Welcome to this month’s homes issue. As always, our writers develop articles with you, Readers, top of mind. The goal is to not only highlight local businesses and people, but to offer doses of inspiration and creativity for your lives. This month is no exception, and I hope you find fresh ways to make your homes restful, joyous and more of what you want out of your nest.
After reading this issue’s articles, I was reminded that there is an area in my home that suffers from lack of design attention and updating—the primary bedroom and bath suite. Who’s with me on this one?
Where to start!? Those spaces have become the official landing pad of this, that and everything in between—laundry in various stages of drying and folding; photos, waiting for their new homes in a stack of empty frames; gifts for that holiday or this birthday; and books, begging to have their pages turned and words consumed. This, my friends, is not the restful space I envision—or deserve.
Are you like me? Do other spaces in your home sit at the top of the list when it comes to serious updating and décor tweaks? While I know ramping up the restorative vibe of the primary bedroom really wouldn’t take much doing—the bathroom is another matter—I seem to have a mental block when it comes to this space. After reading Jennifer Pitterle’s article about Timber & Tulip in Wayzata, I have renewed inspiration to create a space that awakens each day with fresh energy and bids each night sweet and rest filled dreams.
What space are you inspired to transform? Happy dreaming, planning and changing!
Until next month,
—Renée Stewart-Hester
