weekly wrap up + my favorite spots

today i’m relaxing in my parent’s house for the remainder of the holiday weekend. i’ll be kicking off holiday coverage on monday so i’m gearing up for gift guide mania. until then i thought i’d share some of my favorite spots in my childhood home (like the stripey pink wallpaper we inherited from the previous owners) and highlights from this week’s posts. see you on monday!

ah, grace – I now see 1) where you got your lovely taste, and 2) why you felt so at home at Miette!! that striped paper and those prints look so much like the shop! have a great holiday weekend! xo

You’re so lucky to have parents with great taste. I’m so jealous, especially of the white French couch.

LOVE that french couch… don’t get me started on the fringe! the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
