The Saturday 6

Apr202019

ONE. If you’re a fan of fearless color, check out this Instagram account.

TWO. 3 Ways to dress up bedroom closet doors.

THREE. And speaking of doors. . . I love what Kristin did with her small laundry closet.

FOUR. If this doesn’t just sum up motherhood, I don’t know what does. It made me laugh–only because we’re on the other side of our own DIY haircut experience.

FIVE. This closet project feels so luxurious without being totally over the top.

SIX. A quick tip: did you know that Wayfair has open box deals on their site? These are usually returns that have been opened but are undamaged and reduced for a quicker sale. You can see the full list and search for specific items here.

Updating My Nightstand + Way Day Deals

Apr102019

This post is sponsored by Wayfair.

My poor nightstand was falling apart, mostly thanks to all of the extra books, art projects and papers I’d stuffed in it over the last few years. It was time to upgrade to something a little heftier and this three-drawer white chest from Wayfair fit the bill. Since we have a painted navy armoire and a dark bed already, I like to keep this corner clean and white. I think the honeycomb overlay was just the pattern the room needed.

I love the clean drawers so much I may never put anything back in them. :)

You might have noticed that I often link to Wayfair on my blog because it really is a one-stop shop for all things home. (There’s over 10 million products on the site!) I can almost always find whatever it is I happen to be on the hunt for that day.

And today just happens to be the start of their biggest sale of the year: Way Day. It starts at 12pm EST (on 4/10) and runs for 36 hours. This is the time you’ll find their best deals of the year–the lowest prices since Black Friday–and free shipping on over 100,000 home decor and furniture pieces across Wayfair and their other brands: Birch Lane, Joss & Main and All Modern. Since there are so many things included, I’ve linked to some of my personal favorite pieces below in each category. If I can help you locate something specific, let me know in the comments.

Good Things (February 2019)

Mar42019

A few of the good things I discovered during the month of February. Enjoy!

This combination of emerald and chartreuse. Maybe I’m just really craving Spring. (Tray can be found here.)

After so many of you recommended it, I just finished this podcast about a multi-level marketing investigation. And, I just found this newer one where a different person shares their deepest family secret on each episode. If you like to hear people’s life stories, you’ll really enjoy it.

I just ordered this utility jacket (in navy) and I love the fit and weight of it. It’s just a little heavier than my green, more expensive one from Nordstrom (similar to the one) that I’ve almost worn out.

And speaking of jackets, it never ever stops raining here lately. This is a classic rain coat. And, I’ve been wearing these inexpensive boots more than I’d ever planned.

Need a quick read? I just finished this one and really liked it.

I love this $20 blouse. Easy to dress up or down.

A miracle occurred. My husband and I both found a show we like on Netflix. 7 Days Out follows some of the world’s biggest events and what it’s like during the seven days leading up to them. (The one about the restaurant grand opening was my favorite so far.)

I found the most comfortable slip-on sneakers on eBay.

Like cosmetic samples? Sephora now offers monthly $10 subscription box that looks like a lot of fun.

I posted this dress on a Saturday 6 recently and am following up to say how much I like it. It’s loose and comfy and I think it looks even better belted.

This moisturizer feels so good on my face and doesn’t feel heavy once I put it on. I received a sample and immediately ordered it. (They totally got me.)

I bought these silver shoes for Spring. Can you tell I love comfortable shoes? (On the other hand, can you believe people are actually paying this kind of money for this “shoe of the moment”?? It blows my mind.)

I just found this Etsy shop and love the delicate initial jewelry. (Mother’s Day idea??)

I always like to leave you with a song, and this is one of my favorites. And a fun fact: The soloist on the right just joined the music staff at our church. We’re so excited to have him.

PS–Here’s last month’s “good things” list, in case you missed it.

PPS–I’m taking a little blogging break. It’s just a busy season, and I’m more and more convinced that looking up from a screen every now and then is good for the soul–and possibly for 40-something-year-old eyes.
