Happy Friday 5/3/24
Happy Friday! We made it to May and goodness the Spring flowers do not disappoint. The woman who owned our house last planted lilacs (my favorite!), crab apples, plums, and an apple tree in her 50 years here. It’s all blooming right now and makes me smile every time I come home. Wishing you a beautiful weekend.
Lilacs from our Farmhouse (psst: how to keep the from wilting)
Some fun links from the week…
A thoughtful refresh of a traditional cabin in the woods of Lake Tahoe.
A new study shows what can better mental health in young people. Makes me feel better about all the after-school chauffeuring we do.
This week we shared a big progress update on the Poplar Cottage. Should we paint the bathroom trim?
I’ve been seeing footed rattan scalloped bowls everywhere lately and they’re adorable. This would make a great Mother’s Day gift!
“I finally tried the Scandinavian sleep method and I’ve never been more rested.” Sounds like a great idea!
Alice Palmer’s dos and don’ts of decorating. Love the tip about adding a hot tap water tap outside.
How about THIS for a Guinness World record!
The internet is talking about ‘The Idea of You’ (here’s the trailer). I’m always down for a good rom com!
I’ve been binging audio books while we work on the siding at the Poplar Cottage and went back through some of my favorites from Emily Henry. Her new one is a fun romance, perfect for vacation (or house projects)!
Have a good one!
