Hi, I’M MEG.

I live in West Hartford, CT with my husband Chris and our baby girl Nell. We love classic American style and bickering about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher. Glad you stopped by!

Serena & Lily Thank You Sale

Serena & Lily Thank You Sale

Our office got a major face last week with this denim rug from Serena and Lily. We’ve tried a few options in this space, including a dark vintage kilim that was too much with our navy paint, and most recently this braided jute that is on it’s last legs and is too narrow for the space. The texture and muted blues of the Ryder rug really bring the room the together! It’s also incredibly zen on your feet and has made the space more comfortable as my work-from-home, burning-the-midnight-slash-five-am-oil hub.

Our rug is currently 25% off with code THANKFUL as part of Serena & Lily’s Thank You Sale - it’s their BIGGEST sale of the year and only happens once a year! It’s no secret that Serena & Lily is my favorite homeware brand and many of their pieces have created the foundation of our home design. We’re focused on building an intentionally comfortable home vs. perfectly curated and S&L pieces perfectly fit that polished but cozy aesthetic. I’ve linked to several of our favorites below but also wanted to call out a few specifics:

  • We’ve recently replaced almost all of our flush mounts with these nautical-inspired beauties in polished nickle

  • Nell called dibs on this teak stool months ago and sits on it every day for snack time and to watch me cook at the counter. It would make a sweet and thoughtful gift that any toddler will enjoy for years to come

  • We swear by these crib sheets, all of Nell’s are almost two years old and have washed and worn beautifully

  • This full-length mirror made from recycled teak branches was in our guest room but we loved it so much we moved it into our master - love it’s full length functionality without the heaviness of a typical large mirror

  • We are having our cabinets painted in the spring and plan to install the small version of the Whitman Pendant over the sink to add some visual interest and filtered light. Lighting rarely goes on sale, it’s a great time to splurge on these quality pieces

  • Similarly, we’re hoping to add these sconces to each side of our master bed after take the plunge and order a new one

  • We chose this quilt in pale pink for our guest room since she loves her mini version so much and plan to transition it to Nell’s Big Girl Room in the next few years

  • This throw is super soft, we have it in light grey and plan to give it as a gift this year

  • It’s not a super sexy buy, but these pillow inserts are the only ones we buy and both our family and our guests understand why - they are hypoallergenic and so comfortable

  • Lastly our contractor is coming to finish our breakfast bar in early December and it’s going to make such a difference in showing off our favorite Riviera stools

All of my picks are below - use code THANKFUL for 25% off site wide from now until 12/3. Not applicable on sale items, art, gift certificates, or the limited edition C7 bicycle.

Thank you to Serena & Lily for providing store credit in exchange for this post and for previously providing the Ryder denim rug gratis.
