Just a few days ago, one of my agents posted an open-ended question on her Facebook page: "The word I will incorporate into my life for 2020 is improvement," she said. "What will yours be?" Almost without hesitation, I typed a response. "Contentment."
Admittedly, I'm a girl who wants. I want ...
A Note on Christmas: Cedar, a Shag Rug, and my Emotional Undoing
Each year, around September, I begin brainstorming that year's holiday decor. Moodboards are pieced together on Pinterest, showing topiaries made of tangerines, Aerin Lauder's New York home, gifts wrapped in a multitude of coordinating papers... This year, my heart settled on really decking out ...
Black Friday Gift Guide
Ah yes, Black Friday morning. I just woke up to the smell of roast turkey throughout the house. After a small crowd through our home yesterday for a Thanksgiving open house, and the amount of Applejack, cornbread and apple cake I consumed, I thought I'd be sleeping in a bit, but I popped awake at ...
The Thanksgiving Table
This year, Bryan and I have decided to stay in Louisville and celebrate Thanksgiving with just the two of us. I'm considering the possibility of a spatchcocked bird on the Traeger, but homemade cranberry jelly and sweet cornbread are definitely happening... as is a frosted apple cake.

On the 4th
We know by now that I'm very much averse to red, white, and blue everything on the 4th. 30-something years of star-spangled birthdays have made me lean towards a more toned-down color combo for my celebrations each year. Whether there's a gorgeous blue and white tablescape or an all-red flower ...

For at least 5 years, I've wanted to host a Derby party. I'm not the kind of gal that would want to go all red roses, horseheads, and turf on the table (though a turf table sounds like an awesome idea...), but I've always had visions in my head of girlfriends in wild hats, honey-drizzled fried ...
The Easter Table
There's no flower I love to see in bloom more than ranunculus. The delicate petals seem to go on forever into it's center, and the way their stems go all wild after a day or two in a glass of water is just amazing to me. These delicate little flowers have so much personality. When combined with ...
On the Eve
Dear readers,
I wish you nothing more on this chilly December evening than the comforts of home... I hope you feel the warmth of a fire, have the giggles that erupt after too many drinks tonight with family and friends, and wake up tomorrow with full hearts, full minds, and full ...
The Christmas Table
I've gone mad for buffalo check around the holidays, I know... I'm so thankful, though, that the black and white of such a pattern can make an appearance in so many ways and not seem overwhelming. On the table this year, Pottery Barn's buffalo check napkins provide the only real fluff on our ...
