**Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once, but every month on sponsor shout out day we double up. So we’ll be back in a few hours with a bathroom-related before and after.
It’s time for our monthly showing of thanks to our sponsors (the folks who help make the other 30+ posts happen). And since we’re still hanging on to the memory of our recent beach vacation, we pulled together items from each sponsor that reminded us of the sand, surf, and other sorts of summer fun (oh but we haven’t been gifted any of ‘em – here’s our no-swag policy). And as always, if you’re looking to save some cashola, don’t miss the round-up of special discounts at the bottom.

YES! Jonathan Adler!
Happy weekend :-)
Hey guys – just wanted to let you know that I just tried to use YHL10 on 1canoe2 and it said the code was expired! It’s always possible that I messed something up but just wanted to give you a heads up!
Thanks Brady! Off to check it out.

I tried to use the discount code at One Canoe Two but it said it is expired. :(
So sorry, we’re emailing them to see what’s up.
xo,

Love how you guys still post **Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once** When you post twice almost EVERY FRIDAY.
PS. It’s Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Fridaaayyy….oh sorry was that out loud? You’re welcome!
Other folks have said that but it’s an illusion! Haha. We always do just one post on Fridays except for sponsor shout out days (which happen just once a month). I promise :)

Went to use the one canoe two discount code and it says it is expired….boo. :o(
Sorry everyone! We’re on it! Will check back with more info as soon as we have it!

The One Canoe Two code says it’s expired – just a heads-up!
Thanks! We’re on it.

Love the prints from 1canoe2!! I just checked out and it says that your promo code is expired though. Just FYI.
Thanks ya’ll for all you do :)
Thanks for the tip! We’re emailing them to see what’s up.

I just tried the promotional code “YHL10” on One Canoe Two and it didn’t work. :'( Is it still valid?
We’ve emailed them, so we’ll update things as soon as we know!
xo,

Just a heads up: I tried to place an order from 1 Canoe 2 (love those state letterpress prints!) but it says the promo code is expired. :(
So sorry guys- we’ve emailed them and are waiting to hear back!
xo,
s
I could not possibly love those 1 Canoe 2 prints any more! I’m trying to buy one for each of the 4 states we’ve lived in, but it’s saying the discount code is expired! Any ideas?
LOVE your round ups, you guys have the best sponsors!
So sorry guys! We’re working on that code now (just emailed them to see what’s up). Will keep you posted!
xo,
s
It’s working now!
Love the octopus pillow – so cute!
Ooooh, you got me with the Royal Design Studio wall stencil. Just ordered a french bee stencil – thanks for the discount code. There’s nothing I like better than bees in the house.
Wahoo! You know we love bees…
Send pics!

I have a question totally unrelated to this post, but hoping you will see it soon and let me know what you think. My husband and I are planning on painting the exterior of our house this weekend. We were planning on gray with blue trim. However, we have a separate garage and several out buildings that are currently the same color as our house (ugh-nasty yellow with bright red trim!). Anyway-my husband was worried about too much gray and everything looking dreary and flat. What do you guys think?
I think it’s a really standard thing to paint all of the out buildings the same color as the house so it doesn’t look like a village of different houses (the color ties them together). Then use things like colorful plants and accessories like window boxes/planters/chairs with accent pillows) around the porch/perimeter to give things some pop. Hope it helps!

The discount code at 1Canoe2 says it’s expired…?
We’ve emailed them to see what’s up! Thanks for the heads up.

The 1Canoe2 code works now! Thanks so much for being awesome all the time!
Yay! So glad! TO EVERYONE WONDERING, THEY FIXED THE CODE! Huzzah!

Hi guys…just as an FYI
I tried to make a purchase from 1 canoe 2 and it says the code YHL10 has expired
So sorry, we’ve emailed them to see what’s up!

I just bought the state prints from one canoe two for all three states I’ve lived in- RI, DE and now VA. So cute!
I tried to use the promo code for 10% off but it said that it was expired :(
The One Canoe Two promo code said it is expired! Sad! I want to order a print!
Sorry everyone! We’re working on that discount code (no idea why it doesn’t work, but we’ve emailed them and we’re waiting to hear back).

Jonathan Adler is my favorite human being and I am dying in anticipation. I am so excited that I want to rush the weekend and get to Monday, which is extremely out of character.
Wow! Would that barely aqua lamp look puuuurrrfect in my newly painted (tryng desparately to update) living room!
I used the coupon code YHL10 for 1canoe2 and it worked!
This isn’t totally unrelated since Joss & Main is on your list of sponsors, but they currently have a Greyhound statue so I obviously thought of you two.

Cute!!

1 Canoe 2 doesn’t have Hawaii! I was thinking about assembling a collection of all the states my husband and I have lived in — Colorado, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, and Hawaii — but there’s no Hawaii. : (
(To clarify, we haven’t both lived in all those states. Texas is the only state we share.)
Aw man!
xo,
s
No IL either. :( That’s the ONLY place we’ve ever lived (unless you count my husband’s study abroad destinations.)
I know! I hold you personally responsible.
Haha, I’ll totally take the blame.

I looove the 1 Canoe letter press but their MA one doesn’t even make sense. :(

Houdah? Someone needs a trip to hear (heah?) our accents; I could see Hahdah haha. I love the VT one though!
Not “houdah,” it’s “loudah.” Louder. No one cheers louder, pass the clam chowder!
I was confused too, but I think it says “loudah” (louder), which probably makes a little more sense. So cute!
I think that one says Loudah…as in louder…no one cheers louder, pass the clam chowder?
Always love your round up. Always such great stuff.
I also wanted to add this for you Sherry. I have been looking for slipcovers for my dining room chairs and I came across these and thought of you and your love for Bees. Enjoy. Oh and they are only $11.99, down from $29.99. ;)

Can I just say how crazy amazing it is that you guys posted this and because of an error 1 Canoe 2 had with the discount code, we can all see how many people go right over to the sites and actually make purchases?!
Another show of how amazing you guys are and how wide your reach is in the giant world of DIY/Decor. Yay YHL!
“Octopus pillow out of stock ” : ((
Blue carb and jellyfish pillows still available on sale
Bwahaha -your tiny typo had me wondering what a “blue carb” was -duh, blue CRAB. :)
Cute stuff! That whale is adorable :)

If only I were independently wealthy.
Haha, amen. These shops are dangerous!

Jonathan Adler?! Wha-wha??!!
PS: Yous guys have come a long way -you’ve got like about a million sponsors now -that’s so great!
Speaking of Joss and Main…Did you guys see this?? Might be a halfway decent replacement for the unspeakable incident. Sorry to bring up bad memories…

Haha thanks! He’s very dapper!

I don’t remember where I posted my question. I was wondering how you got the effect of your silvery/gray wall in the hallway/entryway by the stairwell?
I’m not sure what you’re referring to. We don’t have a stairwell in our house. Is it possible you’re looking at an inspiration image we have shared that’s from somewhere else? If so there’s always a link to see where it’s from. Hope it helps!

Those 1 Canoe 2 letter presses are so cool! Shame everybody uses fandangled emails these days instead of good old fashioned letters :(
