Happy Friday 1/10/2

Happy Friday! Any exciting weekend plans? We’re deep in winter around here, meaning tons of basketball, snow gear littering the radiators, and tea, tea, tea! Not my favorite season, but one worth enjoying anyway :) Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Here are some links from the week…

This Edwardian home tour stopped me in my tracks this week (shown above)! The blue cabinets! Those built-in benches! All that color!

How to help victims of the L.A. Wildfires. Our hearts are with all of those affected!

This feels like an important read: Why a ‘Third Life’ is the answer to America’s loneliness epidemic. “If third places once represented readymade outlets for community, then in their growing absence, we should look to create what I’d call “third lives.”

Kitchen trends for 2025. Gotta say I love the stained wood, all the personality, and that dark beige color (eyeing it for the Hill House!).

Emma Thompson on worrying about your body 'imperfections'.

I got the Pottery Barn catalog in the mail this week and I can’t stop thinking about this amazing outdoor space (forth image down). Isn’t it just the loveliest, Nancy-Meyer-esque backyard? Storing it away as inspiration for the Hill House!

Speaking of the Hill House…we shared our (final?!) house floor plans this week. I can’t wait!!!!

Eight ways to stay happier this year, according to science.

Need a reading rec? I just listened to this thriller and it was twisty and engaging and totally took my mind off of the winter and the news. A fun listen!

Have a good one!
