If You're a Mom and You Love Design: Read This.

This article from Design Mom perfectly describes why I love home design. And my children. And living a life that forces encourages us to be together so much.

I love that Regina Sirois (the author) *gets* how a beautiful home, a loved space, can make life beautiful. I love her style. She mixes, just the way I try to,  modern with natural. Clean lines with just enough organic and whimsy to be warm.

One of my favorite parts of the article:

Q: What do you hope your kids learn from you with regard to your home life? What do you hope they’ll remember?

A: I hope they will remember our home as a refuge where they are completely loved. I hope they remember our home as a beautiful place to be and play and dream. I love a clean house, but it cannot always be. There is brownie batter on my floor. There is spilled paint on my patio. There are grass clippings on my welcome mat.

I hope someday I walk into my daughters’ homes and find just enough mess to prove they are enjoying life, and just enough organization to prove they’ve got their lives together.


If you're a mom and a design lover, check out this house tour and interview. It's sweet and heartfelt and the perfect antidote to a rainy day.
