Vintage Home Finds, Vol. 7

Well, folks, she’s done it again. I get so excited to edit this post as it’s incredibly fun to see what Carly finds each month. This month’s finds are things I never knew I needed.

Weekend Reading, 9.13.25

Lots of book lists this week (including the long list for the National Book Award). What luxury means today, a few teensy (but gorgeous spaces), a dreamy restored Italian palace! All about the EU gel polish ban (I learned a lot from this), Colleen Hoover’s new thriller, what workout to do when you’ve gotten a bad night’s sleep. The personal curriculum trend (not gonna lie, I love this), interviews with Michelle Monaghan and Brene Brown and so much more. I hope you enjoy the list!
