups on my knees, I’m also proud that I went from doing five in 30 seconds to doing 25 in the same amount of time. ::kisses biceps::)

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• 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.
