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 ...
Kitchen Woes
I'm ashamed to say that last week during the great "Oh-my-God-the-cleaning-lady-is-coming-so-I-must-clean!" madness that occours each month, I tossed 4 grocery bags of food and garbage out of our kitchen. Weeks-old take out, spoiled salmon that was never made into something wonderful, a ...
Fall Porch
Overnight freezing temps have finally decended on Louisville, and while there hasn't been one of those wicked, planter-killing frosts yet, I know it's coming. I'm trying to enjoy the last few days of the beautiful Fall porch we had this year.
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

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 ...
An Abundance of Airplants
Walk into my home on any day of the week, and you’ll be greeted by tufts of green everywhere. My neighbor, Jim, has mused at least once that I have a large amount of plants in my home. It’s true. Since becoming friends with Bridget at Mahonia Studios, I’ve become a bigger plant ...
Favorite Home Accessories of the Moment
I’ll admit that aside form prepping my home for cooler and warmer months, I’m pretty static in how I decorate. I’ll ponder over the perfect candleholder or sconces for months, then pray that they stay in their “spot” for all eternity. My poor boyfriend can vouch that ...
Williams-Sonoma Lacourte Collection
I'm seriously considering new furniture for our guest room here at the house. After giving away the same desk and end tables I'd had for 12 years (from Target!), and coming around just a bit more to gold accessories, I stumbled upon the Lacourte Collection from Williams-Sonoma Home.
