Happy first weekend of August! Hope you have something wonderful planned. Will involve watching the Olympics? I haven’t watched a single second of it yet so I’m hoping to squeeze some viewing in. Anyway! Here’s this week’s weekly six, starting from the top:

1 – This Strawberry-Balsamic Smash is calling my name.

2 – Loving this gallery wall and the symmetrical lamps and chairs of this office space.

3 – I’m still liking the looks of Moroccan poufs – how about you?

4 – I wish someone would make me this Cheese Souffle immediately!

5 – Here’s a fun DIY for the weekend – maybe with the Olympics in the background?

6 – How great are these rugs made of recycled marine rope?

Have a happy weekend!

A white headboard can really brighten up a bedroom, and adds texture when it is tufted as these two headboards above. I love tufted headboards as it is, but there’s something bright and fresh about them in white.

Yet, these two white tufted headboards have two very different looks. The first headboard is straight and simple, accessorized with white modern decor.

The second headboard is a bit more eclectic, with a unique shape that is complemented by Asian-inspired decor.

So, if you absolutely had to choose between these two white tufted headboards – which would you rather?

I am constantly on the hunt for a better way to store my jewelry. I’ve had DIY holders on my list forever and just haven’t gotten around to it, but, luckily I just stumbled across the Bling Box and I’m sold.

Made of recycled MDF, there are two color options available, with the option to change the aluminum front cover. Several hooks with adorable names are included for various types of jewelry – and there’s a mirror on the interior door! Ladies – this is a great thing. Guys – this is a great gift for your ladies!

What do you guys think of the Bling Box?

This past weekend was spent with my fiance and his family up in Lake George, NY. The view is unbelievable and the weather was absolutely gorgeous – my sunburned face can attest to that!

Anyway, while we were cruising on the jetskis checking out the gorgeous houses, I started thinking about my dream lake house and how it would be much more modern than a lot of the houses up there. While some of them are more contemporary, I think most of the houses up there are more traditional and mountain-looking. [If that makes sense!]

Like the modern lake houses above, I would want a lake house with lots of windows so that the spectacular view that comes with living on a lake could be seen from any room from any angle. I also love when the architecture provides plenty of sitting space for everyone’s viewing pleasure. There’s something wonderful about staring out onto a lake all day!

Do you ever dream about living on water? What would your dream house there look like?

My mom is a big fan of Barefoot Contessa and her crisp has always been one of my favorites. It’s the perfect dessert that can be made ahead of time and then thrown in the oven before serving.

The past few times I’ve been making the recipe, I’ve used Ina Garten’s recipe for Peach and Raspberry Crisp, but I don’t always use peaches and raspberries; I’ll switch out the raspberries for blueberries or blackberries. Whichever fruits you choose to use, this is definitely a recipe to keep on your radar!

Do you have a favorite crisp or crumble recipe?

Hello and happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend? I’ll be spending it with friends up in Lake George, NY – I can’t wait to ride around on the jetski and take in the amazing scenery.

As per usual – here’s this week’s Weekly Six!

1 – I’m craving a frittata – I better go make one that tastes as delicious this one looks!

2 – Love this fun and easy DIY to make uniquely tall taper candles.

3 – These colorful pillows inspire me to add a ton of bright ones to my own sofa.

4 – I’m not typically a fan of backpacks, but this modern design may change my opinion!

5 – How resourceful and stylish are these dual-purpose wine glasses?

6 – What are you looking forward to watch on the Olympics?
