What it’s all about

Leslie Karen is a blog dedicated to women who are forever curious, passionate and don’t believe in limits. I love DIY’ing and trying to figure out how to do things, traveling, designing interiors, finding good restaurants, fashion and reading. Basically just about anything creative and artistic. I spent all of my adult years in the finance/marketing world professionally (except for two stints in the nightclub and restaurant business), but always loved the creative arts.

I want women to feel their most beautiful, creative, passionate, adventurous and self-loved. Leslie Karen is all about showing women how they can re-imagine their lives. 

I get so excited interacting with creative and artistic people. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it’s never failed anybody. Each week I will take you with me as I explore all things. I invite you along on this exciting journey with me and we’ll figure it out together.

We will explore Creative Design together:

  • Creatively Design your Home

  • Creatively Design your Work

  • Creatively Design your Relationship

  • Creatively Design your Life

Fun Facts

  • I looooove Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups but only after they’ve been refrigerated.
  • My first car was an orange Volkswagen Beetle with a broken gas gauge and I only ran out of gas once…haha
  • My favorite artist of all time is Prince…..do not challenge me on this!
  • I prefer mountains/lakes over beaches/oceans
  • Ever since I was a little girl I’ve had a corn cob phobia so I always cut my corn off the cob.

I am based in Atlanta, GA and live in a fixer-upper with my rescue pit mix dog, Domi, who I’m obsessed with.

Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.

The Best Home Bars: How to Create a Stylish Entertaining Bar in Any Home

Let’s talk about one of my favorite design features: the home bar. Now before anyone clutches their pearls and says, “I don’t even drink,” hear me out. A home bar isn’t just about cocktails. It’s about entertaining. It’s about creating a destination in your home. It’s about having a space that says, “Welcome. Sit down. Stay awhile.” And frankly, it’s about looking fabulous.
