Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon

Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon

If you saw my Instagram story the other day, you know that we got home much later than anticipated from our trip to Portland. Twenty-two hours late to be exact. Our flight out of Portland was delayed on July 3 and we would have missed our connection in Denver. When given the option between paying for a hotel (out of our pocket) in Denver or Portland, we chose the latter because a hotel near the airport is only a 15-minute Uber ride from worthwhile things to do in the city so we could make the best of an annoying situation. Travel hassles aside, Portland was so much fun and Oregon was one of the prettiest states I’ve visited!

Weekend Links:

  • Exploring why Americans are having fewer babies.
  • Packing advice for your summer vacation.
  • While I hate licorice of the Twizzlers variety, I fell in love with salty black licorice during our trip to Copenhagen. Portland-based Jacobsen Salt Co. makes an incredible version of the candy.
  • The secret note discovered during a bathroom remodel is adorable!
  • Seven sources for royalty-free images to use as artwork in your home.
  • Tips for making new friends as an introvert.
  • How Anna Delvey conned New York’s elite.
  • Beachside book suggestions that aren’t romance novels.
  • While I haven’t been the biggest fan of West Elm recently, I ordered this mini console table for our entryway with the current 25% off promotion. The size is perfect for what we need, and the drawers will be nice for keeping things organized. (Right now, we put our keys and sunglasses on top of the bar and it drives me crazy!)
  • Thirteen drugstore beauty buys to try.

Finds Under $50:

  • Acrylic earrings in a pretty emerald hue.
  • Tigers are a whimsical — and surprisingly subtle — addition to this dress.
  • I love everything about this tank, especially the pretty back detail.
  • My favorite dress for air travel is only $15 right now.
  • The perfect dress for when it’s too hot to let fabric to touch your skin.
  • Such a pretty throw pillow.

Earlier This Week:

  • Scenes from our trip to Oregon are right this way.

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.

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.
