You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, and always challenge yourself to try new things.

I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time.

We're not handling things anymore before they arrive on our doorstep. I like to feel how thin porcelain can be, run my hand over a textile, see if I want to sit in a chair.

I can change a light fixture, and I can do certain things. But I'm really bad in terms of construction. I can't do any of it on my own.

Home has always been one of the most important things. If I don't feel at home in my space, then I feel really unmoored.

Before you begin designing or buying anything, you need to get real and ask yourself: What do you really want to use this room for? What do you want to do in this room but can't now?

Everywhere your eye travels in your home, it should land on something that resonates with you.
