We have a sofa. There's been a chair delivered. Paint is on the walls, and cabinets are installed. My sweet little shotgun on Bellaire is starting to look like a real house!!
After a quick change of pace with the wall color (Spare White looked almost mint green, so Extra White ...
The Mane Revival
1993.
I was 10 years old the last time I really, truly looked in the mirror and saw my own hair color. It was in the South where the 80's had just ended, and I remember seeing a huge, spiral curled head of hair in one of the beauty magazines laying around the parlor my grandma visited every ...
Williams-Sonoma Lacourte Collection
I'm seriously considering new furniture for our guest room here at the house. After giving away the same desk and end tables I'd had for 12 years (from Target!), and coming around just a bit more to gold accessories, I stumbled upon the Lacourte Collection from Williams-Sonoma Home.

Summer Dressing
It’s hard- so hard!- to find a dress that can carry one through summer date nights. I’ll rephrase. It’s difficult to find a dress that can carry one through sweltering summer date nights in the Ohio Valley, where the humidity can creep upwards of 80% even on days it isn’t ...
Late Night at Eight Bar
As you well know, I love my little neighborhood in Chicago. I've stayed at The Ambassador East (formerly Public Chicago- more on that later) on more occasions than I care to admit. The atmosphere of the tiny bubble which comprises Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is comfortable. ...
Bellaire Update
Oh, friends, I’m so happy to report that we are moving along at a nice rate at the Bellaire house. In the last week, my contractor has completed all of the drywall work, all of our kitchen can lights have been installed, and the old, icky bathroom vanity, lights and mirror have come out, and ...
