Hear me out... I love a julep. Well. I love a julep when it's done well. This is rare. Ask most how to make a mint julep, and they'll tell you to muddle mint (which makes it bitter, in my opinion) with some sugar, toss in some bourbon and water it down. Yuck.
I have a julep recipe from ...
An Easter Table with Supermarket Flowers
The man and I have been making great use lately of our sunroom. While this space isn't nearly what I want it to be (read: I want to make it bigger, drywall the space, drop in a dining light, extend the hardwoods in here, and line the exterior walls with black French doors), after a fresh coat of ...
As an Aside… (a note on Side Tables)
I know it feels like I've said it so many times, but I feel like I have so many rooms in this house that are just *almost* done. In our den, we're some sort of artwork, a bowl, and two side tables away from finished. In the living room? Curtains and a side table. Entry? A table. Every room has ...
Easter Dessert… or Breakfast
I'm a total sucker for a pound cake. No judgement here, please, but those frozen Sara Lee butter pound cake numbers? My god, I could eat the entire thing without even thinking about it! Those are what my grandma would use for the base of her strawberry short cakes, and I still run out and grab ...
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 ...
First Quarter Reads
** The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling: All 7 of them. I- like so many others around my age- tuned in for the 20th anniversary special, and it immediately sparked a desire to read the books again. I'm admittedly the WORST when it comes to try and watch a movie objectively after reading a ...
New Listing: 210 Eline Avenue, Saint Matthews
Just off of Lexington Road and Cannons Lane, a Saint Matthews bungalow awaits a new owner. Recent renovations have opened the dining, kitchen, and family room, and transformed the basement into incredible live/work space!
Walk into a front living room with shiplap fireplace wall, original ...
Spring Cleaning
True story: When I received my second Covid vaccine, it felt like it almost killed me. I had had a pretty invasive surgery on June 10th, and my second dose was scheduled just a few days after on June 14th. I could barely walk, and looking back, shouldn't have taken the second dose in such a ...
On the Shelf: Handcare
I'm a habitual hand washer. There. I said it. When I get nervous, or if my anxiety is high, I wash my hands. A lot. Several times a day. And I keep hand sanitizer with me all the time (even pre-Covid!). Couple my crazy cleanliness complex with the fact that I always have my car's AC or heat ...
