Turn off those damn ceiling lights

Intentional lighting feels cathartic - it signals intention behind spaces - this seat is for a quiet book, this room is for slow down before bed, this table is for a hearty conversation and dinner. Lights outside your home signal an invitation; this home is lived in, this home is alive.

"... I believe that if you want something you can make it happen. Not magically but by doing everything in your power. I have never been a person who planned her future or had a five year plan, I just trust my gut and go. No excuses..."
Julia McCarthy

Rachel Gilbert
"...I heard a great quote the other day that resonated with me. “If the door closes, find a window and climb through it” I am a strong believer in knowing there is always a solution, it is just about being open to look for another way..."
Tessa James

Claire Delmar

Tiffany Howell
"...I believe in the genius of mistakes. Although ideas are often personalized per project, sometimes when you work through them you realize they don’t belong. I trust that most ideas are born for a reason, and they may actually have been manifested for a future creation..."
Bronte Taton
"...Being a working mom has made me appreciate the time I have with my daughter even more. I make a conscious effort to be present when I'm around her. Her current age is beautiful in itself, as she notices the little things like bees on flowers and the birds. Sometimes, it's nice to slow down and appreciate the small moments, blocking out the negative and fostering good energy for the creative process.. "
