HI GUYS. Now until June 2nd, Nordstrom has over 27,000 items marked down as part of their Half-Yearly Sale. It’s not the Anniversary Sale, but in my opinion, the deals are just as good—everything’s up to 50% off!

Summer is going to be here BEFORE WE KNOW IT. And I just can’t help but browse some of (okay, all of ) my favorite retailers for some new pieces. J.Crew Factory has been a go-to since my teaching days—for the style and quality, you won’t find better prices anywhere. This is what I have my eye on, plus even more at the bottom! Gauze Dress / Striped Top / Scallop Tiered Dress / Woven Flats / Woven Crossbody / Scalloped Tank Top / Gingham Swimsuit / Baseball Hat / Striped Cardigan / Scalloped Active Dress / Scalloped Swimsuit / Striped Dress Gauze Dress: Is this not the perfect throw-on-an ..read more

HAPPY WAY DAY, GUYS. Posting this a little late in the day (I mean, night ) because this roundup took me for. ev. er. The Larkin family loves Wayfair and we always look forward to when Way Day comes around! Basically, from now until Monday, a TON of stuff on Wayfair is up to 80% off.

Confession: I fully intended to post a roundup of the new Hearth & Hand collection ASAP when it went live on Sunday, but as it turns out, my definition of ASAP is Thursday. It’s fine, I’m fine. Anyway, these launches are like Christmas every time!  It seems like their big focus for summer is on entertaining and travel, which is right up our alley (in a perfect world at least haha). I put my absolute favorites into the collage below, and because I couldn’t help myself, all you have to do is scroll past the text to see (a lot) more of them. String Lights / Throw Blanket / Hard-Sided C ..read more

Pink and White Stripe / Green and Blue Floral / Pink and White Gingham / Navy and White Vertical Stripe / Blue Toile / Green Floral / Navy and White Horizontal Stripe / Coral and White Stripe / Rainbow Floral / Aqua Floral We just wrapped up our TWO WEEK spring break, yet somehow it feels like summer is totally sneaking up on us?! It’s fine, I’m fine, everyone’s fine. (That’s a lie, Mitch and I are panicking a little. ) What I AM looking forward to, though, is tons of time by the water—and the cute swimsuits. Whenever I buy Emma and Lucy new ones, I always go up one size so they can wear th ..read more

Pillow Covers / Glasses / Storage Baskets / Napkins / Curtains / Nesting Baskets / Ceramic Frame / Floating Shelves / Flush Mount / Wipeable Placemats / Marble Frame / Acrylic Frames / Ring Dish / Rug / Bath Mat (More Bath Mats!) / Lamp / Shower Curtain Can you guys tell I tried to fit as much as technologically possible in this collage? There’s just SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. It feels like brands are trying to drive revenue by just adding scallops to everything and it’s great. (Also, the first piece of furniture I’ve ever flipped has them too!) Almost everything I found is somehow under $40 and ..read more

All materials used // Lucy’s room details So I found this scalloped nightstand on Facebook Marketplace for $50, and I knew it was the perfect piece for trying my hand at furniture refinishing—something I’ve been wanting to get into for a while! The nightstand had some damage, but instead of repainting, I decided to try to bring it back to natural wood with this orange Citri Strip goo. I left it on for a few hours and then the paint basically slid off. I used mineral spirits to wash it off, steel wool to get any remaining paint, and then tack cloth to remove that residue. Then I geared up t ..read more
