I Have Lost The Will
To Curb My Spending
To make things easier, I have created a ShopMy Page with all the goodies from today’s newsletter and previous newsletters. Full disclosure, I may earn a small commission from a retailer if you make a purchase through any of the affiliate links sprinkled throughout this newsletter. As always, if you need help finding something or need ideas for a project, feel free to reach out!
There is always something I want to do to my house (I know many of you can relate to this). Recently, I changed out light fixtures I was sick of looking at for the last three years. Next up, I’m planting some trees along the fence line, having an abandoned oil tank removed, getting the gas log fireplace serviced, and adding some shelving to my laundry room. And there’s so much more I want to do. Instead of thinking of home ownership as a never-ending project, which sometimes I do, lately I think of it as a creative outlet. And an outlet I enjoy! I love designing, decorating, and shopping for things that make my house feel like a home!
Currently, I’m dreaming of making some changes in my downstairs powder room. This project is a long way off, but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming and window shopping! My vision is a new fun sink, either wall-mounted or with brass legs, a new faucet (I love an unlaquered bronze or french gold), some fun wallpaper, and a fun glossy paint for the trim and ceiling that pairs well with the wallpaper.
Here are some of my powder room ideas…
1. Love the texture of this wallpaper 2. This was in the first house I ever lived in 3. Scandi 4. Love how moody this is 5. Chic and timeless 6. Again, moody with great colors 7. Fun with great accent color options for trim 8. Gucci wallpaper does things to me 9. This is the front runner for me 10. Modern but still timeless 11. Classic, love the double legs 12. Timeless 13. Love the moody marble 14. Classy but modern

Current Obsessions
I cannot stop drooling over Diane Keaton’s collaboration with Hudson Grace (one of my all time favorite stores in the Brentwood Country Mart). I am lusting over the beautiful platters, dog door stopper, stool, throws, moody black candles, cocktail napkins, and basically everything. Fun fact: Diane is a design lover (duh, look at her wardrobe) and has redone several houses.
Miu Miu had a summer reads pop up and more brands are following suit. Reading is back!
