Such a good post! Completely agree there are so many moving parts/constraints with creating a home that reflects who we are & who we want to be that’s also comfortable for our families who live with us…I tend to move every 1-2yrs and start over with my design since every home is different and I believe good design has to listen to the space. I always sell most of my things, this is not feasible for most people but it’s definitely helped me not drag lots of things from the past around and end up with house that feel dated in my past. My homes always feel like a current reflection of who I am, with little bits of who I was reflected in my Art.
Love this musing! I’ve found with my own house, it’s an ongoing conversation between what I want stylistically x what the house wants.
