Who is Leslie Karen?

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.
