Vol 4: Keeping my Peace content means sharing things that keep me in a good headspace. Definitely check out previous installs of this series for more feel good.

In design, as in life, often you don’t know what’s possible until you see it. When we bought our land, we had a general idea of what we wanted to build. I learned that for me, it is so helpful to have a hard copy (and not just Pinterest) version of things when I’m consuming to learn, when I want to properly absorb information.

These books provided a wealth of information not just around design choices, but also on the practical aspects of a design build project, the actual journey- the ups and downs, leveraging friends, family your own skills to make your dream space happen. Some of the books even had really helpful technical information around layouts and floor plans which helped when it was time to meet with architects/builders.

Books featured:
1- Cabin Porn Inside by @zachklein via @littlebrown
2- Oasis by iO Tillet Wright, photos by @caseycdunn via @clarksonpotter
3- Escapology by McAllister & Ryan via @figure1

Vol 3: African Diaspora Art & Design Books.

When it comes to art and design, it can sometimes feel like a hard job figuring who and what is out there. I believe all of these books are super helpful in finding super talented artists, makers, designers. So for the next time you’re thinking about your home, your project, your space, the next time you’re looking for talent and resources- I think there’s lots to find and love in these.

Books featured:
1- The African Decor Edit by @xnstudio_ via @abramsbooks
2- Crafted Kinship by @malene.barnett via @artisan_books
3- When We See Us by @madamekoyo
4- Africamericanos via @museoamparo

That first dress fits so well and had good weight to it.

Yes- it’s nice to be able to afford some of the other brands I share on here but I know that’s not possible for everyone and frankly right now after putting my money in real estate (with pending landscape projects) I’m trying to not spend on outfits this Summer. So definitely renting, shopping my closet and also definitely happy when I can find a few options like this for $25. I’ll absolutely take it.

Exploring the linen/line blend options different brands have to offer. See previous for other brands

#LTKSummerEdit #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

Honestly- just wanted to know whether they should be added to rotation of go to brands so I decided to order quite a few things. I literally know them just for their bedding which I actually do recommend but they’ve expanded rapidly over the past few years and now have everything from clothing to furniture.

Final verdict: they’ve got solid basics at a good price point. Quality seemed fine but I did catch a few snagged threads on some pieces. I think they’re worth checking out but I only kept the white dress and the other dress I mentioned in video. I wanted to love that last dress but maybe the sizing or something was off. I would shop there again - I think the mix and match tops, pants, shorts are solid options, if you want an easy summer wardrobe that you can repeat (assuming they wash and keep well)- do drop a comment if you wear their stuff and share your experience with longevity.

In terms of real life, my basics get more use than my standout dresses cos I honestly don’t always feel like repeating the big prints or statement dresses.
That was just my 2cents.

Honestly just felt like sharing the little things that make me happy. I’m not a food creator but like most of us I cook meals weekly and while the internet is a great resource for all things from cooking to interior design, you’ll always find me a grabbing a physical book instead. Call me old school. These are the little things I can bury myself in without having to be online and that help keep the cray of current times away.

Note: Sadly Cut for time but worth space in your kitchen: @ottolenghi Flavour, @honeysuckle Cookbook.

Next time Interior design books.

Feel free to share your faves.

Vol 2: Keeping my Peace content means sharing things that keep me in a good headspace. I don’t get to read as many books as I used to, but I allow myself to get a little lost in a good coffee table book. Art, history, design… you name it. Here are just a few that I think are worth adding to your home: (I spoke at such length on each of these but then had a 20min video that no one will watch- so my opinions on these have really really been edited down).

1. Dandy Lion by @apshantology @thedandylionproject @aperturefnd
2. Unseen by @rachelswarnsnyt @darcypix
3. Brown Bohemians by @brownbohemians
4. AFROSURF by @mamiwatasurf @penguinrandomhouse
5. Young, Gifted & Black- a new generation of artists @artbook
6. Separate Cinema @john_duke_kisch @reelartpress

More to come in Vol 3.
And Vol 1 was cookbooks- link in stories if you missed it.

It’s all still a work in progress. Fully personalizing a space takes years. But sometimes it hits me that not too long ago, we went on a drive North, seeking refuge in the Hudson Valley area, scouring land listings in the Catskills, Woodstock and even more places North, East and West of this.

And then one day we found a nice little patch, 4 acres to call our own. And from that slice of undeveloped land, we now have that refuge. Crazy what’s possible.

And many thanks to @arhaus for seriously helping us in our journey to make this space feel like Our House. Head to my stories for links to #myarhaus faves from the crafted in Mexico stone lamp to the oak wood writing desk to the Romanian oak dining table and so much more. Not taking any of it for granted.

43 year old me is becoming my best version of me.

It’s been a tough few, and the beauty of getting older is learning how to better handle things. Anyways- I know dressing up can seem frivolous and so unimportant but sometimes it really lifts your mood and your energy. That’s it.
