Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the things that captured my attention and stole my heart throughout the past week!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

1 – I thought this was a beautiful home tour. Some of the spaces in it are more my style than others, but I was especially crazy about the front door area and the pool area with this gorgeous trellis!

2 – Sometimes I forget to check out certain stores, like Urban Outfitters, because in my mind I’m too old to shop there. However, they do have a lot of great, unexpected items (if you dig) at price points that are really affordable. It can also be a really great place to find quirky gifts you likely won’t find elsewhere. I thought this ocean art was beautiful and looks like much pricier versions I see popping up at other stores. Another beautiful option is this palm print. And if anyone is looking for a gift for me in the near future, this mug has my name written all over it 😉

3 – Jen from I Heart Organizing just posted a tutorial on how to DIY acrylic office supplies. If you’ve ever shopped for your own, you know these things can be pricey, so a DIY could be a great alternative. If the process scares you, I found cute acrylic stapler, an acrylic clipboard and this acrylic tape dispenser at various stores that are all ready for you to use!

4 – I’m somewhat of a pretty wrapping junkie and a total sucker for packaging. I saw this green ikat and aqua reversible wrapping paper (it’s Kate Spade!) and thought it would be perfect for gifts for friends that will appreciate it. It would also be killer as a drawer lining or backing bookshelves/linen closets like I’ve seen others do online. This floral and polka dot reversible version is also pretty adorable!

5 – If I ever get a surf shack, I want it to be just like this one. You’ll die when you see how much style is packed into this little cottage! And for the record, C Home may just be one of my favorite new online reads.

    Great picks as always, Sarah! I made a lucite clipboard (with my name engraved on it) back in high school. Clearly I was a trendsetter! 🙂
