Happy Friday 5/23/25

Happy Friday! And happy unofficial start to summer! Any exciting weekend plans? Papa just got this enviable BBQ on a Memorial Day sale and we’re inviting ourselves over for burgers and potatoe salad and some time in Nana’s garden! Now if the weather could just warm up a bit ;) Wishing you a lovely long weekend!

Here are some links from the week…

Found myself pinning every single image from this gorgeous house tour (that scalloped banquette!). So many beautiful details that I’m saving for the Hill House renovation (shown above).

We finally have a finished space at the Poplar Cottage! Woot woot! Shared a full reveal of the main bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the blog this week. Those before’s though 🫣

Watermelon lemonade. This recipe is a summer tradition at Nana’s house and we’ll definitely be making it as soon as the weather warms up a bit ore.

Just discovered Lulu Lemon’s ‘we made too much’ section’ - they make the best running gear!

The wrong way to motivate your kid.

So I like cucumber deodorant now.

This room is quietly becoming the most renovated in the house. Oooo I’m surprised!

5 actually-delicious recipes kids can make by their own. YUM!

Currently on my nightstand. This book has had me counting down the minutes until bed time every night this week!

A couple Memorial Day sales for ya, mostly things we have in our home in case you’ve been eyeing them…

This pretty printed jute/wool rug is 67% off (it’s in our living room at Poplar)

This Traeger Grill is 22% off

Our exterior lights at Poplar are 10% off

J.Crew up to 50% off (I’m eyeing this casual dress/cover-up and this linen sweater )

Have a good one!
