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 ...
New Listing: 8108 Old Gate Road, Barbourmeade
Tucked into the lovely neighborhood of Barbourmeade, a recently renovated white brick ranch is available for a new owner.
Upon entering, a surprisingly open living space awaits! Living room, dining area, hearth room, and kitchen all open to one another, creating an ideal place for entertaining. ...
Two Derby Time Cocktails (that aren’t Juleps)
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 ...
