Happy Friday 1/24/20

Happy Friday! We’re really digging into winter around here with soups and basketball practices and dreams of sunny beaches. You too? I’ve been on a bit of a health kick lately and I think it’s helping me get through this season. Winter has never been my favorite (okay, it’s always been my least favorite) but good food and time outside is making it pass more happily.

More from the week…

Before and after’s from an old Victorian. I’m crushing hard on that staircase! (apartment34)

Picked up this book at the library a couple days ago and I love it. Like had-to-have-a-third-cup-of-coffee-this-morning-because-I-stayed-up-way-too-late-reading-last-night kind of love. (amazon)

Did you catch this house tour of one of my favorite designers? I get asked a lot about how to add character to newer homes and this tour has allllll the answers!

We chatted with Stacy of Blake Hill House for her podcast, True Tales from Old Houses, and you can find the episode here. We shared why we suck at flipping houses, our experience filming an HGTV pilot (and why we dodged a bullet with that), finding cool stuff in old houses, craftsmanship, and how old houses led us to ‘retire’ at 34.

When one of your favorite bloggers teams up with one of your favorite food sites it’s bound to be good. The Pinch Of Yum studio is simple and beautiful and I want to work there! (thefauxmartha)

A pretty bathroom. (@amberinteriors)

Have a great weekend!
