Friday Four

Well, this week went by fast! (I’m definitely not complaining.) The weather in Boston has been weird, going from the 40s one night to almost 80 on Wednesday, so I feel completely thrown off. I turned over my closet this past Monday, so obviously that meant we needed to go back to short dresses and Jacks. I’m looking forward to this weekend, with lots of family time, alongside a party to warm our friends’ new home.

For your Friday Four today…

1. I’m always looking for a great DIY project. This board is where I keep all of my favorites that I want to (someday) try out.

2. Interesting article on how you make decisions and what that means about your happiness. Are you a maximizer or a satisficer?

3. I’ve been stumped by this in the past based on how much furniture I have or which room it is (living room vs. bedroom), but finally:  A handy post on how to choose the right size rug for your room.

4. A berry lipstick that looks good on everyone? Sounds good to me!

Happy weekend, everyone!
