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 ...
Get it Together
Bright. Clean. Labelled. Airy. Smelly-good. Organized.
None of these terms describe my current storage situation. Yes, my home is lovely, and yes, this blog makes it look like my things are constantly put together, but the truth is that almost every ...
On the Gallery Wall
I'm fortunate enough to have a set of neighbors with fabulous taste, a gorgeous home and own Scout- one of the best design and accessories stores in the city. One thing I almost always see, whether in their home or in their store, or in the houses of their countless clients is a handsomely ...

Pumpkins- both smooth and beautiful, and ...
Guest Room Redux
Our sweet little guest room has seen its share of decor shifts over the last few years. From plain contractor-white walls and water stained ceiling, to plain, pale gray walls and my 15 year old Target furniture and zero art, to reconfigured for my mom, with refrigerator and microwave included, ...
Transitioning Home for Fall
Happy first day of Fall! I've been begging- begging!- for cooler weather to arrive here in the Bluegrass, and while it's still a sweltering and humid 89 out at the moment, I've still found ways to get the house ready for fall and winter months...
A new, pale blue linen blanket from Ellen Degeneres ...
Pottery Barn Buffalo Check
For me, Fall has always been a time of joy. Being a lover of cold weather, steaming comfort foods, and roaring fireplaces, there's something about that first onset of cool weather that gets me excited for squash soup, gingerbread, football, and sweaters.
The folks at Pottery Barn have always ...
