What's Inside My Decorating Toolbox
There are a few must-have tools that I always keep with me when decorating both for clients and in my own home. You can save so much time and frustration just by having the right tools to complete a job! No matter your decorating expertise, I think anyone can use these items to make their life a little easier and their home more pulled together. Take a look at my what’s inside my decorating toolbox below!
Chalkboard Lettering + Design Workshop
Join us here at The Amsden to learn the art of chalkboard lettering + design! Do you have an old chalkboard at home that really needs some TLC but you just don’t know where to start?! Kenzie Spring of Not Just Spring Designs, will be giving tips and tricks to making the cutest chalkboard signs, teaching faux lettering while also providing attendees with her favorite tools to practice and continue learning the basics + more!
My Baby Essentials from Amazon
When you’re expecting your first baby, putting together a baby registry is such a daunting task! I had no idea what I needed and felt SO overwhelmed with all the choices out there. I ended up registering at a few different places but Amazon was by far my favorite! I would highly recommend doing a baby registry with Amazon because of the vast variety of items available and how easy it is to put together. They have anything and everything you could want and the prices are usually much cheaper than other stores. I also was amazed at how many cute clothes, decor, and accessories they had available. I wanted to share my favorite items I received from our registry that we use everyday! Our portable sound machine, diaper bag backpack, and owlet heart rate monitor are just a few of my everyday essentials that I would recommend to every first time mom.

Join us for a progressive brunch on Court Street in downtown Versailles to sample + see Versailles' new businesses!

Sheetpan Short Rib Nachos
Superbowl Sunday is just around the corner and one of my favorite football-watching foods has always been nachos! When it comes to nachos, the more toppings, the better! These sheetpan nachos have it all: shredded shortribs, peppers, black beans, pico and guacamole, plenty of cheese, and they’re topped with a cool + tangy lime cilantro crema. We used short ribs from Kentucky Darling Meats, a local father-daughter duo who raises antibiotic-free beef that is pasture raised and grain finished in Stanford, Kentucky. They were so kind to gift us with a meat bundle and we have been so impressed with how good all the beef has been! They have tons of beef + meat bundles available and they can ship even if you aren’t local (visit their website here for more information)! The short ribs were such a perfect topping for these nachos- they have amazing flavor but also are so fall-apart-tender that they are easy to eat as well.
Valentine's Cheeseboard Workshop with Bourbon + Wine Pairings
Come celebrate an early Valentine’s Day date night learning how to assemble the perfect cheeseboard at the Amsden! I will share my tips and recipes while demonstrating how I put together my cheeseboards step by step. Throughout the workshop, we will all taste and enjoy the cheeseboard together with three complimentary bourbon or wine pairings specifically chosen to compliment the ingredients. Each attendee will receive a take home guide to assembling their charcuterie at home, as well as access to my online guide which is frequently updated with additional recipes + tips.
