Some things ARE worth the fuss!

"It's not worth the fuss."

This phrase is often said in regards to things like preparing a gourmet meal from scratch, making over an entire house, or preparing an old-fashioned cocktail. Many people, especially the ones I know who are young like me, don't want to take the time to fuss over any of it.

I believe the opposite. Decanting a bottle of pinot noir enhances the flavors in my favorite wine. Preparing and chilling dough prior to hand-rolling them into little balls, and coating them in cinnamon and sugar, create the most delicious snickerdoodles I've ever tasted and am proud to have made. Sorting through knick-knacks and decorative items for hours presents the opportunity to explore my design style and collect fabulous pieces.

I love glamour, drama, and luxury. I love decorating and arranging my house until I fall in love with it again. I love cooking lasagnas and making my own pesto and vodka sauces. 

I'm here to declare: sometimes, it IS worth the fuss.
