Finding Joy in Life’s Little Moments
The sunrise in our home is a truly magical moment. Golden light cascades through antique glass windows, casting ethereal ripple patterns across walls and ceiling. The warm peach tones transform our space, reminding us of the extraordinary beauty surrounding us.
Capturing Moments of Bliss
Life offers fleeting, precious moments of pure joy - snapshots that transport us instantly. Whether it's a glimpse of the Oregon coastline from a ferry, a beam of light dancing through an office window, or a perfectly captured instant, these experiences connect us to our deepest emotions.
The Essence of Contentment
Happiness isn't grand or complicated. It's found in the subtle sensations that speak to our souls - the gentle warmth of a fire contrasting with snow-covered landscapes, or the rhythmic melody of rain tapping on a roof. These moments are deeply personal yet universally understood.
Inspiration Beyond the Ordinary
Design, like happiness, often emerges from unexpected sources. I recall a project inspired by a simple postcard - a lavender flower with a vibrant orange center. Transforming an industrial garage into a home, we captured the delicate color palette and unexpected beauty, ultimately earning recognition from Dwell Magazine.
