Nuture: Connect With Your Authentic Self
Now it’s time to add dashes of your personality by expressing your uniqueness with just the right ingredients. Enhance your decor with favorite books, movies, posters, photos, and mementos. Find ways to reflect your life experiences, passions, quirks, and sense of humor. Create a feeling of familiarity by displaying cherished phots and keepsakes.
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
Decorate with handcrafted objects and artwork. Handmade clay and ceramics make lovely accents. Choose meaningful, decorative tile for the kitchen and bathrooms. Infuse everyday objects with surprising modern touches and hidden technology, such as USB outlets or Bluetooth connectivity.
Express yourself, honor your heritage and help the earth by repurposing meaningful items. Repaint furniture and add new hardware to update and personalize a cherished family treasure. Restoring original wood and other finishes to their former glory is a great way to preserve sentimental pieces without sacrificing your style.
Place reminders of what inspires you on a hutch or bookshelf, and pin favorite photos or quotes on a bulletin board. Use repurposed furniture for shelving and storage. Give yourself bonus points for working in an area with natural light and low household traffic. Consider setting up a quiet space for video calls, even if its not in the same room as your workspace.
