Want a Fresh Start for the New Year? Hereโ€™s My Secret Weapon

January 16, 2025 · In: Interior Design

Every year between Christmas and New Yearโ€™s, I carve out a few days to relax, recharge, and dream up what I want for the year ahead. Thereโ€™s no set planโ€”I just find myself cozy on the couch in my favorite pajamas, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, surrounded by a stack of books. It feels a little like Harry Potter when the Sorting Hat decides which house youโ€™re inโ€”except in my case, the books seem to choose me! I wander through my shelves, and the ones that spark my curiosity practically leap into my hands.

These arenโ€™t just any books, though. I look for ones that push me to think differently, to see things in a new light. Some of them are old favorites, books Iโ€™ve loved for years, but when they land in my year-end pile, itโ€™s time to rediscover them with fresh eyes.

This year, Iโ€™m feeling a deep pull to weave more romance into the modernโ€”both inside my home and in the garden. I want spaces that feel layered, textured, and timeless, with that touch of magic that makes your heart skip a beat.

Designing a home isnโ€™t a โ€œone and doneโ€ thing. Life evolves, and our spaces can evolve with it. For me, books are where it all beginsโ€”they spark ideas, challenge my perspective, and help me reimagine whatโ€™s possible in my own home. Itโ€™s a tradition I look forward to every year, and it never fails to inspire something new and beautiful. Check out my favorites below!
