Did you wake up today thinking, “I can’t wait to jump out of bed — it’s going to be a lovely day”? I hope so. Even if Mondays don’t always feel inspiring, I like to cultivate a mindset of seeking loveliness. Today I’m sharing a few photographs that made me feel that way.

When I design my home, I try to shape the mood I want for my life. I want a space that looks beautiful, yes, but also matters to our family—one that fosters belonging, calm, joy, and comfort.

Have you considered the kind of life you want and how your home could reflect it?

Update 2022: I wrote a book called A Lovely Life. It’s meant to inspire you to shape the life and home you want—not by chasing perfection, but by noticing and elevating everyday beauty in every season.

A Lovely Life is available wherever books are sold. If you’re interested in preorder bonuses that were offered around the book’s release, please check official retailers or the publisher for details.
