10 home essentials. 0 regrets. (Which is a better record than I've had in most other areas of my life.) Plus a word on Challengers! And a request for you!
I love all of these, but heads up that Young Living is an MLM, which is an exploitative business model. There are so many other great essential oil brands out there that work just as great!
Love by Staub Dutch Oven but I think I prefer my Lodge fry pan over the Staub one. My YCOHO are East Fork Everyday Bowls (the perfect bowl/plate hybrid) and the bitty bowls for tiny snacking and hosting.
Love this round-up! Thanks, H! 2 ideas for your future take on … (1) area rugs (hard to research, I realize! yours are all so lovely.) (2) what you do with clothes / household items when you’re done with them … recycle / up cycle / give away / re-sell / consign, etc etc! thanks!
Area rugs: I tend to like vintage, and Deb from DL Rhein sourced all of ours: https://www.dlrhein.com/ As for clothes, it's all over the place. Work stuff I donate to Dress for Success. I'm in a private Facebook group that is local and I sell/giveaway things there too, esp kid stuff that's barely used. Other kid stuff goes to Baby2Baby.
Kitchen towels from Geometry! Hundreds of prints/colors and super absorbent. When they look a little too worn for the kitchen I repurpose them to house cleaning task. They also make great gifts! https://www.geometry.house/collections/all-kitchen-tea-towel
Team Staub here - I know I don’t want to maintain cast iron and feel zero shame. We own the 4 qt (?) Dutch oven - it’s a work horse and lives on top of the stove year round
Sometimes I think I still have some lingering 90s/hipster early aughts "sellout" issues. Like: By not doing it the hardest, most "authentic" way, I'm less than, in some way. It's silly, I know.
Ok, I ordered the Wild Herb Tonic reed diffuser and it came at the perfect time, just when I returned home after a week away and realized that my apartment just smelled like my dogs even though they’d been gone for a week too. After opening up the reed diffuser, my apartment smells clean and fresh without being overpowering!! This might be my new hero home scent!!
Desperately need a replacement for my (warning, unpopular opinion) Caraway pans, . which are, unfortunately, the worst! And I Need new pans to motivate my cooking post baby😂🙄I hate cast iron care as well….perhaps staub it is:))
I just got the new Our Place non-stick and I'm really liking it. The bottom has an almost mesh-like design, so it's not smooth smooth, but it works really well.
Can I ask a genuine (probably stupid) question? I know what you mean about not wanting to see the dirty water of flowers in a vase, but how do you tell when the water is out? Otherwise…? I don’t have the time to keep peering into my vases😂
Have had this in my last two homes and it’s awesome!

Hi Hillary! Love your “You Can Only Have Ones!” My recommendation for outdoor furniture is don’t skimp! Depending where you live it can get a lot of wear and tear being exposed to the elements, so you want furniture that holds up, is easy to care for and is from a company that stands by its merchandise if there is a problem (which I kind of feel is inevitable when something lives outdoors). Our furniture is from Gloster https://www.gloster.com/en-us/ Highly recommend! 😃

Oh no! Thank you for letting us know.

Bowl/plate hybrids are so key! Thank you for the suggestion!
East Fork Pottery is lovely! I will forever regret not buying the Everyday Bowls in Rococo Pink.

The ove glove. Not cute but one of my can’t live without kitchen tools. It’s shocking how much better having five finger dexterity is!
Ohhhhh I didn't know about this!
You simply must. There will be a “before ove glove” and an “after ove glove” time in your life.
YCOHO Cookie Sheet: T-Fal Airbake aluminum - makes burnt cookies *almost* a thing of the past. If you bake a lot f cookies, these are essential.
Ordering one of these IMMEDIATELY
LOVE
Agree on the great jones losing their luster. I have their cookie sheets and while I love the colors, they have not held up well over time.

Oh this is so up my alley: might I trumpet the wonders of my YCOHO tablecloth/napkin source https://kipandco.com.au/collections/table-linen/products/the-vine-linen-tablecloth# is my current Kip & Co fave. Vases I adore vintage pitchers or the wonderful resin quirkiness of Dinosaur Designs, another Australian brand. https://www.dinosaurdesigns.com.au/collections/vases
So many amazing prints! I feel like my Mom will love the water lily one, and I like that retro Bliss Floral! Thank you!
When you start you outdoor furniture research, be sure to check out Outer. We are so in love with our furniture from them!
Thank you! I feel so overwhelmed by and don't know where to start. This is much appreciated.

I’d love to know about a dustpan and brush/broom that will pick up all the crumbs in one or at least two sweeps. Thanks!
Oh I've got one, hang on!
