The Lived-In Home

In a lived-in home, freshness does not come from erasing the past. It comes from re-seeing it. 

We choose a corner, soften the light and allow ourselves to stay a little longer.

A Chinese gaiwan has no handle. If the cup is too hot to hold, it is too hot to drink. The simple design of the utensil doesn’t protect you from the moment, it asks you to meet it.

Before the first guest arrives, we remind ourselves that readiness is rarely perfect and that’s enough.
