Glad Sunday, everybody. We’re scripting this earlier than Friday, so in case there’s massive information that isn’t mentioned, that’s why. We hope that everybody used their voice in any method they might and stayed secure. Additionally, don’t cease! We love our numerous group right here, and wish everybody to really feel good and seen. Okay, let’s get into these hyperlinks.
This week’s home tour is just not your common dwelling! It’s extra of a gallery or museum. You simply need to see it.
From Emily: I’m SO excited to advocate this thriller to you. The author, Marisa Kashino, is a reader and design lover. And now her debut novel is KILLING IT (already a greatest vendor and getting a sequence made on Hulu). Finest Supply Wins is entertaining from web page one (a pair coping with 18 months of bidding wars) after which will get gripping actually quick. The voice and tone are really easy to learn, you don’t need to put it down, and the author, Marisa Kashino, is clearly into design so there are lots of references that I feel you guys will love (I feel she was a design and actual property editor earlier than so her inside information of that trade is clearly paying off right here). I additionally simply love a profession threat and pivot like she’s taken – its completely inspiring. If you need a really entertaining, quick learn filled with juicy design bits combined in, take a look at Finest Supply Wins.
Additionally From Emily: Brian’s second publish on our private publication is how he made the choice to be the lead father or mother (sure, stay-at-home dad, however we’re all performed with that time period for both gender). Now I do know the story, I lived it, and whereas there are factors within the course of that we each need to overlook, I knew the way it all went down. And but I used to be completely riveted, and I teared up 3 instances (I’m very near it, clearly). I’m simply so happy with him for being so open and proudly owning it (and to not point out being such an distinctive lead father or mother). I do know that not everybody’s expertise with males is as optimistic as mine, however man, this technology of males in our lives are such good, closely concerned dads. We now have extra lead father or mother dads in our lives than I might have predicted, and it’s fairly exceptional. Anyway, simply needed to flag it when you missed it yesterday or if this was the publish you have been ready to learn. It’s so weak and nonetheless entertaining.
From Caitlin: This isn’t my regular advice – I’m not a high fashion gal – however HOLY CRAP, these robes from Georges Hobeika’s Spring 2026 assortment are DIVINE. (Sending you to that web site solely as a result of I can’t discover protection in any design publications!) The colours. The pleating. The draping. SO, SO, SO BEAUTIFUL. I’m drooling over costume #4 in picture 2, costume #2 in picture 3, and like…all of them in picture 4. Just a bit eye sweet for you!
From Mallory: You may’ve seen my mother and father’ lounge makeover earlier this week – it was SO enjoyable to drag collectively, and all of us had a blast doing it. I needed to focus on a product from that shoot that I used to be tremendous impressed with for the worth – these loopy reasonably priced curtains! Excessive-quality customized curtains are a “good to have”, however curtains may also look actually lux with out breaking the financial institution (simply ensure they’re pinch pleat and also you’re often good!). I purchased these for my mother and father final yr and put in them as a shock once they went away one weekend, they usually turned out so cute. I used to be in search of a cream sheer curtain that was over 100 inches lengthy and located these for $25 (for a pack of two). I couldn’t be extra impressed with them, you guys. They made SUCH a giant distinction in warming up their house. I used to be seeking to cowl 3 home windows, so I wanted a couple of panels and an extra-long curtain rod, and didn’t need to break the financial institution as a result of curtain panels, rods, and rings can critically add up. So when I discovered this adjustable, reasonably priced black rod, I instantly snagged it together with these curtain rings. I’m very impressed with the standard and the way they’ve held up! Take a look at the publish to see them in motion when you missed it!
From Gretchen: I took somewhat weekend journey with my bestie to the mountain just lately, and we had a lot enjoyable catching up over yummy selfmade dinners and too many mimosas. We made our 2026 bingo playing cards (a enjoyable approach to reimagine and observe your resolutions/objectives for the yr) and explored all of the gorgeous nature proper in our Airbnb’s yard…however we additionally managed to clock some SOLID TV time. Typically the weekend simply requires it! I don’t even need to inform you what number of reveals and flicks we have been capable of squeeze in over just some days, however I’ll inform you that the film Roofman is a MUST-WATCH. Primarily based on a real story about an escaped, weirdly well mannered convict, performed by Channing Tatum, the man evades seize for SIX WHOLE MONTHS by hiding/residing within a Toys R Us (RIP). The storyline was so weird (and intently follows the actual deal), however the appearing and storytelling have been simply too good. Additionally, if it is a information story that doesn’t ring a bell, you’ll have simply as a lot enjoyable deep diving the unique information articles after watching, I promise. Humorous, candy, unusual, and somewhat bit nostalgic. A simple weekend watch when you’re in search of one!
From Marlee: This weekend I used to be trying out a secondhand athletic retailer in Portland (Revive on SE Hawthorne, test it out – nice assortment and costs) and located a pair of these Vuori leggings – it was tremendous serendipitous as a result of I have already got a pair of those they usually’re my FAVORITE – I used to be actually on their web site earlier that week debating if I can purchase one other pair. I’m not the most important fan of carrying leggings, however these are comfier than some other pair I’ve tried. I discover that the waistband feels barely looser than some other leggings I’ve, and also you’re capable of tighten them with the drawstring (which is a cute function) slightly than them reducing into your abdomen. I additionally really feel like these are extra mid-rise than most different leggings I’ve – they hit proper beneath my stomach button slightly than all the best way to my ribcage, which I discover extra flattering. I’m 5’8” and put on a dimension small. I extremely advocate these the following time you’re in search of a pair of leggings, particularly when you’re delicate to the waistband and wish to keep away from tremendous high-rise leggings – and bonus factors if you’ll find them used. They’d a number of pairs at this retailer, and I additionally stopped by Crossroads, they usually had a lot nice used athletic put on. Like, 40 pairs of Lululemon leggings for underneath $30 – in case you have a Crossroads or Buffalo Change close to you, test them out for athletic-wear!
From Jess: I lastly reordered Contemporary Peaches! What’s Contemporary Peaches, you say? It’s a gel that simply and successfully makes bathroom paper a flushable moist wipe. I like this product a lot, and it doesn’t add extra waste. 10/10
From Arlyn: I’ve a brand new design crush: Mandy Cheng. I discovered the designer by means of a current Arch Digest home tour, and my goodness, the main points all through are so attention-grabbing (simply wait till you see the stained glass “transom” on the stair bannister upstairs). A number of the photos of her dwelling have been instantly bookmarked into my folders for secure inspiration preserving, however then I discovered this 15-minute YouTube video with an in-depth tour. Seeing what the home regarded like earlier than—and an previous craftsman in full and utter disrepair—and listening to that she and her husband did lots of the work themselves attributable to price range constraints is simply totally wonderful to me. Like, critically, wow. Take a break from doom scrolling tonight, and as a substitute, watch this dwelling tour. It’s value it!
Thanks for spending time with us at the moment, and see y’all tomorrow. xx
