Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Timeless Classics
Hi and Happy Official Fall! I think I’ve mentioned this, but fall clothing is the best consolation if summer insists on being over. And it very much feels like fall here in Michigan. It is back to my cold weather uniform. As with the fall jacket options, this is meant more as a loose guideline for a fall capsule, some pieces you may have and others you may be interested in gradually adding. Whatever works for you as you create your own fall capsule wardrobe.

The Quarterly 09
Summer is in full swing (and I won’t accept any other sentiments until it is over on September 21). What a great summer it has been! A European trip, some home updates, a few new summer outfits, and books that I have been using as references for a few friend projects that I get to be on text for. Oh, and my skin care holy grails, Things that Caught My Eye, and a Coastal Cottage Girls Room Design Board.

The Quarterly 08
Well we are back from Spring Break and officially have a driver. Time is a thief. Not to waste it… Here is what I have to share- a spring birthday tablescape and menu, what we did in the Bahamas with our teens and parents, a book, a show I loved then hated, a show I hated then loved, Spring Things that Caught My Eye, and a Design Board.

February: Things I Wore, Things I Read & Everything Else
I’ve been doing a lot of trying to get through February. The 60 degree days definitely helped and gave some hope as we head toward Moody March. It’s been a fairly random month of planning possible summer trips and presenting to them to our family of four, some clothing purchases, creating design boards, kitchen dreaming (not mine this time, thank goodness!), reading, and perusing things that have Caught My Eye. There isn’t time to touch on all of the randomness, but keep reading for what I’ve got.

February is upon us. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t feel as long as the 5002 days of January. This is a big month in our house. My birthday, our son’s birthday, Valentine’s Day. Admittedly, Valentine’s Day is often pushed to the wayside, but if you celebrate, here are some ideas.

A Vintage Basement
A Vintage Basement We recently gave our vintage basement (circa, 1928 to be exact) a glow up. Did I use that term correctly? I don’t even know. But I did recently get to do a fit check with our teen so feeling very in lately. Anyway, I am sure I have shared that we were constantly hemming and hawing over redoing the basement. I loved the color, but it felt like we needed to move the basement from our kids’ younger years to be more in line with the current needs of our family.
