Friday Focus: June 03

June 3, 2022

I’ve swapped a lot of rugs around our house over the years, but there are just a few that have stood the test of time and have been with us for 6+ years. Rugs are such an important piece to designing a room: they set your base layer & tone for the space while adding texture, pattern and color. I prefer a neutral rug made of high-quality materials in most spaces — they’re the most versatile while lending durability and a bit of luxury underfoot. The rug in our bedroom is a great example of this: this rug has remained a favorite of mine, originally starting down in our living room and since has made its way upstairs. It is a flat woven wool with this great geometric pattern that adds a little bit of oomph to our neutral bedroom.

Using a neutral, geometric patterned rug is a great way to ease into adding a great rug to your space that’s super easy to work with. I linked a few tried and true rugs below that I can confidently say you’ll love!

I love a good salad and now that summer is here I’ve been eating one everyday. This one has been on repeat — the dressing is the perfect, creamy and healthy alternative to a bottled Caesar dressing. For a simple lunch I toss crunchy romaine or kale with this dressing + seasoned breadcrumbs. Trust me — it’s the best!

Tomorrow I will be at the Bluffton Craft Fair helping out in the Linda Renee Pottery booth and selling some of our HT x LRP pottery pieces. We’ll also have coffee and a few other fun things for everyone who comes out. I’ll be there from 9-3p, stop by and say hi!

We live on a mature lot and our landscaping is filling in nicely, but there are still a few spots around our garage and driveway that needed a good amount of plants. Yesterday I happened to stop by Walmart and found a ton of great plants on clearance and I was so excited. I really appreciate beautiful landscaping but it’s taken me a few years to get the hang of what looks nice together, how to layer plants and learning that less variety = more when it comes to landscaping.


what’s in my shopping cart

I didn’t buy much over the weekend of Memorial Day sales but I did grab a few things I’ve had my eye on for awhile –including items from McGee & Co, a large floor mirror and a chartreuse pillow cover. All linked below!


Enjoy your weekend!

Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a little refresh! He was in need of a nice, flat weave rug (because Legos) and I was really excited to get this Henley rug by @loloirugs x @joannagaines @magnolia from their latest collab. I have these rugs all over my house because I seriously love them and they wear so well! More to come on this little room of his.

I had found this rattan pedestal planter at @homeg I had found this rattan pedestal planter at @homegoods a few weeks ago and didn’t buy it, but I just had to go back for it. I think it will live here in our dining room for now!

Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain it’s time to let the furniture breathe a bit and open everything up to the sun. With part of our patio being pea gravel, the easiest way to get loose stones back where they belong is with our leaf blower - we recently topped it off with more gravel so it’s looking extra plush lately. You will find me here tonight pretending that it’s already the weekend 🥂

I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!
