Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

I love your podcast so much!!! The 3 of you have such an amazingly funny connection. I just wish I could access all the American shops you talk about. I want to see what Sears is like do I’m in on the joke. Anyway please don’t stop, we Aussies love you guys!!
Guys, oh my goodness. I’m in flight on my way to wait for it… Idaho(!) for a work project and literally had to turn the podcast off when I was only 5min in because I was laughing too loudly. Thanks for the laughs, I can’t wait to finish the episode when I’m in a slightly less compact and crowded place :)
Hahaha!
Re: Email salutations… In a back and forth, one on one conversation, dropping them makes sense. But tone is a legitimate concern in email conversations so I would be thoughtful before dispensing with them in other situations. Especially if you’re making a request or delivering some kind of negative feedback, you want to make sure your tone doesn’t come across as barking at someone. Leaving out the niceties could come across that way, especially if everyone doesn’t know each other well. Also, if you commonly send emails with a lot of people copied, you should address your message to ether the group at large or the specific person who needs to take action on your message. It’s actually bad email etiquette to send a non actionable email, which would include sending a message to a group without identifying the person you are actually expecting to respond.
Not saying any of this is the best way for things to be, but these are the realities of business emails. How you deliver a message does realistically affect how you other people will respond. People are not robots.
In reference to lawsuit waiting to happen link. That is why we have an umbrella insurance policy. You can’t be too cautious.
Target has a lot of Twin XL sheets, too! They’ll probably go on sale again after the new year since that’ll be the start of the spring semester. And Target is really stepping their game up in the design world lately; we were just there the other day and there were a lot of things that I would expect to see in like West Elm or C&B but with Target prices!
The reason I look forward to monday’s – your podcast!
Thank you!!
You guys never fail to make me giggle. PBTeen has a great selection of twinXL sheets.
I love their gold dots and black hearts, but I was curious how a sheet could be Twin/TwinXL? How can it fit both? If my Sears sheets don’t look right (hahaha), I’m getting them though!
I bought sheets from PB teen for my daughters regular twin bed, they are just a little longer but so elasticized I can definitely see how it can be stretched. Super cute! good option for a 2nd set : )
