When you’re designing a house or heck, even a room, there are so many little decisions that need to be made all at once. And just when you think you might be close to being done a question like “What sheen do you want for your cabinets?” comes up. Or wait, does the trim need to be a different sheen than the walls? It’s a seemingly small thing that can cause A LOT of stress…until now.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been typing away about sprucing up our outdoor spaces. And if you’ve ever had an outdoor space (my current apartment was my first) then you know the elements are no joke and that’s coming from someone living in southern California where the “elements” are pretty mild. So what’s the solution? Well, a storage piece is a great place to start. Of course, you need to know what will work best for you.

Two weeks ago I pulled together our (mostly) annual outdoor furniture roundup. I hope it was really helpful for anyone needing to fill a new outdoor space or refresh a piece or two in an existing one. But I think it’s fair to say that a solid number of us don’t need a ton of new furniture; instead, we would like to breathe some new life into our mostly decorated outdoor spaces without totally breaking the bank. That’s where those glorious outdoor pillows and rugs come in.

While it’s not “warm” in most places, yet (in the US at least), it is on its way, meaning our outdoor spaces are going to be calling our names sooner than we think. And if you are someone who needs either a new piece of furniture or an entire set, this post is here to help. Now, I say this anytime I write about outdoor furniture…it’s not cheap stuff.

Hi! It’s me Jess—your resident light fixture obsessed friend. Today I am here to chat to you about your boobs. BOOB LIGHTS! We allll know the ones. Landlords and flippers love them because they are cheap (especially when you need to get a lot of them). It’s a real “don’t hate the player, hate the game” situation but honestly I’m not a fan of either.

Remember that throw pillow scene in Along Came Polly?? That bed had ELEVEN throw pillows on it. And look, that was the style for a time but I might have taken a knife to them too. I’m pretty sure my own parents had about six on their bed most of my childhood. If that is still your thing and you love it, then I love it for you. No shame. Now, at the current design moment, it feels as though using any decorative throw pillows is “out”, which, at least for me, isn’t my preference either.

We are jeans people. It’s not that we don’t love dresses, skirts, etc. but most of the time we are sporting a beloved pair of denim. Last week, we were chatting about the barrel jean trend and thought maybe we should all do a try-on to see how each of us liked them. But then Em had a better (and VERY generous) idea. I mean, jean styles are super personal and rarely does a single pair of jeans work on everyone, despite what a certain movie might have us believe:).

It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these sales posts. Normally, the angel we know as Caitlin Higgins is the one who takes these beasts on. But Caitlin was on vacation so I took the reins this round. The one thing I forgot about the process is that you are exposed to A LOT of really great (and on sale) items that are so tempting to click purchase on.

Happy Sunday everyone! What did you think of Robyn’s living room and dining room reveals? We are pretty happy with how they turned out:) We also just shot some very fun updates that will be coming to you all soon. Ok, let’s just get straight into this week’s links…This week’s house tour is another masterpiece by Jessica Helgerson. A Queen Anne-style home that was brought back to life in just the most beautiful and cool way.

Since we needed to make a last-minute change to the calendar, we got to thinking about what people might be looking for. Well, it’s definitely the rainy season… so at least for me, it’s rainwear. So since half of our team lives in the rain for over half of the year, I thought to ask the rain experts, the EHD Portland team. I picked their brains on what their favorite cute but really good raincoats and boots were. Here are my findings…Rains Long JacketThis was the first jacket they sent through.
