Wednesday morning, my banister was removed. It was not a pretty process. My handyman, John, and I sat and stared for a bit at the giant oak banisters, and the four-inch-thick spindles that were built right into the staircase. After a few moments that seemed like a lifetime, we shrugged, wished ...
The Houseiversary
It was a year ago today that this home became ours. 365 days since we downsized, became suburban, and began making a small, somewhat vanilla townhome our own.
Usually, on the first Houseiversary, as I've dubbed it, my clients receive a sweet note in the mail, containing sentiments about one's ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 2
(Did you miss part 1? Catch up here)
It only took me a couple of days or so of thinking to determine that our best course of action at this point was to use the impressive box that this stinking mirror was delivered in as a template. 180 pounds of reflective glass is hard to maneuver in so many ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 1
You may have noticed that things were quiet last week. I didn't utter a peep. Why, you ask? Why were my lips so stolidly sealed? Why were my eyes dead, and emotions low? Well, darlings, it's because I bought a mirror.
You're confused, aren't you?

A Whiter Shade of Pale
I'm sure most women work this way: If I have long hair, I'm dreaming of short. If I buy a blue dress, I wish I have bought it in black. When I'm tan, I'd like fair skin. When my old house was shades of blue everywhere, I wanted this one to be dark, neutral and dramatic. It's the ...
Wildberry Cafe
If any of you are Facebook friends of mine, you're aware that at least two weekends out of every month, the guy and I check in at Toast on Market. As many fabulous brunches as there are in Louisville (Gralehaus, El Camino, Harvest, Ghyslain...) there is just something about Toast that makes us ...
Snowmageddon 2015
If you live within the great state of Kentucky, you're well aware that we are experiencing a ludicrous amount of snow. If you're luckier still to live in Lousville, you've noticed that the ENTIRE CITY HAS SHUT DOWN.
The man and I ventured to the gym this morning to see just how bad the roads were, ...
Pierrot Gourmet
One of the goals during this Chicago visit was to eat and drink at places we hadn't tried before. Giordano's and tea at The Langham aside, we made it a point to try new places. You see, as familiar as we are with downtown Chicago and a couple of the suburbs, my crazy need for familiarity usually ...
Chicago Wardrobe
Dressing for Chicago winter weather... That was going to be the title of this post. It would have been, too, if it weren't for the fact that during this entire trip, Chicago Winter decided to turn into Chicago Spring.
We arrived Friday evening, after a week of temperatures in the low teens, to a ...
