Hello! I missed doing Friday Favorites the last two weeks because we were on vacation in Utah then in California for the last week. I actually get the most feedback that you all like these posts…so I want to keep them going! I did have some ideas scheduled but the wi-fi was touch and go where we were staying so I just had to learn to let-it-go. Believe me it was frustrating at first to not check Instagram for a week, but it was actually really nice to be forced to not work and not be on my cell phone. We swam a lot, played hard and had just the best time. I know that I won’t regret that time away from my computer one minute. So I have some good Friday Favorites I saved for you!
- I made the rounds while I was in Utah. I didn’t get to see everyone I wanted to or help all the design clients I wanted to either. But I did do a lot! I did get a picture of one of my clients entry, that is also a good friend. I was actually there doing something else for her, she had to leave so I stayed and moved some accessories around (she is used to me, so it isn’t too pushy). I refreshed her entry console table just by moving things around that she had already.

- You know from THIS post that I love Crio Bru. I was so excited to come across THIS blog post about a frozen Crio Bru! I haven’t tried it yet, I will report back when I do!
- I found THIS to keep kids safe in the kitchen and that allows them to use knives!
- I feel kind of in a slump and need to set some goals. I was killing time at Target while my girls were at a class. I came across THIS book (way cheaper on Amazon) and it got me really excited to work on it!
- I don’t think I have ever gotten more compliments on any pair of shoes before I got THESE. They just look great with everything, dress up or down. I would rather own one really nice pair of shoes then 5 that are just ok (and don’t get compliments on) they are really comfortable too.
- I decided to update my social profile pics and my blog post pic too. I think the one I had up was over 3 years old. I kept putting it off because that would mean I would have to do my hair and makeup BOTH on the same day. So the other morning I had time to get ready and realized I had a self timer on my Nikon Camera…duh! I have had it for close to three years and I never noticed that setting. It was pretty hilarious taking a picture of yourself while your kids watch from the sofa laughing. I am wearing THIS gray ruffle shirt, love, love, love it!
- My friend started a clothing company and gave me a few pieces to try! I was so happy because I REALLY wanted THESE overalls I have on. I have worn them several days in a row…maybe I shouldn’t share this but I consider it a #win! I also have THIS skirt and love it.
- I shared that I got a new floor mirror for our master bedroom, I love it for only $70. But I came across THIS floor mirror for a client now I want it instead. Seriously I don’t think that cycle will ever end? I don’t think I would buy the second mirror, but I might search for a knock-off!
- THIS fireplace stopped me in my tracks! Black and white is timeless even though the pattern might seem busy, it is a pretty classic style. I love the gold scones on either side of the mirror, I found similar HERE.
- I read that if you aren’t happy with something or want a different result then you need to change something. I find that if I move accessories around in my home or take something out it gives me a mood boost! I challenge you to move things around, you don’t need to go out shopping, just shop your home. Or clip some flowers from your yard (like I can’t seem to stop clipping) and put the, in a basket (like I did on my front door) or I’m a jar!
Have a wonderful weekend friends!
I looove Friday Favorites! Thank you for the time you spend putting them together 🙂 Could I ask where you found the cute gingham napkins in the last photo? Happy Friday!
You made my morning and it worth it!! thank you for your comment! Those gingham napkins are a fav you can find them here- http://rstyle.me/n/cn5ex6b5qwf I think they are like $13 for 12! Have a good day!
Love ANY post you publish! But this is a good one. I also love your hair, so cute! Your house and values, and style are the closet fit to my home, life, and values…so glad you are here!! Keep the good stuff coming
Oh you are so kind! You are my favorite! So nice to have such support xxxx
I’m one of those readers that rarely comments, but I’ve been meaning to say I LOVE your Friday Favorites! Whenever I see a “Friday Favorites starts with…” in my Feedly list, I get so excited. 🙂
I love your taste and your style and your approachable writing. I loved following your Utah trip too, but I’m glad your back to Friday Favorites. Thanks for inspiring me!
Thank you so much!!! I so appreciate your comment and feedback, it really gives me such a boost! thank you!
hey girl- great list! so cool! Y’all have a great weekend!
Friday favorites are my favorite as well! So much inspiration in one post! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, I live in a small house as well and am constantly turning to your blog for design guidance. It’s such a treasure trove of beautiful spaces! I am currently in the process of picking out new fixtures and elements for a bathroom remodel we will be undergoing in late August and I have a few questions about your beautiful bath.
– Where did you find your sink and light fixture?
-What is the finish on your floors? I love the sparkle.:)
– My contractor advised me against choosing subway tiles in the shower or small hexagon tiles on the floor as it would mean a ton of grout to clean, do you find this to be an issue?
Thank you so much for inspiring me and taking the time out to answer my questions! 🙂
I found the sink on amazon or overstock…it has been awhile. The floors are hexagon marble tile. I haven’t had issues with the grout- it cleans up really easy and really doesnt get too dirty, not a high traffic area and most of the time shoes are off in there. Hope that helps!!
Are you kidding?!? Pushy?! Everyone is so jealous you refresh my accessories when you are in town!!! I love the changes and those overalls are so darling on you!!! Xoxo
PS no plant casualties yet.. still going strong ?
haha! I kept meaning to text you to see if your plants are dead yet?! I would be so sad!! And love that you read my blog friend. love you xoxo
Love when you post Friday favorites too! I was wondering g if you ever posted where the hanging planter is from in your porch? Is it metal?
Do you remember if your stools were the taupe or beige?
Thanks!
Rachel
Those were not the exact ones after looking at it again- BUT I would say beige 100% is a better match and look almost identical.
