As we settle into the second half of summer, we're embracing the art of elevating the everyday. This month, we're drawn to beautiful apothecary pieces that bring a refined, spa-like feel to daily rituals, transforming even the simplest moments at home. We're also loving the softness of mesh, layered over lighter textiles to add subtle texture and depth to our ensembles. And finally, we're gravitating toward vintage pieces that become the heart of the home—from timeless coffee tables that gather family and friends to styling them with collected vases, well-loved books, and glowing candles.

July is made for long days by the water, gathering with friends, and embracing the slower pace of summer. This month, we're inspired by timeless lake cottages, New England charm, and the effortless details that make a home feel welcoming—from weathered textures and woven accents to classic Americana touches and rich pops of red that bring warmth and nostalgia. We're also leaning into the creativity of tile, one of the most impactful ways to add character to a space. Whether it's experimenting with scale, pattern, color, or handcrafted finishes, tile offers endless opportunities to create a design that feels layered, intentional, and uniquely your own.

Welcome to the summer edition of our seasonal series. Before the heat of the season fully takes over and our calendars fill up with travel, we are taking a moment to ground our routines and intentionally curate our surroundings. From the ultimate poolside setup to effortless on-the-go essentials, Ella and Ashley are sharing the thoughtful design details, clean beauty staples, and home pieces they are reaching for right now.

This June, we are grounding our summer routines in high-quality materials and intentional self care before the busy travel season takes over. 

As we enter May, we are inspired by getting outside, slowing down, and small details that make our outfits and decor pieces pop.

April has arrived, and we're fully embracing this transitional month. With inspiration drawn from frosted glass, heirloom pieces, and ambient lighting, we're ready for cozy rainy days and the exciting start of a new season.

With the welcome of longer days and the official kick-off of Spring, March is a favorite month for us. There is a sense of awakening as we let the cool breeze through our windows and dust off our patios in prep for al fresco season. Even blooms in nature are beckoning a resurgence as they start to peek through the ground and emerge on branches. 

There’s something powerful about the little things. The thoughtfully chosen objects, the small indulgences, the everyday essentials that quietly shape how we move through our days. With spring around the corner, we’re leaning into pieces that help romanticize daily life. From skincare upgrades that elevate your self-care ritual, to activewear that inspires a fresh start, to that home item you’ve been eyeing (and finally decided is worth it), these are the small-but-mighty favorites that have brought us joy lately.

For many, January signals fresh goals and a sprint out of the gate. For us, February is when the real motivation settles in. This month, we’re leaning into chic fashion, elevated design, and a gentle invitation to slow down.

November slipped away in long dinners around the table with friends and family. Now, as we step into December—the final month of the year—we’re seeking comfort in the cozy stretch of the season, even with holiday to-dos piling up and the cold settling in.

This month’s inspiration is drawn from the softness of pewter, the art of romanticizing everyday moments, and the charm of an autumn fête.

Historic Wynnewood Reveal

This month’s edit is a celebration of nostalgia, function, and timeless strength. We’re embracing the charm of open pantry design. Spaces that feel both practical and styled, where everyday essentials double as décor.

September always feels like a turning point, the air shifts, routines settle in, and inspiration takes on a new edge.

This August, we’re inspired by butter yellow, rustic sophistication, and the ease of a quiet dip in the pool.

This month’s edit is all about contrast and balance: the softness of the coast, the bold hit of Cherry on Top, and the subtle shine of brushed metals.

This May, our inspiration comes from the feminine elements of lace, the art of landscaping, and the quiet strength of Colonial Revival design.

April has arrived, and we're fully embracing this transitional month. With inspiration drawn from blues, the timeless fisherman aesthetic, and organic glassware, we're ready for cozy rainy days and the exciting start of hosting season. 

March is like a breath of fresh air, as the world around us thaws and bursts into bloom. This month, we’re drawing inspiration from three key themes: bas relief, intentional collecting, and florals.

Teachings and Traditions Renovation Reveal

This month, we’re reconnecting with our roots by embracing sustainability and creating lasting memories. We're inspired by vintage pieces that anchor the heart of the home—our kitchens; cozy at-home cafes perfect for gathering with loved ones; and the timeless appeal of stainless steel, which resists fleeting trends. In a world that moves quickly, we're slowing down to curate spaces filled with pieces that take time to find and appreciate.
