Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

It’s Dave’s birthday today and we’re off to Chicago to celebrate for the weekend! Not only do I get to shower my favorite guy with attention — which includes dinner at Publican  — a weekend in the Windy City means our annual tradition of heading to the Christkindlmarket. New York was obviously full of magical Christmas spirit, but I think I would have been disappointed if we broke our four-year streak of celebrating the season in Chicago. Enjoy your weekend!

Weekend Links:

  • It’s time to create your Instagram Top Nine!
  • Mid-range furniture brands that aren’t IKEA.
  • What’s the optimal amount of lights you should put on your Christmas tree? There’s a calculator for that. (And, uh, you might be overthinking things.)
  • Common mistakes when negotiating a house price.
  • The founders of Casper mattresses are now embarking on a home renovation company.
  • Benefits of wasting time.
  • I bought these winter ankle boots last month and finally had a chance to wear them. I’m in love. They’re comfy and warm.
  • What’s behind the lip gloss boom?
  • You is coming to Netflix and I can’t wait. It looks so good!
  • This emerald beaded clutch is gorgeous. (Does anyone else have the hardest time finding a clutch when there’s a special occasion coming up? I might buy this to have on hand in the future.)

Finds Under $50:

  • A faux fur coat at an amazing price point.
  • A classic turtleneck that comes in six varieties.
  • I’m intrigued by this beverage chiller that promises to cool drinks in a flash.
  • Flattering oversize sunglasses.
  • Get a smart plug for your Christmas tree so you can automate when it turns on and off.

Earlier This Week:

  • I’m smitten with the purse in this week’s “The Coveted.”
  • Gifts for cats and dogs.
  • Nine of the best gifts for guys.

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!
