Musings on the benefits of age

March 6, 2026 · In: Fridays with V, Interior Design

Time is rarely portrayed as a friend.  It’s seen as an enemy, a thing to hide, a thing to try to erase, but when it comes to our lives it’s the very thing we should be celebrating.  It’s the one thing we can’t print more of, therefore it is a gift!  When it comes to interiors, with age comes character, and the more you get of it, the payoff is exponential.  The Japanese use a word called Wabi to describe this phenomenon – the beauty that comes with age and imperfection.  They like to pair that up with the word sabi, which conveys the idea of serenity.

Those two paired up are a match made in absolute heaven!

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the budget friendly links! 👏🏽 

Guys! I genuinely believe that creating a beautiful and magical space doesn’t have to break the bank! A few key budget friendly purchases and styling hacks can completely transform a space! From Amazon to Target to flea markets and Wayfair, we brought together a space that our son, Parker, will love! Don’t forget that clipping greenery from your own bushes and diy’ing your own art are just a couple ways you can create for free! XxV

Comment SPRING for all the links!

This Spring I decided to do something crazy…..I made BIG changes! It wasn’t about a color, it was about a life! I wanted to LIVE, to bake, to entertain, to laugh, to garden. So I brought in blue, bought new plants, started baking and it has been AMAZING!!!! It’s like floating in a beautiful fantasy world!

You are only going to get one life so why not live it with every drop of your heart, mind, body, and soul…. And a touch of blue!
