Dear friend, you might compare yourself to co-workers or friends who just seem to "have it all together" and wonder what the heck is wrong with you. Adults are supposed to have life figured out...right? But just like in home design, growth and refinement take time—it’s all about evolving into the best version of yourself.
Stop the comparison
This Valentine's Day, don't compare yourself to your best friend or to your worst enemy. Compare yourself to the you that lived last year.
Do you hold disdain for that person or compassion? Do you speak kindly to that person? Do you have empathy for the less experienced version of you? Small moments of self-reflection—just like thoughtfully designing your space—can create a sense of peace and comfort in everyday life. Whether it’s in life or home design, the details matter.
You are valued & loved
For most of us, our inner critic speaks harshly. We say things to ourselves that we'd never say to our child, our spouse, or even to a stranger on the street.
Be kind to yourself, not because you did something special to deserve it but because you are intrinsically valued and loved. Kindness and patience with yourself will help you bring more of those qualities to your community. The same philosophy applies to creating a home that nurtures you—intentional choices in interior design can transform your space into a true reflection of who you are. And just like you deserve kindness, your home deserves thoughtful touches—interior design choices that make it a true reflection of you.
Your existence isn’t an accident
Right now, we all need a little more kindness in our lives.
Whether you are celebrating Valentine's Day the traditional way, making it a day with friends, or skipping it entirely—I hope you know how much you matter, simply because you exist. And if surrounding yourself with beauty and comfort helps reinforce that message, thoughtful updates in home decor can help make your space feel like a true sanctuary.
