May was a dream, but June is gonna be the dreamiest. I am beyond thrilled to be able to see family +friends again, dine alfresco, visit local farmers’ markets, and venture back to my favorite spots for shopping + thrifting. Man, I needed it.
May was also full of fun projects. I was on the make space podcast, The backyard got both new garden lights, and a new fire bowl. More to come in the backyard very soon. We also kicked off our garage storage project and scored some amazing thrifts in So cal.
Tomorrow, I am heading to see a dear friend for a long hike. Will you join me? Sunday, come on back for some wood glue on my float shelf and an IKEA coatrack level up. I am so excited. I hope you all are able to do the same soon.
Around here, my favorite moment of the week was being reminded how much y’all love gallery walls -especially this one. If you missed that moment you can check it out here. It has all the supplies and sources you need to make one of your very own. Along with tips on frames and proper placement to make your wall sing.
- Let’s Eat – Strawberry Salad
- Summer to me means long sunny evening flowers, dinner on the patio with a cocktail of choice, and a crisp delicious salad. Here’s my favorite quick + easy salad that is not only sweet but refreshing. It’s also super easy to make. I promise.
- DIY – Table Books
- There are musts for me when it comes to styling. Having a carefully curated table of stylish books is one of these things. Head here, to check out my favorite amazon choices for gorgeous coffee table books that make any table sing. Go go go!
- Hanging Lights are Best
- So here is the thing. I insist on having space-saving solutions in every nook and cranny of my home. Why? My home small by most people’s standards. ICYMI here are a few great reasons why installing a ceiling-mounted glob light might be the perfect solution for you too.
- Direct Message – Sidetable
- I still can’t get over how amazing this side table is. It’s gorgeous, has an amazing silhouette, and it’s matte black to boot. It was my most requested link this week. So here ya go, guys. My nightstand (and side table.) I love it so much I have two. Did I mention that they come in brass also!
- Design Inspo Winner
- Sean Anderson is my new interior design crush – like big time. This room is both moody and collected – while being inviting and calming all at once. It also has carefully placed nightstand curiosities for added visual interest that I am obsessed witht. That corduroy blanket, olive pillows, and leather headboard sing together in perfect harmony. Who wants to take a nap with me here?
- Selecting and Hanging Art
- Selecting and placing a statement piece of wall art, in my opinion, can make or break a space. I will spend hours in thrift stores for the perfect piece and then hanging it. Check out my pro-tips on selecting and hanging art – just right.
- Let’s Make Magic
- Guys, I legit chipped the leg of my harmony sofa real bad over the weekend. I used this magic pen in Walnut to repair the chip and it literally looks good as new. I am so impressed. I can’t stop checking daily. Grab a set and keep em’ on hand. They come with tons of common wood types. I just feel better having these pens around
