Happy Sunday, everyone. The EHD just returned from another amazing company retreat where we discussed, brainstormed, projected, and, of course, created vision boards (an activity we missed out on last time:)) We plan to write a detailed post about it soon. In the meantime…links?
This week’s feature isn’t a traditional house tour, but it’s an article from Architectural Digest. They recently unveiled their New American Voices 2025, showcasing incredible talent. We’re always inspired by discovering new artists and designers. Take a look, learn about some fresh faces, and let’s get creatively inspired together:)
From Emily: Discover very affordable “vintage art” without the hassle of hunting. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this painting at a friend’s house – perfect colors, lovely texture, and spot-on framing. She mentioned it was from Target, and I was shocked! I also found a few more pieces that are incredibly convincing. While I’ll always have a soft spot for vintage, these Hearth and Hand pieces are beautifully crafted, timeless, and feature stunning colors.
From Gretchen: I’ve been a fan of the BAGGU crescent bag for a while, and now I’ve added two more to my collection. They make fantastic bags! The first one I wanted to share is already sold out in the blue/green checkered print I got, but I found it at an awesome Portland store called Cargo. I also picked up this incredible carry-on bag in ‘Mahogany’ from Ban.do’s website. It’s beautiful, easy to use, and the plushy straps make carrying it a breeze even when it’s packed full.
From Marlee: I’ve found my new makeup remover holy grail🙂 This makeup remover balm melts away my eye makeup effortlessly, leaving my skin moisturized and soft. It contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin C for extra benefits. I’ve tried similar products, but this one is truly the best!
From Arlyn: Buying jewelry online can be tricky, but I took a chance on a delicate mirror chain necklace and matching bracelet from Baby Gold, a local LA company. The pieces are stunning, and I’ve received compliments on them. If you appreciate compliments too, these are perfect additions to your holiday wishlist:)
From Mallory: I received these fun coupe glasses as a gift, and I adore them. They add a touch of fun to my cocktails and sparkling wine. If you’re looking for a gift idea or new glassware, these are absolutely adorable!
From Jess: After hearing rave reviews from my cousin, I’m considering switching from my Intuition razor to this shaving bar from MegaBabe. She swears by it, praising its silky feel and effectiveness. It might just be the product to revolutionize my shaving routine!
From Caitlin: As a resident of LA’s vibrant Koreatown, I have access to amazing late-night Korean beauty shops. One of my recent finds is an awesome Korean oil cleanser that has elevated my skincare routine. If you’re in LA, explore the neighborhood for unique small businesses. If not, you can still grab this gem at your local Ulta:)
Thank you for joining us today, and stay tuned for a River House reveal tomorrow! xx
