Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 


                This week has been such a gift. The whole week has felt like a giant breath of fresh air. So needed. So welcomed. So grateful. I will tell you more about the fun moments tomorrow, but for today, I’m giddy to be home. All day. A true Sabbath. Rest and catching up and preparing for things to come. I may not even get out of my jammies this whole day.

                So while I Sabbath over here…I’ve got some fun finds for you!

 When I was growing up, I loved finding house floor plan books at garage sales and picking out my favorite ones. (Massive Victorians always won.) I think it’s funny now, to see my love of such things pre-Pinterest! Anyway. House plans randomly pop up on my Pinterest feed and I clicked on this one the other day just to see it – and could not believe it took me to Walmart’s site! You can buy floor plans at WALMART??? I guess you really can buy everything there! I saw several more “similar items” listed below the one I looked at, and then I had to giggle because the next suggested item to purchase with the floor plan was a box of latex gloves. I think if I were to build a house, I’d get a little sturdier gloves.

Karalyn’s work on this 1930s apartment is so beautiful. I loved reading about her dedication to restore, preserve, and still make this a beautiful home. She has a great eye for design, and I LOVE it that she kept so many original details in the kitchen! Be sue to look at all the pictures in the gallery as well as reading the story!

WOW. This is one of the best posts I’ve ever read about how to love the home where you live. Heidi approaches cozy-home-love from a beautiful perspective that most influencers skip right over – in the name of influencing, of course. I learned a few things from her post that are already helping me rethink our own home and what matters inside this place. I’m excited to keep chewing on her words and implementing what she teaches.

I grew up in a household that absolutely honored the Sabbath. I did NOT appreciate some of the rules that came along with that honoring, but I also didn’t really understand Sabbath. Now that I’m older and have a better grasp on what it means and what it requires, I love it. I love observing it. But it’s still hard. It’s hard to live in a world where people constantly host events on a Sabbath day. I still have much to learn about how to best observe and honor the Sabbath, and this post really speaks to that!

Even though I’m not a teacher, I find that I enjoy teacher-inspired clothes on wardrobe roundups. I suppose I like the mix of comfortably dressy to cute casual that most teacher wardrobes seem to include. So this was a fun inspiration board to discover recently! So many cute pieces on here, and so many great ideas for how to match them!

 Nancy’s screened-in porch makeover provides one of the hardest-working rooms I’ve seen in a while. Need a natural-light-filled room? Check. Need an office? Ceck. Need a place to relax? Check. Need coffee? Check. There isn’t a single thing in here I don’t love. And that little corner couch may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life!
