We get slightly cheated on Fall. Fall in Kentucky is almost always either 90 degrees or below freezing. The leaves sometimes don’t change color at all- instead, they stay green on the trees until an Arctic blast of a cold front rolls through then *poof* they all dump on the ground in one big, dewy ...
Bricking Around
It's a hazard of being a Realtor who loves their job... I have a way of falling in love with almost every home I step into. I find myself thinking of how I would use the spaces, where furniture would go. At the very least, I realize that I'm brainstorming kitchen renovations and how to reconfigure ...
Setting the Table for Fall
While it's officially been "fall" for two weeks now, here in Louisville, we've only had the random mild day weather-wise. Temps are still topping out at 90 (I know, because I spent yesterday sweating my brains out at the St. James Art Show), but cooler weather is on the horizon with sub-70's ...
Peace and Quiet
As I write, it's 6pm on Sunday night, after three days worth of storms have ripped through our state. I hear that there were more folks without power in Lexington than there were here in Louisville- almost three times as many. We were lucky. We only lost power for 3 hours or so Friday night, and ...
The Guest Room
For the four years we've been in our home, the guest room has gone under a few transitions. First, outfitted with a desk and nightstands I bought from Target for my first apartment, then, when my mom moved in, with a giant recliner, a kitchenette, and her furniture from the farm. When she passed, ...
Summer Finds at Mahonia
Summer's arrival in a city like Louisville brings with it the sauna-like qualities of the south. Heat, humidity so thick one can practically swim through it, and mosquitos... so many mosquitos. Fortunately, there's air conditioning, there's bug repellant, and there are the welcome warm weather ...
Organization Update: The Kitchen
After much hemming and hawing, way too much time trying to find just the right canisters, and far too many hours pouring over The Home Edit's blog and inspiration-filled Instagram, the kitchen cabinets and fridge are finally organized, labelled, stacked, staged, and functional.
In the cabinets ...
For the Love of Black and White
Two weeks ago, I was enjoying a quiet dinner with a friend at Decca when Gen Sohr of Nashville’s design firm Pencil and Paper Co. walked in. I immediately fan-girled. Panic over whether or not to say hello, send a drink, or feel completely ashamed of what I was wearing set in. Finally, when I ...
Well-Collected
My neighborhood is a diverse one. I have neighbors that were the first to move in when our sweet townhomes were built, who are now well into their 80’s, with a wealth of knowledge about the community. I have a young pediatrician, fresh out of his residency who’s presumed quiet and shy ...
