I have been thinking a lot about home lately- well ok always, but particularly lately. Maybe because I seem to see so little of mine these days, as I write this I am several hundred miles from my home and family on location. Don't get me wrong I love to travel, and after several years of being fairly home bound work wise with small children- I am thrilled to be on the go again. But I do love, obsess about and miss my home. My husband and I have a lovely home, but when you combine an architect and a stylist the urge to move, build, remodel, change just for the sake of it is hard to let go of. We have about a million design sketches for a possible new home and perhaps someday soon will take the leap. Right now I am on Martha's Vineyard, being here or places like here where family's come back year after year, sometimes for several generations is such an amazing feeling. Over the weekend I was at a gathering for a dear family friend. She lives on an incredible piece of farm land with a 200 year old stone house. At one point in the party she and her husband along with their now grown children were talking about first finding the house-and knowing deeply that it was home. I want to make sure to have created that for my family, it's not all about style-
So.........home means- Color!
It means a sunny place to eat.

I am lucky to be able to spend a fair amount of time home working and with my kids, so it means a great home office.
