I grew up on a small island where everything old had a purpose.

Maybe that’s why I love design with character β€” homes that mix clean lines with creaky floors, and furniture that’s been around longer than I have. This page is a collection of those things: classic pieces, renovation stories, and ideas for creating spaces that feel thoughtful, warm, and yours. From flea market finds to design legends β€” welcome to how I live.
