What’s New
- Here’s our post from 2012 about using a coupon to get a short landscaping consultation and what we learned from it. It was a 60-minute LivingSocial deal rather than Groupon.
Jonathan Adler Voicemail
- We did a longer interview with Jonathan Adler in 2013, which remains one of Sherry’s favorite phone calls. A transcript is also available on that post.
- Explore Jonathan Adler’s collection for decor and ceramic animals, and check out his retail locations, including our visit to his DC store.
- We also recommend his books; one of our favorites is mentioned in the episode notes.
Rug Realization
- See the “Evolution of a Bedroom” post we referenced to view the update in our daughter’s room and a photo-filled recap of how the space has evolved over three years.
What’s Not
- If you’re hunting for the New York City–inspired paint colors mentioned on the show, here are some of the names we referenced: Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Central Park, Brooklyn, Fifth Avenue, Tribeca, Astoria, Times Square, Empire State, Off Broadway, and Subway Tile.
- We also mentioned House Beautiful’s list of “The 7 Biggest Design Mistakes That Drive Designers Crazy.”
We’re Digging
- We highlighted some handy painting tools like a paint cup, a compact paint tray, and tray liners that make touch-ups and small projects easier.
- We also mentioned Turkish towels similar to ones we bought from West Elm; striped and fringed styles remain favorites for their look and absorbency.
