I'm not one to moan and complain about cooler weather. Personally, I'm all for it. I love the cool breezes that make me bundle up in overcoats and enormous scarves. I like knowing it's cold out while I'm inside by a fire, with jammies on and Bourbon in hand. I love the snow. What we get of it, ...
On Windows: Custom Drapes, Shades, Blackouts, Sheers, and Hardware, Oh My!
I have failed in the past when it came to dressing windows.
My grandmother had draperies in her den, living room, and bedroom that had to have been custom- off white linen with pinch pleats and a stationary pulley to open and close. My parents were of the 80's and 90's school of sheer panels ...
The Story of the Buddha
You may have noticed in the reveal of our entryway that there was a cute little Buddha hanging out by our family photos.
My dad was a child of the 50's and 60's, turning 18 slap in the middle of the Vietnam War. He was drafted after high school, and took off to Fort Benning, Georgia, then to ...
In the Bag
Over the last couple of months, my office has been in the process of a move. We were out of our old space on the 2nd of December, and as of today, still haven't moved completely into our new (and fabulous!) space. For the last several weeks, then, my entire office has been crammed into my car and ...
How to Host a Derby Party
There are a few things we Louisvillians take seriously. UK versus UL in any sport. Our Bourbon. Any recipe remotely resembling fried chicken. And the Derby.
Sure, you'll have a few naysayers that believe that the Derby and all of the festivities surrounding it are nothing but a bunch of pomp ...
A Few Favorites: Lamps
I've mentioned before that I made a huge mistake in our Old Louisville home so many years ago when I relied only on overhead lighting. I was a young 20-something, on a budget, and had minimal experience dressing a house. Excuses aside, it just didn't look "finished" in there at all.
When we ...
Inspired Lately: Styling Shelves
I'm going to sub-title this: Stylish Shelves, Part 1... because we have a long way to go.
We are slowly, and I mean slowwwwwwly making our way into the accessorizing phase of new home ownership and decorating. In our old old house- one situated on 4th Street in Old Louisville- we had a ...
Small Town Living
I was fortunate enough last month to have a listing in the cute little town of Eminence, Kentucky. The Sellers are a wonderful young couple that also went to my alma matter, WKU, and the wife's dad has been my go-to floor guy for several years. Their house is as darling as anyone would want- this ...
For the Gals
Admittedly, I am not a Valentine's Day person. Bryan and I even moved our dating anniversary (or, Firstiversary, as we call it) to March 1st from February 17th to get it out of February completely. This is a month when I typically lay low, and let the red roses and teddy bear balloons float by, ...
