About Me

Hi! I’m Abbie Leonardi. I started my Instagram page @chezleonardi in 2024 to document the process of restoring charm to our 1902 home in Northern Kentucky. Everything I know about decor and design I learned from other creators, and I hoped to pass some of that knowledge along through my own experience putting together our first home.

I’ve worked in a full time corporate role since graduating college in 2021, but spend much of my time outside of work learning and developing my skills in cooking, creating, and entertaining. I hope to use this site to share the best advice and expertise I’ve come across over the years with women who, like me, are not full-time homemakers, professional chefs, or interior designers but wish to create beauty and live rich, full lives in a way that’s accessible and affordable.

I value craftsmanship and thoughtful consumption, and believe that anyone can become a skilled cook, talented hostess, or stylish decorator without professional training. I’m not a fan of hollow social media trends or Amazon “must-haves”, and I hope to demonstrate that beautiful living is for everyone.
