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!

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!
