Happy Friday 12/5/25
Happy Friday! We’re fully in the December rhythm around here, where half my brain is thinking about gifts and Christmas cards and the other half is thinking about home projects like hardwood floors. It’s a funny balance, wrapping presents one minute and debating poly floor finishes the next, but that’s the season, isn’t it? A little sparkle, a little sawdust :) Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead.

Some links from the week…
Mimi Thor’s Italian home decorated for Christmas is so lovely (shown above). “I do believe that you don’t find the right home – it’s the home that finds you.” I just can’t stop wondering how they fit all 8 kids and 2 dogs in an apartment!
I’ve been using vitamin c on my skin every morning and it definitely lives up to the hype!
The rise of the ‘soft kitchen’. Now this is a trend I can get behind :)
This week’s gift guide is for DIYers and Old Home Lovers and it’s filled with Garrett’s tool recs and beautiful, thoughtful home gifts.
Love the idea of hanging up holiday art!
Christmas movies to stream at home. Oh. What. Fun. is on my weekend list :)
Can’t get enough of this mother-daughter duo’s dinner parties.
Are your old hardwood floors worth saving? Here’s how to tell…
These STEM-based build crates have been a big hit with our kids. Can’t recommend them enough!
Listened to this book this week after seeing it listed on a top 100 list for 2025. It’s a romance and a bit spicy but has the loveliest writing and thoughtful characters.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
