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 ...
Coronado Update: Entry Reveal
Coming to a home like this one- a large center-hall Colonial, built in the mid-60's- from a chic and slender townhouse was not without a few head-scratching moments of "how do we make this work?" One of the biggest spaces that just didn't seem conducive to our lives was the entry. Dominated on one ...
A Little Bit of Curb Appeal
Once month, here at the office, my partner, Greg, and I teach classes on the Buyer and Seller processes that our new agents go through. Every time we get into the listing process, he hands the class over to me to talk about staging a property to make it feel universally welcoming. I always pull up ...
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 ...
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: Styling 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 ...
Slowly but Surely: Making a House a Home
I feel like I should preface this post with: Don't trust HGTV.
We've been so conditioned over the years to think that we decide we're going to redecorate a room, or tackle a bathroom renovation, and poof, it's complete in just a few weeks. TV shows offer of the pretty glimpses of home ...
Coronado Update: Guest Room Reveal
When we moved in, we came along with bedroom furniture that was- admittedly- a little large. We have an upholstered king size bed, and decent sized nightstands. We moved in, however, to a house with a primary bedroom that was smaller than one of the other bedrooms for some reason, and our ...
