J.Crew Swingy coat in Italian wool melton :: Bedknobs & Baubles

Hi, friends! I’m finally back in the swing of things after a work-induced break from the blog and from much of social media! I always realize how much I appreciate this space after I’ve been away for a bit. We’re expecting a dreary weekend here, which is the perfect excuse to tackle a few house projects. As you know, I’ve been slowly working on repairing and painting the doors in our house, and removing the paint from the original hardware before polishing the brass back to its original sheen (without ruining the perfect patina you can only get with age). I’ll be wrapping up our bedroom door today, leaving me with three more I’d like to finish before the end of November. There are few things I find as satisfying as finishing up household projects, but we’re nearing the end of the things we can do on our own and will need to find a contractor to embark on our more ambitious — and more expensive — improvements.

Weekend Links:

  • I just love Meg’s makeup art column.
  • DIY macrame feathers for budget-friendly wall decor.
  • We finally picked out a dining room light fixture!
  • dELiA*s is back with a limited-time capsule collection. (So many late ’90s and early ’00s flashbacks.)
  • Taking candy tasting as seriously as wine tasting.
  • An Instagrammer is being sued for a failure to influence.
  • I never thought I’d want green kitchen cabinets until now.
  • This scarf is a must-have for the holiday season.
  • Make sure you know what’s on your ballot before going to the polls on Tuesday.
  • Pumpkin bread with salted maple butter looks like the perfect thing for cool fall mornings.
  • The stories behind legendary hip-hop photos.
  • In search of a sexy cocktail glass? Look no further than this one.

Finds Under $50:

  • This glass decanter is really pretty and comes in at just $15. I added it to our bar cabinet already!
  • An evergreen lace dress is perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
  • A metal handle makes this affordable bag look chic.
  • A cozy, wear-it-every-weekend sweater.
  • A pastel scarf is unexpected for winter, yet it’s perfect for the holiday season and would look great with a camel-colored coat.

Earlier This Week:

  • What I bought last month.
  • A selection of silver and grey favorites.

This renovation sure had its moments of frustratio This renovation sure had its moments of frustration, but I’m blissfully heading toward “renovation amnesia” as @em_henderson calls it in her new book. 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!

My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few ho My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few hours of the tournament, but there's a much more fun one to take part in: a bagel bracket with @bantambagels -- and you can win a month's supply of the winning flavor! There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.
