Why do our couches face walls instead of windows?

Why is it that…

* In all of the homes we’ve owned and renovated.

* In most of the spaces I save on Pinterest.

* In a lot of the Airbnb’s and short terms rentals we’ve stayed in.

….. the furniture faces away from nature. Typically oriented towards the wall?

For me, I know it’s been about the TV.

Don’t worry- this is not a technology rant (but it does feel like a subtle commentary on what we’ve subconsciously been deeming as most important- right?)

As I’ve been slowing down, getting more intentional and tuning into myself - I’ve also noticed a pull to pivot my priorities, the way I’m spending my time and to bring the outside in.

And that’s the point. As we’ve been living in our house more- not just using it as a landing pad to crash in at the end of the day, I’m realizing that there is so much more out there that I’m often missing.

I don’t want to get so wrapped up in the things around me that I miss the beauty in front of me (in so many ways- more than just my view at home but in my mothering and creative expression too.✨)

This beautiful world we’re creating within our home belongs intertwined with and expanded by the world outside too.

That’s why we’re focusing on debt-free living, traveling and being out in nature more when we are home.

So as we’re designing our dream tiny-ish house…

Here’s what I’m doing differently- how I’m intentionally creating our space our way.

And if you didn’t check out my recent post on why we’re going debt free you can read all about it here.

So now I’m curious….

👇🏻 How are you creating your space, your way?
