Weekly Roundup

Lauren’s bathroom design is jaw-dropping. Click through and look at the other angles.

The Pasadena Bungalow Heaven Home Tour is virtual this year so you can spy on the interiors of 7 historic bungalows from the comfort of your own home. Join me and get tickets here.

I love a good simulation and am a fan of herd immunity. The two combine here. Plus, the diagrams remind me of really great hexagon tile patterns, no?

Alexis’s foraging and environmental science videos are the best.

How’s your indoor air quality?

I know, I know. I should have had this cheap but life-saving safety gizmo in my car a decade ago. But I finally got a few!

Jenna did a major overhaul of her closet by customizing IKEA wardrobes and it’s a stunner.

We’re due to have our house repainted and I’m deep into the research about how to safely paint a house with peeling lead paint. I promise to do a post once I figure it out and get the project done! My challenge is every painter and even the lead remediation companies don’t seem to be taking the lead abatement seriously enough. Has anyone else run into this? What lead safety features did you or your crew take for a super safe paint project?

Mosquito season is approaching. Are you ready?

I was in need of a new sun hat so I ordered this one. It’s simple, cute but not overstyled, and it has a strap to prevent the wind from stealing it. Summertime, here I come!

I had two clothes drying racks and they both essentially deteriorated. I found one in a neighbor’s trash pile, so I guess I should be glad I extended its life as long as I did. I upgraded to this one for more hangability (is that a word?) and for more longevity as this one shouldn’t fall apart when it hangs out in the elements.

My favorite outdoor activity.
