There's something I call 'Moving Day,' which I've done for the last 20 years. Look at everything in your home, then think about how you could combine things in a different way. Maybe you break up your night tables and use one in the family room; maybe the dining room sideboard becomes a console table for your television, with storage underneath.
Nate BerkusI'm interested in fashion; I buy fairly good pieces, and I think as I've gotten older, I've pared down a lot.
Nate BerkusI didn't necessarily want to be famous growing up, but I knew I would be a good famous person because I'm not offended if somebody comes up to me and knows things about me and wants to engage me in a conversation.
Nate BerkusI don't believe in having spaces in the home that don't get used. We pay so much for square footage that to waste it is criminal.
Nate BerkusAbout 80 percent of the stuff I live with is old. I like letting things take on the character theyโre meant to have by really being used. โฆ when you own things that have the imperfections they deserve, that theyโve earned from a well-lived life, it frees you from feeling as though theyโre untouchable.
