Comfortable Sunday, everybody! Did you see we’re doing one other VELUX Brighter Days Makeover Giveaway?? It’s one in every of our favourite sorts of makeovers as a result of who doesn’t love a tremendous skylight? So head to that submit to see in case you qualify after which APPLY! Apart from that, the EHD staff is gearing up for a “Birthday Retreat” (all of our birthdays are in both September or October) and we’re fairly excited. Don’t fear, we’ll be very productive:) Okay, hyperlinks??
This week’s home tour put our jaws on the ground. Nicola Harding designed probably the most unreal new-build English chalet that’s bursting with shade and texture, however in a approach that seems like a magical hug. You must see it for your self.
From Emily: Hey Portland of us, the primary annual Nest Fest is going on September twentieth in SE Portland, placed on by the Willamette Weekly. They’ve a slew of design actions in all of our favourite shops (within the GOAT blocks). A ton of my favourite shops are concerned, and I’m actually, actually hoping to make it. IF you’re in Portland and round that weekend, go assist native design. All data is HERE.
From Caitlin: It lastly occurred: I used to be duped. Fooled. Bamboozled, even. The perpetrator? This marble catch-all that appears approach older and approach dearer than its $22 price ticket. I noticed it on the espresso desk in a pal’s residence and requested which flea market or vintage retailer she’d sourced it from (like an absolute DOPE), and was surprised to be taught that it was, in actual fact, BRAND NEW. My ego was bruised – I’ll by no means hear the top of it! – however I stay to struggle one other day. (And for what it’s price, I might have paid as much as $40 for it on the flea market. Good wanting stone is nice wanting stone!)
Additionally from Caitlin: I’m delighted to report that The Paper – the spinoff of The Workplace – is definitely nice! I’ve made it by the primary 5 episodes – it’s laugh-out-loud humorous (when you get previous Domhall Gleason’s American accent, which is jarring. He’s simply so quintessentially British! He shouldn’t sound like that!) and endearingly idealistic. I’d say it feels extra like an Abbot Elementary or a Parks and Recreation in tone (it’s a bit lighter, extra playful, sometimes foolish), however I actually assume it has a shot at being a traditional American sitcom. Possibly it’ll even reenergize the markets for native papers! In any case, kudos to the staff on pulling off such a extremely anticipated reimagining. (I’m simply so glad it’s truly good!!!!!!!)
From Jess: As I’m prepping for my MOTO shoot (that’s in simply over per week!!) I wanted a store vac. Sure, my candy little balcony was in determined want of a cleansing. It had a lot particles on and within the cracks of the tiles. Mainly, my regular vacuum wouldn’t do. So now I’m the proud proprietor of this man! I like it. However FYI, horsepower is essential. I obtained a 4-gallon, 3.5-horsepower one first that was ineffective. Confused, I referred to as my dad, who requested, “Properly, what’s the horsepower?” You gotta have at the least 5…” Cool, cool, cool. Nice to know that data AFTER I bought that much less highly effective one. Anyway, in case you want a store vac that’s measurement however not big, and highly effective, the Bunges are large followers of this one (Les has the identical one).
Additionally From Jess: I’m in my skort period apparently and just lately obtained this mild blue satin/lace one (I sized down a measurement) AND this fake leather-based one (in chocolatier brown) that I very appropriately wore to the Goo Goo Dolls and Dashboard Confessional live performance final weekend. Fingers Down, a few of my favourite new items;)

The best way this assortment performs with shapes and scale is daring, stylish, and but we expect, versatile. No misses right here. Congrats to those superior groups!!
From Mallory: I used these sweater bins again after we did our $150 EHD closet makeover problem, they usually had been a GAME CHANGER. The proper answer to storing sweaters/foldable shirts/pants/and so forth, as a result of you’ll be able to seize the objects out of the entrance of the bin they usually’re clear, so you’ll be able to see what’s inside. I’m an enormous fan – they made my life SO a lot simpler they usually’re on a 40% off sale proper now!!
From Arlyn: After I was a child, I might shovel chocolate Teddy Grahams into my mouth. I cherished them a lot I’d even flip them right into a bowl of cereal (good lord). Now, as a grown-up, I, uh, don’t try this anymore. However I discovered the following smartest thing with the additional benefit of fiber and even some protein! Easy Mills is one in every of my go-to cracker manufacturers at residence, and their Chocolate Brownie Cookies style precisely how I keep in mind Teddy Grahams tasting. Chocolatey, candy, however produced from issues like watermelon and sunflower seed flour, and flax. My child and I like them, and I don’t really feel any which approach about popping just a few into her lunch field. I linked to their web site the place you’ll find shops they’re offered in, however you can even seize them on Amazon in case you store there.
From Marlee: My hair holy grail this time of yr is the whole lot Amika. A normal observe I stay by is: the colder and wetter it will get outdoors, the much less I wash my hair. Because it will get wet in Portland, there isn’t any higher sensory nightmare for me than going into the rain or chilly with already moist hair (I’m strictly air drying in the summertime). It feels bizarre, it simply by no means dries, and when it does, it’s insanely flat on prime and frizzy throughout. The flip of autumn marks the interval of my curling iron, blow dryer, dry shampoo, and texture spray residing on my rest room counter for the season. Not solely do the Amika merchandise scent AMAZING (folks all the time praise my “fragrance”), the dry shampoo doesn’t really feel prefer it leaves excessive buildup like different ones, and actually seems like a bit goes a great distance. Their texture spray is the best for bringing quantity again into my hair because it begins to go flat and get greasy, and a hack I realized is that this works SO nicely for balancing out my cowlick on my half. My hair will get extraordinarily brittle within the winter, and I additionally looooove their hair masks – it really leaves my hair so so tender and feeling tremendous wholesome and glossy. Their branding is tremendous cute however in case you’ve ever missed it as a result of it appears form of stylish, I’m right here to let you know it’s not! Additionally, nearly each hairstylist I’ve gone to in the previous couple of years makes use of it!
From Gretchen: Is it the top of summer time? Certain. However I discover myself shopping for assertion sun shades by the boatload. I used to be purchasing in retailer at Free Folks just a few weeks in the past to seize some final minute lewks for a trip. I discovered some good denims (that are sadly now not accessible as they had been on a significant sale) and two pairs of sunnies. This pair felt like an ideal form on my face–a traditional black rounded lens with a barely hexagonal really feel up prime. Simple, cute, sensible, $25. Rating! However THIS pair was straight up for enjoyable and style causes… my try at wanting like a “cool lady”. Blue lenses, fashionable and chunky aviator form, with a heat brown body, $30. Double rating!
Thanks for spending time with us as we speak, and prepare for a VERY cool reveal tomorrow:)
