Love Letters from the Good Life

Crisp and Clean

I feel as if you’ve heard me talk on and on about bedding. There’s no telling how long I’ve pondered spending the money on beautiful, embroidered linens, and have just been too scared to spend the money on something so bright white, and so expensive… especially for a lovely piece of white bedding that my moisturizer-slathered face sleeps on every night, and my nose runs on on occasion…

Years ago, I read this article from The Laundress on how to keep your bedding bright white and feeling luxurious. I pinned it for safekeeping, hoping that someday, I’d bite the bullet and finally click “order” on everything in my shopping cart at Pottery Barn.

After falling head over heels for the Pearl sheet set and duvet cover, I was delighted that the Taupe color almost perfectly matched our headboard, meaning that our monochromatic bedroom stays monochromatic. I took the advice of Sarah over at Room For Tuesday and tossed all my linens in the dryer on the steam function prior to making the bed. Following the advice from The Laundress, I did try ironing the flat sheet and the duvet, spraying the teeniest bit of starch to keep things taut and perfect… and I’m never going back to non-ironed bedding. That’s it, friends! My Sundays henceforth will be full of my ironing board and my mac-daddy Rowenta.

I’d love to- at some point- have a monogram added to the shams (and perhaps the duvet), and grab the upholstered footboard and rails that match our headboard. I absolutely love how much more tailored things look with the crisp white bedding, and am hoping that after a few washes, things keep looking as fresh as they do now. For the cooler weather, though, a heavier duvet insert and these well-starched and ironed sheets are calling my name when the sun goes down.

Maybe it’s due to an overactive mind, a desire to feel like I’m influencing someone, or perhaps, it’s simply that I need to talk.

Wrapped up the first week of the new year by worki Wrapped up the first week of the new year by working from home, setting intention for 2021, and planning client parties, holiday gatherings. Hoping your new year is off to the best start. Cheers, y’all.
Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas. This yea Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas. This year hasn’t been the easiest on anyone, and the holidays may be difficult. I hope you find the light this season, and that even if Christmas Day is spent alone, I hope that the quiet and the snow, the light of the tree and the music on the radio provide a heart full of love.
While the man and I aren’t really doing a beauti While the man and I aren’t really doing a beautiful table setting this year (we have paper plates and a folding table), or roasting a huge bird and hosting 20 people for board games and bourbon (it’ll be turkey meatballs for two, because... Covid), I still wanted to throw some inspiration out there. This is my favorite Thanksgiving tablescape from 2017. This table is on the blog now! Cheers, y’all.
Coming soon: a century-old beauty that you just ha Coming soon: a century-old beauty that you just have to see. Keep your eyes peeled, y’all, for an Old Louisville mansion hitting the market next week.
So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the mar So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the market... so many years here, and so many changes in our lives. This house has seen the loss of both our dogs, both my parents. We celebrated our engagement here, came home happy and silly after a Christmas elopement. Thanksgiving here has been full of Bourbon and friends and Trivial Pursuit.  This has been my happy place for the better part of a decade. 

Going to sleep tonight in hopes of the right buyer who will love these walls as much as we have 💕
Happy Friday from the best place on earth! Happy Friday from the best place on earth!
