Happy Friday! 6/5/26
Happy Friday! How are you? We've been deep in the weeds at the Hill House this week, tackling all sorts of small and not-so-small projects. Most excitingly, we had our first go at stripping wallpaper and let's just say... it's a lot of work! But also so satisfying. Between wallpaper, hanging shower curtain rods, and plumbing stuff, it feels like we've earned a weekend :) Wishing you a good one!

A few things that caught my eye this week:
This pattern-filled cape cod home is so lovely. Yes please to the clawfoot tub on the deck!
“We’ve enjoyed the quiet look, but what comes next?” Love this direction for houses: “Now, the most compelling interiors are asking for something more – soul, serendipity and the confidence to let a home tell its own story.”
I’ve been shopping for leather sandals for the summer and Quince has such lovely ones (and so reasonably priced!).
This week we kicked off the last upstairs project… the ensuite bathroom. It’s shaping up to be classic and so pretty.
The 7 best wellness towns to visit in the US this summer.
We’re thinking about adding a little color to the Hill House’s staircase and these are all so pretty!
Grandma’s house looks different in 2026.
Oooo I’m really intrigued by this 15% rule in interior design. “Micromanaging can seriously kill your vision”
Currently on my nightstand (or audio book equivalent). What are you reading (or listening to)?
Have a good one!
