Finding the home.
Have you spent years camping on dewy grass on a lot you bought a decade ago, learning the geography of your property and how the light falls in different seasons? Or did you impulse purchase and overpay for a home later to realize it needs to be taken to the studs? Guilty! Whether you’re grouped with the former or the latter or somewhere in-between, or you’ve yet to jump into home ownership, you still have work to do to find the home.
Who do you want that home to be?
And who do you want to be in it?
How do you want to feel tracing a hand on its walls, walking barefoot on its floors, and soaking in its bathtub.
I encourage you to daydream and lose yourself in thought imagining walking up the stairwell and plopping onto a couch. Waking up in the morning and meandering to the kitchen. Coming in from a run and tossing your sneaks and dirty clothes in a mudroom.
The form, function, textiles, textures, colors, light — it will all make the home, and you have got to figure out what you want your home to be.
