Who is Leslie Karen?
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.

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.

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.
