Hi! I am Tara. I have spent most of my adult life focused on studies and the hustle and bustle of a serious corporate career - a career that took me around the world and back home, to Cincinnati, OH. I am a collector and I enjoy the process of curating a beautiful home - in particular, a gorgeous tablescape. My Co-Host is my opportunity to nurture this passion and play with different tastes, for I love both tradition and trend; saturated colors and neutrals; simple and sophisticated. I believe that most things can look beautiful when placed in the right setting with the right pairings. Assembling that puzzle properly is a challenge I enjoy. So please give me a call and let's have some fun co-hosting!

Meet Verna Florence, Tara's grandma who graced people's lives for a full 100.5 years. Verna was the ultimate matriarch and preeminent hostess. When entertaining, she made every guest feel special, every course of food taste better and every table more beautiful. She even did so during the Great Depression, when means were limited but her ingenuity was abundant. Always cool and collected, Verna's family and friends never knew how hard she worked to ensure they had a fabulous time while in her home, but she had prepared with love and pride, and the results delighted.
Despite her fabulous style and physical beauty, Verna lived by the belief that "pretty is, as pretty does".
So when not entertaining or parenting, Verna helped run her husbands' businesses plus volunteered with her Church and a charity shop - which she supported well into her 90s. She had hands that grew flowers, kneaded flour and took tricks - enabling her to win countless garden club championships, bake-offs and bridge hands. She was also an avid traveler, and took daily walks. Verna loved listening to Cincinnati Reds games, reading novels, solving crosswords, knitting and sewing needlepoint. She was a phenomenal conversationalist - curious, creative, resourceful and incredibly intelligent (she even skipped two years of grade school!) Best of all, Verna had the most contagious smile and a surprising, modern wit that could make anyone blush. Verna was a striking lady of profound substance and grace. She never met a stranger and was kind to all. She loved and was loved.
And so it is in Verna's honor that we help you host. We work behind the scene so you can focus on your guests and all the important aspects of your well-rounded life. We help make hosting appear effortless.
We set not just the table, but also the mood.
Cheers to all the good times that Verna continues to inspire!
