Happy Sunday y’all! Em and Mal headed to NYC this week to chat about the future of AI and content creation. She’s planning to write a whole post about it because it’s all pretty wild. Otherwise, the art barn mural is looking SO GOOD and we can’t wait to show you. But don’t worry we have another River House reveal tomorrow which is also so exciting! Until then let’s get to this week’s links:)
This week’s house tour is the home of Clare Vivier (the founder of one of EHD’s favorite fashion brands, Clare V.!) and it is SO charming!! Her and her family have actually already lived in their 1905 Craftsman home for 23 years. While their home has gone through a few different phases, Clare and her husband are now empty nesters so this is their most recent refresh and boy is it speculator! See all the photos here and we’ll let Caitlin talk about the second reason this tour is VERY exciting. Also, can we note that Arlyn called this trend THE DAY BEFORE this tour came out:)
From Emily: Two of my favorite brands (Schoolhouse and Clare V) launched a collab that is Portland meets Paris (I’m in). Awesome Trays, rugs, and accessories in that slightly irreverent whimsical style. Three cheers for this one!
Schoolhouse x Clare V.® Marc Striped Sofa | Schoolhouse x Clare V.® Fernand Circle Mirror | Schoolhouse x Clare V.® Sonia Rectangle Lacquer Tray
More Love From Caitlin: The entire Schoolhouse x Clare V. collab is TO DIE FOR, but I am particularly charmed by these chunky, glossy catch-alls. As Den and I work to combine our styles (catch up on the beginning of that design merger process here, ICYMI), we’ve officially landed on a a bright, happy, loosely 1970s modernist-inspired aesthetic. It’s still a bit funky and whimsical, but in a cleaner, punchier way – prepare yourself for lots of play with shapes, lines, angles, and finishes. These vessels will be right at home in our new entry setup – I can’t wait to show you! (PS. Semi-related, but I’m too excited not to share: we just got a shipping notification for our new sectional, upholstered in a beautiful jade velvet. Anyone want a sneak peek?!)
From Mallory: I just celebrated another bday and every year we make my favorite clam pasta!! It’s so easy, delicious and it’s also Alison Roman’s favorite pasta so there are TWO people telling you it’s very good!! Also, hot tip I always use bucatini instead of spaghetti because it’s the best noodle.
From Gretchen: I’m headed to a music festival this weekend and SO EXCITED! This isn’t my first multi-day music rodeo, so by now I have my packing list pretty dialed. I like to dress up in fun outfits: bright colors, playful patterns, maybe a silly hat and some wild sunglasses. But ultimately I’m a practical girl, and comfort is key. I’ll be rocking pants, not pasties–no hate to those who choose otherwise! On the outfit front, I’m pretty covered with a treasure trove of thrifted leopard pants and tie-dye tops. But colorful shoes I have not. That is until I popped over to Target (are we surprised?) and found these fun and COMFY platform sandals. They are perfectly practical for all the walking I’ll be doing on festival grounds, not to mention easy to clean, but I love that buttery yellow color! They’ll add the perfect pop to my outfits.
From Arlyn: I’ve entered into the part of parenthood that has transitioned from “gotta just keep this baby alive” to “how do I make sure not to totally screw up this kid?” We are in a time of information, for better or for worse; meaning, there is a resource for anyone at any stage of their life with whatever hurdles they have to jump. It can honestly feel incredibly overwhelming to silence the noise and find something you really connect with and trust. Two accounts I’ve really emotionally bonded with as of late are 1,000 Hours Outside and Nurtured First. The first is all about reclaiming childhood and building connection with families in a digital age, and the latter is about nurture-first parenting. It’s hard to remember all the things all the time in every situation, but we’re doing the best we can with what we have, and these two sources give me SO much. Check them out if you’re a parent to young or teenage kids!
From Jess: In line, checking out at Sephora, I grabbed the Charlotte Tilbury Mini Pillow Talk Lipstick & Liner Set in nude pink (there are a few tone options). I had heard SO much about this set that I decided to give it a try and I have to say it’s pretty good y’all. Just enough to give you some solid “oomph” but not so much that you don’t look like yourself. Big fan if anyone else needed yet another rave review:)
Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow for the reveal!!! xx
