Those color palettes!

Do you find that colors help shape your mood at all?

I like soft colors, like pastels, so that probably keeps my home feeling calm and serene.

Does your home shift with the seasons?

Are there any changes you’re making as we head into spring?

I painted the yellow ceiling pink, for instance.

Your space looks so fresh and spotless: What is your cleaning routine like?

Any cleaning techniques or products you especially love?

I usually usemethodproducts because they smell so good.

What object in your home brings you the most joy and why?

Probably my record player.

What’s the oldest thing in your home?

The newest is my blue storage cabinet, which is the perfect blue to match my woodwork.

What noises can be heard in your home?

What smells are there?

I’m not a big cook, so there’s not usually anything on the stove.

It’s more likely the smell offruity candles.

What does the wordhomemean to you?

That’s a difficult one.

This is my first nonrented home, and it has been amazing renovating it.
