Love Letters from the Good Life

Inspiration / February 27, 2020

My Office

My company, Semonin Realtors, calls home a full floor in a chic, modern building in Louisville’s East End. Last year, as we shifted a few offices and and desk spaces around, I was fortunate to move into a corner office overlooking the parking lot on one side, and a large, deer-filled field on the other. While the space and the views are freaking amazing, the corporate vibe needed a little zhushing in order to feel personal.

My desk isn’t the greatest by any means… It’s an old one, that’s made it through two moves and has been living in my basement for a few years. But the dark tone gave me something to go off of.

To cover the carpeting, I bought a relatively large pale beige sisal rug from Overstock. Paired with my desk is a gorgeous olive green velvet swivel chair (From Pottery Barn Kids!!). I turned two 3×2 cubbies from Target on their end for a tall line of bookshelves. Black fabric cubes provide a ton of needed storage. All of my frames, the mirror, the small side table, the letter holders, marble canister, and lamps are from Target.

Eventually, I’d like to hunt down the same sofa we had in the Bellaire living room and have it along the window for more comfortable seating, but for now, two black chairs from our general office space are working just fine.

I’ve found that I’m more productive in a space that feels a little more like home, and I do feel settled in in this spot. I love that I’m surrounded by photos of my family- my brunch bunch, the pups, and the Hubbo- and my chair is the coolest little spinny spot to perch in. It feels like an office, yes, but it feels like home.

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.

Looking for Something?

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!
