10 Things I Love Sunday 2019

Happy Sunday, friends! Emma here, and I’ve had these bats up in my house since September 18. Crazy or genius? Ha.

1 For real though, foam bats are one of my favorite high-impact, low-cost Halloween decor. I hang them with poster hangers, which works on almost any surface without damaging walls or windows. Love it.

2. Obsessed with this watercolor artist. So many pretty pieces!

3. Recently read this book by Robin Sloan. I think he may be one of my favorite writers. I hope he writes more!

4. I am currently traveling home from a week-long trip to Iceland with friends and my husband. I bought these socks before the trip and they made a big difference! If are in need of warm, moisture-wicking socks, I highly recommend anything made with Merino wool.

5. And since we’re on the subject of warm clothing, I also got this coat in gingham and loooooove it. It’s a more casual look but so warm, still lightweight and I think really cute.

6. I feel like no one has talked about this movie, but have you seen Vox Lux? It’s pretty sad/dark but such an interesting portrait of life after a traumatic event, plus the way they choose to do credits and break up the film is just really pretty.

7. Still love my white fireplace with bookshelf (pictured above). Can’t wait to decorate it for Christmas next month. 🙂

8. Dear HARRY POTTER FANS—I am working on a little HP-inspired project and I’d love to find more Etsy (or other small biz artists) who make great HP fan art. Let me know in the comments if you know of anyone/any place I should be looking?

9. A couple months ago, a did a mini refresh on our bedroom (not something I’m blogging, was really very minor stuff overall), but I did get a new light fixture and rug that I am still really digging.

10. I have a growing collection of handmade ceramic mugs that I love SO much. Here’s a few makers I’ve bought from in the past: Not Work Related and Freckled Pottery.

xo, Emma

These Benches Provide More Than Just a Place to Sit

Short, long, wooden, metal, upholstered or padded — benches come in an endless array of styles and materials. It’s a good thing too because a stylish bench can add a bit of flair and a lot of convenience to any room in the house. Historical sources say that benches were a common type of simple seat in the era when only the most important people actually got to sit in a chair. Today, this humble piece of furniture has evolved from a second-class seat to a very functional element that can also be very stylish. Without a doubt, there’s a bench that fits the decor and size of your room, so check out these beautiful options. Luxuriously Padded View in gallery This hand-crafted marvel is the Margot Bench from Chapter and Verse furniture. This particular model is made from steam-bent American Black Walnut, with a marvelously upholstered top. The textural, channel-tufted jacquard textile is in great contrast with the hand-rubbed oil finish on the base. The handsome piece would be ste...

25 Racing Car Beds For Children Rooms

Kids love racing cars and it’s not that difficult to understand why. They’re fast, flashy, colorful, noisy and pretty cool plus we now have a bunch of animations that basically revived the trend in a big way. With that in mind, you have to admit that having a racing car bed is pretty awesome, especially as a kid. You don’t have to be a Nascar fan to see it. View in gallery Most racing car beds manage to combine a fun design with a safe structure Racing car beds are usually small and designed just for children. They feature bold and vibrant colors that make them stand out and make the children like them even more. Red and blue are very common colors for such pieces. They also usually have numbers on them and those checkerboard patterns on the sides. Building a racing car bed is actually a very interesting concept. It’s a two-in-one piece.
