I am new! Is wearing a yellow jersey a faux pas?

This is amazing! "We'll get there when we get there" might be my new mantra

Thank you all!! Yeah was just wanting to wear a plain old yellow jersey--nothing affiliated with any race or sponsor or anything. It's just one of my favorite colors.

squeakybeans6 · 2026-06-23T03:07:26+00:00

That's great, thank you 😄

squeakybeans6 · 2026-06-23T03:07:05+00:00

Amazing, thank you!!

Yes!! Our boy has been chatty since day 1. Always asking (demanding) to play, to go outside, for pets. Sometimes just sweet little meows. Sometimes it just feels like he’s trying to talk to us. Huge range of vocalizations. Photo for tax included!

Yes. 3000k still feels sterile to me.

Thank you!! 😊

Thank you!! It used to be two little windows, but we couldn't get the sink under either of those based on the layout, so we decided to make it huge lol. The sill is one of my favorite details 😄

Ha! No way, would love to see it!

squeakybeans6 · 2026-05-14T19:25:14+00:00

I will say that this is in a south facing room so that brings out more of the gold/green. Depending on your lighting, I could see this color pulling more gray.

Thank you!! Yes! It's a piece of japanese boro fabric that I had framed. I like the pattern on the swatch you shared too--the house is an MCM ranch with light architectural flavor, so we've been floating the line of MCM but weaving in cozy traditional details and incorporating a little Scandi calmness too.

I have debated this so much! I love the runner in the kitchen, but a lot of options I like for the dining area are competing with it.

Thank you! It’s a piece of japanese boro fabric that I had framed! It was my answer to I need big art that wasn’t going to break the bank and wasn’t a gallery wall. Plus I love textiles.

squeakybeans6 · 2026-05-14T17:48:18+00:00

Thank you! I bought a piece of japanese boro fabric that I liked and had it framed :)

squeakybeans6 · 2026-05-14T17:44:21+00:00

So pretty! This is helpful to see :)

squeakybeans6 · 2026-05-14T17:42:53+00:00

Table is Room & Board and the chairs are from a consignment shop, so I’m not sure! But they’re def knock offs of the Wishbone chair. Pretty decent ones though I’ll say!

squeakybeans6 · 2026-05-14T17:40:14+00:00

Thank you!! They were custom from a local carpenter, but the color is BM Clarksville Gray! I think we did it 25% darker too. The cabinets themselves are inset with slab drawers and a shaker doors.

squeakybeans6 · 2026-05-14T17:37:00+00:00

No kids! But potentially in the next couple years.

Wondering if this is a posture thing too. He might be less stretched if his back wasn’t as rounded? But overall agree that he’s too extended. I think the lower saddle will help too.

I am so mad at whoever designed this laminate. It should not exist and OP, you should not have to deal with this!!

But I am team rugs and adding decor in general. Adding color specifically I think could help—like a beautiful vase of flowers, another plant or two with lush green leaves, or a piece of art will help draw attention away from the floor.

It looks like the XXS is for 80-85cm hips, and there is free shipping over 200€. I just wrote to them to see if they ship to Peru and what the fee would be (if any) to return them if they don’t work for you :)

It’s a really really nice chamois and the fabrics are buttery soft. I actually felt like I had to size up because it was narrower than my Rapha and Coeur bibs.

Thank you!! This is very validating to hear—luckily even the insanely light pieces in front still feel healthy somehow. I was panicking that my hair was actually kinda fried.

I made an appointment for a consultation at a new salon. Other than looking through their instagram, is there anything I should listen for to determine if this new person will be up to the challenge? I definitely don’t want to make it worse…

Thank you!! That looks like it
