It depends on the best meaning. Living in a barn in the 1780s means that there is an infinite upgrade, and everything is needed. But what if we talk best in the most fun? My home office is located in the building used to accommodate squab. So we call it a pigeon house. The building has a garden hut with another entrance, so we decided to separate the walls in a simple pine. So now, I have this extra small room in my office with all my storage, my printer, and a small bathroom with compost toilets. It’s very fun and sweet, and it feels like a space I found. Now, I just need a new garden hut … or I’m looking at the stunning BC greenhouse!
Do you want to know the simple or budget -friendly design movements sooner?
Peel and stick wallpapers are surprising.
My favorite seat …
The piglet on the bed makes the softer linen seat with a stunning color. I am particularly biased in the blue colors of the Atlantic Ocean, but they also work in our farmers, but they still have a really fun and modern truly fun lattice stripes. And I love all the blankets created by the school building.
My favorite paint color in the bedroom …
white. Especially in the bedroom, I like white walls. I like the clean, bright and peaceful feeling.
The opinion of my unpopular design is …
Did you read about white paint?
The kitchen tools I can rely on …
We have wooden tools in the middle, not spoon, not spoon. spootontula? It’s the best form, and I feel it is wonderful to hold it. Someday I want to improve woodworking, so I can make more and give it to everyone I know.
Some words explaining my design style:
We are aiming to become Japan: Minimalists, but we have bold colors and patterns here and there.
Which items do you have from the closet repeatedly?
I am quite crazy about the outer blanket shirt. Perfect layer. You can dress up top or bottom. I wish I had 10 of them.
Favorite design shop to visit (online or direct)?
Our friend, Meg, runs modern love in French Town, New Jersey, and carries all of our dreams. When we are there, we always find the absolutely necessary Japanese office supplies and beautiful weave baths.
What are you looking for?
My friend Claire V has a new collaboration with the school building. And I love school houses and everything I love Claire V, so of course their collaboration is perfect. I look at the bright red lamp they did.
Is there anything else you want to know?
I am currently arranging linen closets with tongue and groove cedar to build cedar shelves. And we convert small rooms into “perfect”. It has a cozy and exciting day bed built from an old twin bed frame. Please look forward to that! And I’m very slowly trying to teach myself to rendering 3D computers, so I can plan and imagine future houses and garden projects. But that’s a complete slow for me. It is difficult.
