The Best Of September 2024

Can you believe that September has already come and gone? This time of year is my absolute favorite and we've been busy finishing up house projects (the mudroom is officially checked off the 2024 project list!) and launching two new product lines! It was such a surreal moment to see our wallpaper designs on the shelves at Lowes and getting to see them in your homes, it's just the most rewarding feeling. We did a little bit of traveling this month when we took our girls to Disney World but mostly the month of September was spent at home, soaking up every minute of the change of seasons and getting our house ready for fall.

Not trying to be dramatic but I'm freaking out over the price I just found for The Frame TV...

Here are twelve more things that won me over this month:

1. Monogram Waterproof Doormat: We tested 10 different waterproof mats this month and this one from Pottery Barn took the prize for most aesthetic (and functional!).
2. KitchenAid Design Series Mixer: I don't think this mixer could be any more me... the moody green! The wood bowl! A statement piece for the kitchen if I've ever seen one.
3. 18k Gold Bezel Chain: I knew I needed this as soon as I saw it. I love a dainty gold chain for everyday wear, it's a staple piece of any wardrobe and this one is sure to last.
4. Vanilla Skin Perfume: I picked this up at Sephora the other day and I can't get enough. A vanilla scent that's not too sweet and has some musky/spicy notes? Yes, please.
5. CLJ x Poppy & Pout Lip Balm Trio: We launched our newest product line this month - a set of three lip balms inspired by houses we've loved and with the flavors of Chris's favorite desserts (recipe cards included with the set!). I'm stocking up to give as gifts over the holidays!
6. Brass Wall Bell: Chris and I agree that the dinner bell is one of the best things in our house, it's a guaranteed way to get our girls' attention no matter where they are in the house! The etched details on this one and the bow make it even more special.
7. Savoy Dining Chair: We swapped our vintage dining chairs for these and I cannot get over how luxurious our dining room feels now. I'm planning a dinner party ASAP.
8. Toile Duvet Set: I ordered these for Faye's room (we used the same print in blue for Polly's room in Idaho once upon a time) and I'll never stop choosing toile.
9. Half-Crew Throwback Sock: I've been a huge fan of Alo socks for a while now but I recently discovered this color and my workout outfits just feel that much more me.
10. Francis Beige/Charcoal Area Rug: We added this rug to the dining room (I usually go no-rug in there during the summer!) and the checkerboard pattern is the perfect complement to any room.
11. Tiered Pedestal: A prettier fruit bowl does not exist. Bought this for the kitchen!
12. Oil Cruet: I love the idea of having a pretty container of olive oil sitting out on the kitchen counter or even on the table during a dinner party. The vintage details on this one have my heart and it comes in multiple colors!
