Home should be less about routine and more about ritual. A calm, safe space for my physical and mental states, and the flows of creativity that come and go. All the stages of ourselves can and should be reflected in this ongoing process. I kept this in mind when putting my home together slowly and with love. There’s no rush for anything when it comes to home.

We are just starting week 4 of self-quarantine. These days have been a blur. While the future is unknown, the only thing to do is focus on the present, and to me, my home encompasses so much of that.
No matter what, my home will be the place where I should always be able to find retreat in. These past few weeks, I have been working on changing little things here and there, organizing and rearranging, getting rid of what doesn’t make me happy, and making my home give me the same feeling as escaping to a faraway island does. And with all the time in lockdown, I have no choice but to put my energy into the space that continuously surrounds me throughout these days. It is what is keeping me same. A therapy of sorts. I feel like a lot of you guys are in the same boat as me. If we are going to ride out this virus together, we might as well make the place we ride it out in a sacred place for us to bring to life our passions, whatever they may be. For me, home has to feel like the ultimate creative space. And for creativity to flow, I feel like I need open space. My place isn’t tiny, but it also isn’t huge, so I rearranged some things to make a more open feel in the living room area and it has been giving me so much joy and positive energy. It has made all the difference. Here are some images taken in the past two weeks. I linked where I got some of the main pieces, like my marble coffee table from Rove Concepts or my marble dining table from Six Penny. I’m thinking about getting a new couch since I’ve had this one for quite some time. I was thinking maybe an emerald green or a sapphire blue? Can’t make up my mind. This sunshine yellow has been so comforting these past few years, its hard to let go of it. But change is always nice.
