over the years, my favorite anniversary gift to give has been photo books by artifact uprising. we have been fortunate to see some magnificent places, and this ensures that the photos just don’t live on my phone. as a bookbinding freak, i love the fabric covers and thick, matte paper the company offers. these are definitely books we hope to have forever.

flowers from the market, lipstick that came in the most stunning packaging, and a new floral paris inspired candle are some of the small things that are making me happy this winter.

my post from the holidays made me realize that i never did a dining area reveal. while this area will still change over time as we collect more art from our travels, it makes me ridiculously happy to eat at as is. the lamp is from drew barrymore’s collection for walmart and fits in perfectly without blocking the art.

to say that i had a mild obsession with the pottery in japan is quite the understatement. we went to more stores than i can count, and i feasted on all the little bowls and dishes they had available. while many of these are meant for japanese-style meals, i use them everyday for mise en place while cooking, separating parts of my meal while eating, or even holding my tea bag.
these pictures make me ridiculously happy.

i finished my next five books for the year. this time, my favorite was a tie between where the crawdads sing and gentleman in moscow. i absolutely love amor towles’s writing.

some more progress shots of the apartment renovations. the rough plumbing and electrical are complete, and the bathroom has been waterproofed. doesn’t look like much yet but most of the work behind the walls has been done. next up is the tiling in the bathroom.

one of my favorite instagram accounts to follow is the home edit. not only are clea and joanna hilarious, but their method of styling and organization provides some serious inspiration. because i started buying blue ball jars years ago, i wasn’t going to recycle them all for the sake of organization aesthetics. i decided to work with what i had, get a few baskets and trays, and this is what my cabinets look like now. i didn’t “style” these for the photos, so they are more or less always like this now (depending on what food i have around).

we’ve been keeping the apartment pretty clean lately, so i thought it would snap a few pictures of some of my favorite corners.
i also decided to get back to my shopping list method of focusing on what i want for the season. its funny that some of the items from my prior lists are still on there. i either never found the item, or i bought one and it has since worn out.
