CTL Weekly 09.06

Artist and designer Josh Young’s beautiful new book showed up on my porch this week like the present it was. Josh is an artist and designer with an incredible IG account (one of my very faves) and Artful Home showcases Josh and his husband’s two homes, a townhouse in D.C. and a Virginia country house that hasn’t been shared publicly before now. I look forward to many hours studying these photos. I did a little flipthrough of the book on Instagram if you’d like to see.






Here’s more of what I saved to share with you this week:
Jennifer Garner gives a video tour of her L.A. home. It’s gorgeous, of course, but the way she delights in it is the real reason to watch.
I thought I knew everything about Ina Garten because I’m such a fan, but there were some surprises in this article.
The most charming independent bookshops in London. These will make you want to book a trip.
Watch a little alcove become a home library nook. So sweet!
Top 11 places to read, ranked. This made me laugh and I completely agree with #1!
A designer turns four little cottages on Lake Michigan into vacation rentals.
11 of the best shows to watch this September. Tom and I have several of these on our list.
Every year at this time I remind people about Jillian’s pumpkin bars, a reader’s recipe that has become a family favorite for us.
I hope you have a great weekend!


I always enjoy your posts, but this one was an especially sweet treat. First, I’m adding Josh Young’s book to my Amazon wish list. I am also one of his IG flowers and this book is just too yummy. What a talent! I pretty much live and entertain by Ina Garten’s cookbooks, and I’m really looking forward to her memoir. The New Yorker interview was fascinating! Finally, Jennifer Garner’s home is a little modern for my taste, but her delightful tour is unforgettable! Thanks for all your great likes!
Thanks for another great Friday post, Julie! I enjoyed JG’s home tour. She’s so “real” and down to earth. Her Pretend Cooking Show episodes are fun, too. Nice to know your family’s still enjoying the pumpkins bars! Jillian
When I saw JG’s home tour earlier in the week, I wondered if it caught your eye. She’s as real as it gets for Hollyweird. Thank goodness!
Thanks for the weekly shares. I always look forward to these.
Hi Julie… Lots of fun stuff!! That book looks gorgeous. I am a huge fan of JG’s. I am now going to take a peek at her home thanks to you! Enjoy your weekend.
