Soothing Spaces for a Hectic Month

With five trips already lined up, October is shaping up to be busier than I'd thought. Though the traveler in me will never tire of boarding a plane, I crave nothing more than a quiet weekend at home to catch up on my life.

When I'm feeling this way - stretched thin and scheduled to the bone - I find myself reaching more than ever to soothing spaces like these.

I prefer my thrills and excitement to come from the life I lead, not the space I live in. And this home is speaking to me. The dark chocolate browns, glossy blacks, creamy whites, and natural elements throughout make it the perfect calming oasis.

It reminds me what it is I love about the concept of home. For me home is my silence. My privacy. My secret haven. A warm embrace at the end of a long day.

So I'm curious to know, what does home mean to you?
