A shelf that changes
One surface, cleared, given over to whatever the season is doing. Branches in spring, seed heads in autumn. It costs nothing and marks the year.
How we do it ↗︎A house becomes a home slowly, in layers — the things you chose carefully, and the things that simply arrived and stayed.
We are not interested in a house that looks untouched. We are interested in the pottery you use every morning, the blanket that has been washed a hundred times, and the shelf where the children's findings get laid out like a small museum.
None of them take long. All of them change how a room feels.

How we do it ↗︎Natural materials age instead of wearing out. Choose things that will look better in five years than they do on the day they arrive.
