Summer Sponsor Lovin’
We know summer’s official start is still a few days away, but we’re getting a head start on the season by saying “thanks” to our always-supportive sponsors in our monthly shout-out post (after all, they make the other 40+ posts that we write each month possible). So feel free to take a peek at all they’ve got to offer… along with a few exclusive YHL discounts for you guys to cash in on.
The Inglenook Decor has set out to give you the right decor for your “urban cottage.” They’ve got tons of beautiful finds for your home, which we particularly enjoyed browsing by trend (they organize items it fun categories, like “Birds! Birds!” and “Glorious Crowns.”
Ruby Plaza may sound familiar if you happen to enjoy Ruby Lane (a virtual marketplace where individuals can sell vintage items, antiques, and collectibles). Well, Ruby Plaza is similar but you’ll find contemporary, new, and reproduced items for your home and you (i.e. jewelry) as well.
Shades of Light came through for us again when we bought one of their discounted shades (available at their sister shop, The Decorating Outlet) for the office project that we posted about earlier this week. A quick glance around their store or at their online catalog is sure to reveal a few items that could come through for you too.
The Tile Shop is a great place to visit for tiling inspiration (especially if you can’t hit up one of their stores in person). It’s also an awesome spot for tools, tips, and all the confidence you need to DIY a tile job yourself. Plus, don’t forget to grab 10% off when you use the code YHL10.
Z Gallerie was all about bringing the outdoors in last month, and now that summer’s around the corner they’re also about helping people enjoy the outdoors outdoors. Yep, they’ve got your patio covered with everything from furniture to accessories and umbrellas.
Design for Less might be more recognizable to you as The Glass Mosaic Outlet or The Natural Stone Outlet- but no matter what you call them they’re a perfect resource when it comes to filling your head with great color and material combinations that’ll guarantee a stunning look.
WallQuotes.com (aka Belvedere Designs) would be happy to help you fill that blank wall in your house. Whether you want a dose of motivation, inspiration, or just plain ol’ humor, they’ve got tons of pre-made quotes and they even let you design your own. Plus, you’ll snag 15% off of any order with the code YHL15.
Quirk is best described in a riddle: what do stamps of small buildings, pretty tumblers with waves on them and a banana ornament crafted by Jonathan Adler have in common? Not much, except they can all be found at Quirk online or here in Richmond on Broad Street.
Frame The Date takes the concept of remembering an anniversary, birthday, or other special moment (maybe the day you closed on your house?) and documenting it with style- combining graphic photos with custom wood frames to make those dates unforgettable.
Vol. 25 is another great spot for original and uber-sweet art for your home – whether you’re grabbing some prints, photoshop overlays, or any of the many items in their Zazzle show. Plus, now through Wednesday June 16th, it’s buy 2 get 1 free on all prints and overlay sets.
Smock Paper makes bamboo paper look darn good with their sophisticated and charming letterpress invites, stationery, and greeting cards. And the paper’s not the only thing that makes this company green. Head to their site to learn more (and fall in love with their amazing designs).
The Natural Sleep Store helps you rest easy, not just because they sell mattresses that are customizable to your body’s preference, but also because everything they sell helps keep your bedroom chemical free – like the Savvy Rest mattress we bought a while back.
Lisa Leonard Designs doesn’t just have your back for lady-themed holidays like Mother’s Day. With Father’s Day right around the corner you can score a masculine take on Lisa’s hand-crafted sterling silver jewelry with items like keychains or leather cuffs for him.
Etsy Kids is definitely ready for the summer season now that they’ve updated their curated collection of Etsy’s freshest finds for infants, toddlers, kids, and even moms. Heck, you might even catch a few items that can live in a “grown-ups only” house too.
Hoot Design Co. is home to a range of punchy designs – from prints and posters, to invites and greeting cards. They even have all ages covered, beginning with their signature Simply Baby poster, which is an eye-pleasing way to get the beans and beanettes of the worlds to learn those ABCs.
Heart & Stone is a great spot to find cutomized necklaces, rings, and charms – especially if you like ‘em with a splash of green. Yep, this silver is 100% recycled and all the work is done by hand. Not to mention that everyone can score 10% off with the code YHL10.
And our last big THANK YOU has to be directed at you guys. Thanks so much for dropping in to see what we’re up to over here at Casa Petersik. We wish you nothing but the most fantastic and DIY-filled weekend!

Oh, you guys and your sponsors section in the sidebar are no friend to me.
My days are now spent literally drooling over everything at Z Gallerie.
It’s like the mother ship is calling me home!
If only the US weren’t on the other side of the world…
I really like your sponsors’ products but I still find ackward to buy so far from home (Italy). ;-(
Hope someday you’ll consider featuring some window shopping on European on line shops.
Till then I’ll enjoy any and all eye candies!
Vol.25! I bought one of her pieces.. My first Etsy buy ever.. and she was awsome!! Love that you guys have such quality sponsers, I can trust them because you are behind them.
I love hearing about your sponsors, and it is dangerous to me! I want to buy everything up.
Hi used the 10% off coupon last week when we were retiling our shower surround. Shopping with them was a great experience and you saved me BIG BUCKS!! Thanks!
You guys really do have wonderful sponsors. I’m always amazed by the great, new products and services you’re able to share with us and even give away!
I just wanted to let you know that I included another one of your posts on my blog for today’s Friday Feature. You have such useful tips and I hope others will come and find you as a result. :)

Your sponsors totally rock – I love looking through their sites!
John – are you loving being a full time blogger? How is the transition going? Sherry – is it fun to have him home all the time? I’m sure Burger loves it. :)
Oh it’s so much fun to have “daddy” around to help with Clara and enjoy her funny antics all the time. And of course the icing on the cake is that he’s also helping me with YHL! We’re definitely enjoying the opportunity to work together!

I love all of your sponsors! I FINALLY got a job today after 8 months of searching, which means hubby and I will be able to move out of his parents house (whew)and start decorating our own home!
Just wanted to let you guys know that we bought a couch from Z Gallerie because of your site! We shopped around the city where we live and couldn’t find anything and Z Gallerie had just what we were looking for! We ended up getting the gray Alistar tufted sofa! And we love it! Thanks so much for your incredible site! And your baby girl is precious! So happy for you guys!
That’s awesome! So glad to hear that you’re loving your new sofa!

I love ZGallerie, and the only reason I found them is because of YHL! Thanks!
Sherry, did you end up getting a gift when Clara was born (Besides the obvious new baby of course!)?
Hey Andrea,
John keeps joking that he owes me a “slice gift” instead of a push gift but I’m perfectly happy with my new baby girl as my gift. She really is the most fun we’ve ever had.
