The Vibe Five: Maroon, Linen, Wildflower Pumpkins, Over-the-Knee Boots, and Holiday House

mood board no. 002 for October

One // Maroon

There’s something about Taylor Swift’s Maroon that has me listening to it on repeat (she’s a wordsmith!), and now maroon is having a moment in my wardrobe and in my house. Bonus is that I’m apparently also color-matching some of the native plants on our property.

Two // Linen

We’re in the process of updating our master bedroom so it feels more like a retreat and less like an afterthought. We’ve upgraded our bed linens to, well, linen, which feels both luxe and lived-in.

Three // Wildflowers

After securing multiple bids for landscape design for the residential part of Hope Ranch (more on this in a future post), we’re finally in the preliminary stages of the project. Somewhere on the property, I want to incorporate a zone for wildflowers, so I can do fall crafts like this:

Four // Facebook Finds

Hand-me-downs, thrifted treasures, and Facebook finds are a few of my favorite things, and my local mom-to-mom sales and buy-nothing groups don’t disappoint. Given how easy it is to buy new things, I feel like a rebel whenever I find cute things used and/or highly discounted.

Five // Dark House by House Beautiful

True crime meets interior design? I’m in. But it’s the Holiday House episode that hooked me. Alyssa, a House Beautiful editor, breaks down T. Swift’s “The Last Great American Dynasty” track line by line, and it’s fascinating. The perfect October listen.
