Shower head spirals, pro paint recs, and more.

Is it just us or was July over in the blink of an eye? In an effort to hold onto summer as long as possible, we put together a recap of everything you might have missed—and some things worth a second look—from last month.

In Case You Missed It: In July, Julie Vadnal figured out how to stay cool in a heat wave, Lindsey Mather learned there’s such a thing as a houseplant palette, Samantha Weiss-Hills changed her mind about purple, and Lydia Geisel revealed her secret source for small-space inspo.

The new renter-friendly Boona Tandem Shower had us spiraling in a good way. If two-tone isn't your thing, it's also available in chrome or matte black.

More stuff we Slacked about: This pea lighter is Julie's everything, Lydia keeps getting served floor cushions and doesn’t hate it, Andie Diemer discovered a very chic pet food bowl, and Samantha is obsessed with this lamp.

01. XL silicone cubes for freezing the ultimate summer snack: any and all fruit.

02. A plant support system that beats standard stakes any day.

03. A pitcher that uses refillable granules instead of a grimy filter to clean your H2O.

04. The most stylish tabletop fan we’ve found (and it comes with a remote!).

05. Breathable linen sheets in a color reminiscent of the pool we wish we were lounging in.
