Weekly Roundup

I love when a kitchen doesn’t immediately look like a kitchen. I shared more deconstructed kitchen inspiration here. Also, does that wallpaper not look familiar?

Did you know I list all of my favorite shops here? I list every inspiring online retailer from wallpaper to candles. I’ll admit, I keep the list organized for my own selfish needs - I always refer to it when shopping.

Margot has been growing out of her clothes before I can even try them on her! At the suggestion of my dear friend, Natasha, I’m buying these in all the sizes. I’ll also get her this sweater jumpsuit and this knit set.

As I continue brainstorming our backyard, I’m revisiting rainwater capturing. Deanna has a blog post all about optimizing this precious resource. If you thought I was a big researcher with meaty blog posts, just wait until you dive into Deanna’s gardening content!

If I hang this in the kitchen, am I going to constantly crave chocolate cake?

I’m adjusting to my postpartum body (no, the pounds aren’t just melting away when breastfeeding!) and while my maternity leggings are the ultimate in comfy, I’m trying to wear normal clothes. I’m still a ways away from my old skinny jeans, but these are the closest I’m getting to “hard pants.”

Also, a tea towel for a shirt? Yes, please.

I’ve been hunting for a side table for the nursery and simply cannot find a vintage bobbin-style round table for the life of me. Am I going to have to buy one new?

Molly has a really cute mood board for her One Room Challenge nursery makeover, I look forward to seeing it come together!

We got our annual property tax bill which is significantly discounted due to our historic home. I talk about how and why we save $5k/yr here.

In my hunt for curtains in the nursery, I found very reasonably priced linen-look pinch pleat curtains in a variety of colors and in customizable sizes here and here.

I’m off to craft our family Halloween costume!
