Friday Five
Posted on March 17th, 2017
After twenty consecutive days of rain, we had a little life-changing visit from the sun yesterday. The perfect way to pregame Friday! I’m looking forward to tracking my March Madness brackets and seeing Beauty & the Beast this weekend. The rain will be back, but those are indoor activities anyway!
Watching… the Great British Bake Off. It came to my attention that two additional seasons of the loveliest, most calming show were added to Netflix, so we’ve been working through them diligently. I can’t decide which is more inspiring between the beautiful bakes and Mary Berry’s on point jacket collection.
Celebrating... the Oxford Comma. After it became the subject of a court case in Maine, I feel validation in my choice to eschew modernism and litter my writing with punctuation.
Pinning… this kitchen facelift. What I love about this is it feels like an attainable before and after. So many “kitchen makeovers” seem to feature an entirely different house at the end after a $4 jillion renovation, but this clearly shows the magic of paint, hardware, and countertops. The industrial light fixtures and stools aren’t quite my vibe, but I think they’re a very logical choice for the rustic Utah setting.
Planning… to pare down my closet a bit this weekend, and I’m putting it on the internet to hold myself accountable. It’s a bit of classic spring cleaning, but it’s also great timing since it’s the end of the season and surely those sweaters I didn’t wear a single time because they didn’t look quite right have got to go.
Stitching… new needlepoint canvases! I just started a new belt for Ian that I’m hoping will be finished for this summer, and I also just ordered a sunglasses case canvas from Lycette Designs. Very superfluous. I can’t wait.
Hope you and your brackets have an amazing weekend!
