I’m featuring some work from Nate Berkus Associates tonight. I love the warm tones that still read as subtle, and the layers and layers of interest in the decorating and styling. Not to mention great floor-planning and layout. Enjoy!
House Rule #2: Create places of retreat

I’m writing about my “House Rules” this week - a few things I want to keep in mind when it comes to creating our future home.
Rule #2 is to create places of retreat. I’m an introvert, and sometimes I need a place to curl up and escape it all. As a kid I used to even go sit in my tiny closet on a pile of my shoes in the dark. Even though I had my own room. The house we plan to build is quite open concept - which is not usually the way I’d go, so I want to really prioritize creating places of retreat. Things like a window seat, or a chair in a corner, or a little tent.
