Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

Happy Friday, everyone! It’s going to be an absolute scorcher here in Madison, but I can’t bring myself to complain about the heat when we have such brutal winters! We don’t have a lot going on this weekend. If you saw my Instagram story last week, you may remember that I started painting the inside of our linen closet. I’d like to finish that up and put two more coats of paint on the office door and hang it up. (It’ll be the first room door we’ve had a year! We’ve been living with an “open concept” upstairs, with exception of the bathroom.) Other than that, there’s a neighborhood festival we’d like to go to and we have plans with friends on Sunday. Have a great weekend!

Weekend Links:

  • Milwaukee really is an underrated travel destination, especially for a weekend getaway.
  • A beginner’s guide to retinol.
  • Even though I’m lukewarm on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I did spend time looking through the selection to narrow down my favorites: a yellow coat, a tiered floral dress, a wrap blouse, earrings by one of my favorite designers, sophisticated sandals, and Chelsea-cut rain boots. I might actually order the rain boots to try. It’d be nice to have something other than tall wellies for wet days.
  • Yeah, this obligatory wedding dress shot is weird.
  • Wet plate photography of the past inspired a photojournalist to explore the Māori culture. (This was undoubtedly the most interesting thing I read this week.)
  • Weekday meal prep is so much easier when you can cook once and reuse the leftovers in creative ways.
  • Earrings that double as headphones.
  • Add this easy tiki drink to your summer cocktail repertoire.
  • The ways that Sex and the City nailed life in your 30s.
  • Painting over generic canvas art to make your own DIY piece on a budget is brilliant.

Finds Under $50:

  • A gorgeous maxi dress in the prettiest blue hue.
  • Woven leather slides. (Not all of the colors are under $50, but the cognac is most expense at just $54.)
  • In red, this ponte-knit sheath dress is a workday showstopper.
  • A pair of wrap sandals with fabric ties in a pretty Liberty print.
  • Hoop earrings with a unique front-facing shape.
  • Love the look of clear vinyl bags, but don’t want to spend a fortune? Try this one.

Earlier This Week:

  • How to gain early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale without a brand credit card.
  • When building a quality wardrobe, here are the categories you should splurge on and those you can skimp on.
  • I’m crushing hard on the pumps featured in this post.
  • I don’t wear these sandals often because they’re terribly uncomfortable, but they’re so pretty!

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.

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.
