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 ...
A Very Pink Victorian
Late last week, I had the pleasure of selling a GORGEOUS victorian home in our beautiful Cherokee Triangle. My clients are moving back to Louisville from the San Francisco Bay area, and fell in love with the way Louisville’s historic neighborhoods and the elaborate millwork inside reminded ...
Dining at Decca
Twice in the last week, I've had the opportunity to grab food and drink at Decca Restaurant in downtown Louisville. I'll be honest- for some reason, Decca was never a place I took the initiative to visit on my own. Instead, I've only ever visited at the invitation of someone else. ...
Mahonia Studios
Here in Louisville, we are incredibly lucky to be surrounded by small business.

From the Highlands ...

Setting the Table for July 4th
I'm fortunate enough to have a cool birthday- the song "Born on the 4th of July" always had meaning in my house, and the holiday birthday has built in me a serious love of fireworks. Over and over I heard that the entire country celebrates with me. More often than not, I'd have those ...
Bellaire Update
If you're following along on my Snapchat (@joycekduncan), you've seen that as of today, I have walls in the Bellaire house!
While the sheetrock still needs to be re-mudded and sanded, I can see the place beginning to take shape. The deep, blood red walls that were in the dining area and ...
Summer Bedding
Readers, I'm not sure where you join me from. Some months, I see several logging in from Chicago, Cleveland, San Franciso, and, for some reason, Brazil, and while I'm sure that our climates don't always mirror each other, I know that some of you- like me- hate to be too warm on summer nights. ...
