About 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.
Nate BerkusThe truth is that things matter. They have to, they are what we live with and touch each and every day. They represent what we've seen, who we've loved and where we hope to go next. They remind us of the good times and the rough patches and everything in between that's made us who we are.
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 BerkusEverywhere your eye travels in your home, it should land on something that resonates with you.
Nate BerkusAbout 90 percent of the pieces in my home are vintage, and I'm a ruthless editor. I only live with things that I love. There is not one thing in my home that doesn't have meaning to me.
