So I couldn’t resist and I found myself back at Yesternook again for a browsing trip. And you know I didn’t walk out the door empty handed. This time I spent somewhere between $20-25 on, …
The mini bar in my parents’ den had not been updated since they moved in in 1985 aside from removing the folding door a few years back. Check out that retro wallpaper (not retro in a good way). …
Have you guys checked out the Flea Off Market in NuLu yet? It takes place the second Saturday of every month. And today it was a beautiful, crisp spring day today so we headed down to check it out …
I’ve been wanting to start painting again for a while now. It’s been almost a decade since I’ve had a proper painting space because the places I’ve lived have been too nice wi …
I finally decided that my boring window screen, from an actual window – still has the pull tabs and everything – was just not fancy enough for me. I deserve fancy, and so do you. So I sta …
So I couldn’t resist and I found myself back at Yesternook again for a browsing trip. And you know I didn’t walk out the door empty handed. This time I spent somewhere between $20-25 on, you guessed it, more nicknacks. I got a couple other decor items this time as …

I’ve been wanting to start painting again for a while now. It’s been almost a decade since I’ve had a proper painting space because the places I’ve lived have been too nice with no areas to make a mess. But recently one of my freelance clients (I’ …
I finally decided that my boring window screen, from an actual window – still has the pull tabs and everything – was just not fancy enough for me. I deserve fancy, and so do you. So I started the hunt for a large wooden frame to insert a screen into. I wanted to f …
I was having a pretty lazy Saturday thinking I wasn’t going to get anything accomplished. I had planned on going shopping, planned on stopping by to see my parents but didn’t really feel motivated enough to get out of the house. Then something struck me and I was …
Don’t hate on nicknacks. I love ‘em. I just can’t resist them. Tiny bits of cultural ephemera make my heart go pitter patter. Another thing I love is organizational devices. Card catalogs, drawers for type, tiny cubbies for machine parts, etc. So naturally, …
Yesternook is Louisville’s newest antique mall type store. They opened on Goss Avenue in Germantown late last year in an old funeral home. First off, the place is HUGE. When I went in I was thinking, oh they probably just have stuff on this first level. But no, it’ …
