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 ...
In the Navy
Inevitably, the grass is always greener. Those with wavy hair wish it were straight, while those with straight would love a week without their curling iron. Those living in a cooler climate wish for warm weather, while those with humidity crave a dry heat... Its never ending. We want what we ...
Current Obsession: Tiny Shotgun Homes
Here in Louisville, we're fortunate to have an abundance of home styles. From 8,000 square foot Victorian mansions, funky downtown high-rises, cheerfully colored row homes, and sprawling Indian Hills ranch-style, we really do have it all. I'm lucky enough to work in an industry that ...
Palm Springs Dreaming
It's that time of year when all of the man's athletes are on Spring Break. My social media is flooded with photos of rolling waves, videos of late-night pranks. I keep getting Snaps and texts of sun-splashed co-eds laughing that I'm a little too old to travel with them, and sunburn... ...
Open for Business
Friends, readers, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the patience you've shown over the last year.

Dream Dining
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of helping a long-distance client close on their new home- a two-story townhome, backing up to a fountain-filled lake in a secluded Louisville neighborhood full of geese and deer. It really is a dreamy space, and- lucky for me!- really dreamy clients who have provided ...
Doris Salcedo at the MCA
Almost every trip to Chicago- or any other city for that matter- I make an effort to take in something I can't get at home. Whether it's as simple as Chicago deep dish (now a tradition) or a production on Broadway, a visit to the Grand Canyon, or simply a sit-and-look of the Eiffel Tower (still on ...
A Whiter Shade of Pale
I'm sure most women work this way: If I have long hair, I'm dreaming of short. If I buy a blue dress, I wish I have bought it in black. When I'm tan, I'd like fair skin. When my old house was shades of blue everywhere, I wanted this one to be dark, neutral and dramatic. It's the ...
