just me, living here

Hi friend, so glad you found me! 👋

Welcome to “just me, living here” where an ordinary woman imagines an extraordinary life…

This little corner of the internet isn’t about being fancy, perfect, or “influencer-level” anything. It’s just me, living here. I’m not a sommelier or a chef whipping up gourmet meals, a decorator with a showroom-ready home, or a social media pro with the perfect flat-lay. I’m an ordinary woman living an ordinary life, surrounded by things I love, and that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you.

What You’ll Find Here

Dream Homes: I explore stunning homes for sale and pretend I live there. I design, decorate, and plan the lifestyle as if it’s mine. Spoiler: it’s not.
Moodboards & Design Ideas: I create looks, rooms, and inspiration boards as if I were the designer and homeowner. I’m not. But it’s fun, right?
Just Me, Loafing About aka My Love of Bread: A little slice of my daily life, breaking bread every week and sharing it with you.
Just Me, Barely Buzzed where I am 100% convinced with Zero Proof: Just me, convincing you that mocktails are not mock-worthy.
Simple Joys: McDonald’s fries, drugstore makeup wins, and soup that sometimes starts with canned chicken.
Just Me, Living Here: A recurring theme and reminder that while I love to imagine big, I live small and real. And that’s okay. A reminder that your life doesn’t have to look extraordinary to matter.

I started this blog because social media can feel like one big comparison trap. We see people doing incredible things, and suddenly our ordinary lives don’t feel “enough.” But guess what? They are. You are.

So if you’ve ever ate a whole baguette for dinner, felt a hangover for days, skipped a shower, or worn yesterday’s wrinkled clothes to the grocery store, you’ll fit right in here. 🏡

Life is short, and the everyday stuff is what makes it sweet. Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to share this journey with you. 💕

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you stay a while.

Hello,

I’m Kristin

aka Kiki, a dreamer, doer, and daydream decorator living in Louisville, Kentucky. I share my home with my husband, our college-age daughter, and two high maintenance landlords named Magnolia and Briar.

By day, I juggle multiple part-time jobs, including working for a home staging and design company and by night, I scroll through dreamy real estate listings and Hampton private chefs Instagram and imagine the life I’d live if I lived there.

Welcome to just me, living here a space where I pretend to be the homeowner and designer of beautiful homes that are (sadly) not mine. I create mood boards, and design ideas, all while living my very real, very ordinary life in my own home.

Some days I might be me showcasing a multi-million dollar riverfront stunner, and the next it’s just me… sharing my favorite products, throwing together dinner, ordering mocktails, eating bread or planting radishes (that nobody eats).

This blog is my love letter to the life I dream about and the real one I live. It’s part inspiration, part pretend, and part practical. A little home design, a little gardening, a little cooking, a little drinking, and a whole lot of honest living.

Thanks for being here, it means a lot to a girl with big dreams, a lot of love to share and a messy little house. 🌿✨
