Cutest East Coast Towns and a Swedish Home: Friday Finds

We’re almost halfway through January! I’m already yearning for summer days but am trying to keep myself preoccupied with projects so I don’t feel blue. More than anything, I’m craving longer days. I miss seeing my house in daylight hours. I wake up when it’s dark, and the sun has already set when I leave work. Lucky for me, we’ve had a lot of cardinals at the feeder which keeps me hopeful for spring and the chirping of birds and the croaking of frogs.

Let’s started with today’s Friday Finds by touring a beautifully comfortable Swedish home where you’ll see a touch of William Morris wallpaper, which is my absolute favorite!

For those who love bold color, you’ll enjoy this lively kitchen makeover that will leave you smiling. The transformation is pretty amazing.

Looking for a winter getaway? See this list of cute, east coast towns you might like to visit during the frosty months. Let me know if you’ve visited any of them!

Last week we started doing a little renovation in our downstairs bathroom, but ran into a bit of a snafu with the plumbing, so everything’s on hold until that gets fixed. For now, I’ll enjoy looking at these fun, vintage bathrooms for more inspiration.

In case you missed it, I shared a serene coastal garden tour on my sister blog, Pond and Garden. Check it out and start dreaming about your own summer garden.

Have you heard of Hoppin’ John? It’s a southern dish that’s traditionally served on New Year’s Day for good luck. It was new to me so I tried the recipe and fell in love. It’s super healthy and extremely tasty. I’ll for sure be making it again. Give it a try!

Here’s looking forward to the weekend! We’ve been enjoy “balmy” weather with temperatures consistently in the upper 30s/lower 40s. I’m hoping to get outdoors this weekend for a couple of walks. Enjoy your Saturday and Sunday!
