[Friday Finds] Vol . 19:
New Friends, Stunning Photography, Best of Etsy, Khakis As Fashion, & Gold Details in Nurseries

Published on March 31, 2017

Well, hello. It’s Friday again! I apologize for the lack of Friday Finds last week- my parents are visiting from Toronto, it was March Break, and we were in sunny San Diego for a mini break. It was lovely, just like this week’s Finds. Let’s get started!

1. New Friends

There are times when you come across the loveliest people you could ever imagine meeting- this particular time on Instagram, of all places! Today I wanted to share an account I only recently started following but one that I absolutely adored from the get-go: @BeforeAndAgain_. Rida is mama to Dalia and Zora. Although she lives in industrial Birmingham, her Instagram account is full of rosy cheeks, beautiful morning light, wildflowers, and scenes of every day family life. I love how different it is from the perpetually sunny, and sometimes manic, up-and-at-em life we live in LA.

I also really love that out of all Instagram accounts I’ve come across, here is someone who is from a similar cultural background as I am, is also in a mixed-race marriage, and has such a creative spirit. Mostly though, it is Rida’s eye for capturing the magic in everyday moments that I’m drawn to. There’s a thoughtful quality to them that comes across as genuine and not contrived. If you’re up for daily whimsy and occasional goofy moments from a mama, you must follow BeforeAndAgain_!

2. Interior Design + Photography

I came across Jonas Ingerstedt’s work while I was researching a few new posts on Pinterest. If you love interior photography and great Scandinavian/mid-century modern style, this should be your go-to for any and all inspiration! Jonas’ portfolio features images shot for Elle Deco in Sweden, Italy and the UK, as well as the Kinfolk books. There is so much goodness here, I keep going back and marvelling at the shots and the rooms, and gathering so. much. inspiration.

3. Best of Etsy

Basically in love with both: This quote from Ernest Hemingway and the hand lettering from Oh My Deer.

Shop this and so many more pretty hand lettered prints from Oh My Deer!

4. The Khaki Revival

Have you read this Man Repeller article on one of this year’s biggest trends, Khaki? Pandora Sykes is witty and I can completely appreciate her horror at the approach of utility-wear. It is definitely not a universally flattering trend although I disagree when she says it doesn’t suit her. I think she looks fab! But what do you think? Are you willing to try it or not at all? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

5. Flashback Friday

Since gold is still going strong in home decor, I thought today I would revisit this post I wrote two years ago on Gilded Details for Nurseries & Kid Spaces. ALTHOUGH! I will say that I strongly feel silver is about to make a comeback and I’ve spotted some amazing pieces on one of my recent runs to Target that I am so excited to share with you. I’ll be writing a blog post on this soon so stay tuned!

REMEMBER WHEN... // That time I designed a whole b REMEMBER WHEN... // That time I designed a whole bunch of free Printables to decorate your home with and put them up on the blog so you could download them? Yup. They’re still there! 😀 Happy Friday! #sofreshmyhome #freeprints
HOW IT STARTED // Light, bright, white, minimalist HOW IT STARTED // Light, bright, white, minimalist. I kind of miss those days but then again kind of not? I’ve embraced darker desaturated colours like our Navy blue accent wall downstairs and our green home office/guest room upstairs. ❤️ What’s your preference? Do you naturally veer towards colour? 🤔 #sofreshmyhome #navyblueandprettytoo
A IS FOR...? // Tell me what’s on your mind. I’ll go first: A is for Amazing. Because after almost a whole year of remote schooling, it looks like the kids might finally be going back after Spring break! Woo hoo! 💃🏻 #LAlife
WELL, FINALLY. // It’s February! Legit can’t b WELL, FINALLY. // It’s February! Legit can’t believe we made it through the longest January ever. 🙄 I SO wish I was sitting at this table with all of my favourite people right about now. Instead we’re in, well, I think we all know where we all are and have been since March 2020. Oy vey. 🤦🏻‍♀️ BUT it’s my birthday month and I think I’m finally ready to share everything that’s happened since last September including why I dropped out of the One Room Challenge. Stay tuned for that post. It seems like a season of change for so many of us. May Allah keep us all in His protection. 🙏🏼
VIGNETTE LOVE // Colour, texture, planty goodness VIGNETTE LOVE // Colour, texture, planty goodness plus beautiful art by my fave @atticapress. ❤️ Super into this vignette that I shot many moons ago and just came across again in my camera roll. It’s a good day when you discover photo treasures like these, don’t you think? 😍 #sofreshmyhome
DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and if I focus on Pippa, I can ignore the fact that the kids’ room hasn’t looked this tidy in weeks. Is it just me or is cleaning basically a waste of time during the holidays/pandemic?? 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️ It literally never stays clean! They’re home ALL the time. My mom is very proud of me right now, I’m sure. 😆 #sofreshmyhome
SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase to remember 2020 by it would be “Sharp contrasts”. We had our fair share of hard to believe moments and lots of jagged peaks and dips. BUT 2021 promises to be an entirely new chapter and I can’t wait to share everything with you soon! Happy New Year, friends! In the Year That Felt Like 10 Years, can you believe we finally made it to the end?? 😱🥳👏🏼#sofreshmyhome #greenrooms
WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall preten WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall pretend Andrew lounges on this work chair with a leopard print throw artfully draped across his legs. 🤣 But seriously tho, having this cabinet to style has been so much fun whenever our bedroom needs a little pick-me-up! #sofreshmyhome

FLASHBACK TO... // The days when the dining table FLASHBACK TO... // The days when the dining table was for actual eating and styling and not for remote schooling, bags of school supplies, and the occasional cat. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 How is your work/school-at-home space looking right now? #sofreshmyhome
