Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

It’s the last weekend of 2018, which means it’s time to break out the champagne coupes and bubbly! We have a low key weekend in store, allowing us time to recoup (and clean up) after the holidays, which is exactly what I need after being on the go for weeks now. I’m also planning to find a couple of appetizer recipes to make on New Year’s Eve and I’m open to any suggestions you have! (We have plans with our neighborhood friends for a festive house crawl with snacks and cocktails at each stop.) I hope you have a relaxing final weekend of 2018!

Weekend Links:

  • Did you get Instagram’s brief update on Thursday? It showed up for me and it was awful.
  • Health tips for the new year.
  • Even if there’s not enough time to snag this evening bag for New Year’s Eve, it’s still a fun option to have in your closet for upcoming cocktail hours in 2019!
  • I made this bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin for my parents for our Christmas celebration and it was delicious. You could easily substitute pancetta for the bacon.
  • This DIY tufted headboard is easier than it looks.
  • I loved this interview with Karl Lagerfeld.
  • Save an extra 25% on sale items at Tory Burch!
  • How the Great Recession influenced a decade of design.
  • Tips on getting your budget back in order after the holidays.
  • Has anyone tried this setting spray with SPF? I’m going to buy a bottle before our Florida trip because sunscreen lotion always feels too heavy on my face.

Finds Under $50:

  • Lele Sadoughi transformed her signature flower earrings into petite studs.
  • A fun basket bag for any upcoming tropical trips.
  • I love the texture of this sweater.
  • A fit-and-flare dress with a geometric print.
  • I bet these reflect the light in the prettiest way.
  • Freshen up your couch or bed with this striped throw pillow.

Earlier This Week:

  • What I bought in December.
  • I can’t get enough of the vintage earrings I snagged from my grandma.

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.

• 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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
