Hello, friends! I wanted to pop in to say hi and wish a happy Fourth of July and Independence Day to my American readers.
We had company visiting recently — and I’m loving our freshly refreshed guest room — so we’ve been spending time together relaxing on the patio and wandering around town, enjoying perfect summer weather here in Seattle.

It has been nice to take a few days off, but I always miss chatting here when I’m away. I’m excited to get back and share more—there are several fun things I can’t wait to tell you about.
One update I’m thrilled about: our rug designs for the Annie Selke Dash & Albert rug competition. Designing a rug turned out to be trickier than I expected, but your ideas in the comments were so helpful and inspiring.
I didn’t have time to show all my options before the submission deadline, but I’m eager to reveal the designs you’ll be able to vote on this week (June 6). Stay tuned!
If you’re in a shopping mood, below I’ve listed some holiday deals and a few favorite places to find home items—great picks if you’re hunting for summer discounts.
Over the weekend I picked up a new outdoor umbrella and a frame for the backyard. Summer sales make it a perfect time to grab fun outdoor pieces for less.
