Hey guys, happy Sunday!
This might be one of my favorites from the entire Fall Style Guide Series because you know I love home decor. Target just released a ton of new home items, and I've gotta say, it did not disappoint! I pulled my favorites into this board along with other interior items from around the web. ...
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale gets a lot of buzz for their clothing and beauty, but there's much to be said about the home department. If you're searching for home essentials like designer candles or Barefoot Dreams, now is the time to stock up. I always get the Diptyque Candle Set (they make great hostess gifts) and this year I was able to get my hands on the UGG Throw Blanket.
Did you see anything that caught your eye? xx Ashley ...
Building a home was one of the most rewarding (exhausting, but rewarding nonetheless) experiences, especially since we finished up in time to bring George home to it. But there's something really fun about having a fixer-upper or a home that just needs a good polish. I've lived in spaces like this before and even now I'm always thinking up little projects here and there. Whether it's with seasonal decor, a small painting project or throwing down a new rug, there are endless ways to spruce up a space without having to break out the sledgehammers. ...
If you're like me, iced coffee is a must this time of year. I could honestly drink it year-round, but during the summer it's truly the best treat.
I have 3 recipes that I have been rotating each week. Whether you like to go to Starbucks or make something at home, I have a recipe below that is ideal for iced coffee lovers. ...
Depending on where you live and your situation, you might be heading out this summer, but I think it's safe to say we'll all be spending more time at home than usual. We're so grateful to have our patio and small yard space to be able to enjoy time outside while still safe at home. It's just all about finding ways to make it feel vacation-like...and keeping a very active one-year-old busy.
If you're trying to survive a summer at home, here are some of our essentials. From fun activities for the adults and kids to this extra-large beach towel that we've been loving, I hope this list makes your summer even better. And if you have a little one, I can't recommend this play sink enough - it's George's absolute favorite and buys me at least 30 minutes!
Also, if you're in the market for Swimwear for yourself, I'm sharing several flattering picks + my tips on body confidence in tomorrow's newsletter. You can sign up for the list right here.

One of my favorite memories over the last year is photographing our home and sharing it piece by piece with all of you (check out our black and white office tour). This house was a major labor of love and all the praise we've received for it has blown me away! Of course I can't take all the credit because Ginger from Urbanology Designs is the true mastermind behind it. I'm excited to keep sharing more details, especially as I add small touches here and there to really make it feel like us. I've tried to document as much as I could with the #AshleyAtHome tag on Insta. ...
As most of you know, Austin and I built and designed the home (with lots of help, of course) that we live in. And while getting the perfect paint color, choosing fixtures, designing the outdoor patio space, etc were all important aspects of the home, one thing we wanted to keep in mind was the feel of the home. I love looking at interiors and architecture, but a lot of the time, the homes don't look liveable. They are gorgeous but not realistic, at least not for us. ...
There are a few questions that show up in my DMs over and over again, and one I've noticed lately is what are my favorite Etsy shops. I'm a big fan of Etsy because I think it's a great platform for people to discover small businesses that they probably wouldn't have otherwise. The best part is that you're usually getting something unique and handmade or at least made in small batches. So I hope this little mini-guide to some of my favorite Etsy shops is helpful and that you can find a few things that line up with your style. ...
I've been talking with many of you about ways to make special moments exciting during this time at home. This has been on my mind so much since George's first birthday is on Sunday. I asked you guys a few weeks ago to share any and all ideas for celebrating life events while quarantined. And oh my gosh, you all had a lot of clever and fun ideas. Here's how TTD FAM is celebrating special moments at home. ...
