All of the Greatest Units and Pairs for Your House

Welcome to the extended version of my weekly newsletter, House Call (and if you haven’t subscribed, what are you waiting for?). This is where I spend some time pondering a theme, answering a question, and helping you shop smarter—or at least find some new inspiration. Reach out if you ever need recommendations. I’m happy to search the Internet for the most specific furnishings, decor, and knickknacks.

Though I don’t have much knowledge regarding numerology, and I can’t say I have a current lucky number (though two was my favorite number as a child), there is fun in taking the time to think about today’s special date, 2/22/22 (or 22/2/22). It is a palindrome, ambigram (if you arrange the digits in vertical order, it would read the same upside down as well), and it falls on a Tuesday. So to mark the occasion, I thought I’d comb the internet for all the best duos, pairs, and sets of two. From bookends to salt and pepper shakers, glasses, and socks, there’s a great sense of evenness to these finds.
