Happy Friday 12/16/22

Happy Friday! How are you? I say this lightly and with compassion, but have you put holiday cards together yet? Are you going to? I had a little bitty freak out and decided I wasn’t doing them. But then there was all this pretty snow and it felt like a shame not to take at least one quick family photo in it. And despite wiggly legs and mismatched outfits, we got a couple descent shots (and when it comes to family photos, descent is where I aim ;). So holiday cards are back on. And here’s one for you…

A very happy Holidays from our family to yours!

We’ll be back in the coming weeks with one or two more posts, but for the most part we’ll be spending time with family at home, baking, puzzling, and watching movies :) You can find us more over on Instagram - we’ll be sharing this year’s cookie box and a few other things in the lead up to Christmas. But if we miss you, thanks for being here with us this year. Thanks for lending us your ear and your opinion and for cheering us on. We are thankful for you and hope your holidays are healthy and bright!

A few fun links from the week…

Holiday magic is made by women. And it’s killing us.

Old meets new, Southern meets European works beautifully in Carley’s latest kitchen remodel. I’m such a fan of her work!

A beautiful portrait of saying goodbye to the perfect apartment that brought a tear to my eye. “Meeting your place is like meeting your person; you know it right away.”

Houseguests, how long is too long before you wear out your welcome?

Fell head over heals for this beautiful victorian terrace in London. It feels calm, homey, and rich with history.

Oh the housing market. Here are Redfin’s predictions for 2023.

Speaking of predictions, here are 1stdibs design predictions for 2023. Love the emphasis on handmade and craft I’m seeing all over these prediction lists!

How pretty is this 1809 remodel?! Love the nursery built-ins (and obviously the wallpaper ;).

I’m planning to snuggle up in bed and read over holiday break. Any book recommendations? Here are my 22 favorite books of 2022 in case you missed them.

Have a lovely weekend!
