Wednesday Watch List

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

1 – I came across the portfolio and Instagram account of Grapevine Interiors, and I can’t stop thinking of this gorgeous pantry (another view seen here). I picked light blue cabinets for our laundry room (which also kind of doubles as a pantry) in the new build, and was starting to regret it. Granted, it was a stock light blue cabinet color, but now I’m thinking it might be the best decision ever. With so much white everywhere else, I think this home proves blue cabinets are the best idea. Be sure to check out the rest of their portfolio and Instagram – so many gorgeous spaces! If you’re looking for a similar cabinet color (I don’t know this exact one), I would try something like Benjamin Moore Blue Heather.

2 – When I saw Shea McGee sharing this oversized striped sweater in her Instagram Stories, I immediately added it to my cart! It has rave reviews in the fashion community and comes in a few solids as well as a reverse stripe color option. I went with the navy blue stripe. It’s a generous fit, but order your regular size (unless you prefer it much more fitted). It will be a perfect beach sweater for me, or to use when we visit family in the Midwest and Mountain West! If you’re a Rewards member (it’s free to join!), use codes FIRST40 and PERK to save 40% and then 10%!

3 – If you’ve read my blog for a number of years, you likely know that Thymes Frasier Fir is one of my all-time favorite winter scents. So, I decided to try their Simmered Cider candle, and it definitely does not disappoint! It’s the perfect late fall and holiday scent, with pressed apple mulled with crushed clove and cardamom, with hints of bourbon. Kurtis is a big fan too, and he basically likes three or four candles I’ve ever owned 😉

4 – I’ve been a long-time fan of Lauren Liess and her very distinct decorating style. Yesterday, she launched a collection with Rugs USA and I love every single one of the rugs! She’s previously had collections with One Kings Lane and other sites, but the price point was much higher, so I was excited to see this more affordable line. There’s also a few indoor/outdoor options in the mix, as well as a few washable rugs. We need a rug in our living room and I’m seriously considering this one, this one, this one or this one (I’m having a hard time picking a favorite)! But I’m thinking this one might be my favorite. You can read more about the collection here and see all of the available rugs here.

5 – Did you know that J. Crew now has a home section on their website? Not only that, it’s a lot of Liberty prints and lots of pieces for home, and they just launched the holiday home section! Admittedly, it’s a lot of patterns when you scroll through all the offerings. But, when viewed in the styled photos with a few pieces, it is all stunning! And they’re all perfect for really any holiday this fall and winter! Use code SHOPNOW for 35% off many of the tablecloths, napkins, etc. (as well as a lot of clothes)! The Estelle colored glass is still a favorite, but for a much more budget-friendly option, don’t forget these sets I’ve recommended in the past! I have the stemmed version, but the price on the stemless is so great, I may get those too! They’re so much prettier in person than the stock photo!
