▸ Most of the stuff in my house is thrifted—the process of finding things while out and about is one of the things that keeps me motivated to rethink spaces and improve them. That being said, I do love solid pieces that will last a long time, so some stuff, like our beds and couches etc., didn’t come from Goodwill. We’ve moved several times since our kids were born and in some of the first houses I tried to “pick a style” but I found that I just could not! I enjoy too many elements drawn from too many places, and my house is a reflection of that. Of all the things I aspire for it to be, cozy is up there on the list; so lots of layers of texture and color make me feel like I want to hole up and chill for a while. The “inside outside” windows… in the stairway and entryway I had old leaded glass windows framed into the walls, so light really passes through but there’s some separation of space. We knocked down all but one of the interior walls on the main floor, and when the time in construction came to put walls back up, I was paranoid that it would start to feel like its original “boxed in” self, which was a rat maze of apartment units. It was one of those things that had contractors scratching their heads at me, but when they saw my vision near the end they realized it’s actually pretty cool and does exactly what I hoped it would!
