Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the random things that captured my attention and stole my heart over the past week!

1 – Ariel Okin’s portfolio continues to impress, and this New Jersey home tour is a recent favorite! Inspired by the English countryside, where one of the homeowners is from, there are so many beautiful details throughout. And how great is this exterior?!

3 – This is super random, but we love these large bowls. We love them so much that when we move, I need to order an additional set of four because we use them all the time. We’re really into bowl-type dinners lately (I’ll share some ideas further down), and we’ve found that the size of these bowls works so much better for that type of meal! They’re also great for salads, pho, soups, pasta, etc. – really anything that needs a bit more room than a typical cereal or soup bowl. Everything we’ve tried in the Open Kitchen collection we’ve loved – and it’s great that you can order individually or in sets!
Here are some of the bowls we love right now:
- Chicken or ground beef with cottage cheese, cubed sweet potatoes, avocado and hot honey
- Rice bowls with cilantro lime rice, ground beef, pico de gallo
- Blue cheese steak bowls with sliced steak, small rainbow tomatoes, red onions, blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing, with or without lettuce added
5 – Walmart continues to knock it out of the park when it comes to patio furniture launches each year. And this year’s My Texas House collection is no exception! Not only is there a cute black and white collection (second set below) there is a new white and light blue collection with x-backs! The umbrellas are darling too! We’ve had such great luck with their patio furniture in the past (specifically the Better Homes & Gardens lines) so I’m excited to try a few of these pieces. I’m just hoping they stay in stock until we move! All sources are listed below the graphic.
