Did you wake up today thinking, “I can’t wait to leap out of bed—this will be such a lovely day”? I hope so, though I know Mondays and busy weeks don’t always feel that way. Still, I strive to live a life filled with more loveliness, so I’m sharing a few photos that inspired me this morning.

I try to imagine the mood I want for my life and then shape my home to reflect it. I don’t only want a house that looks beautiful; I want a home that matters to our family—one that fosters belonging, calm, joy, and comfort.

Have you considered the kind of life you want to live and how your home could help express and support it?

Update 2022: I wrote a book titled A Lovely Life. It’s meant to inspire you to create the kind of life and home that suit you and the people you love. The book isn’t about perfection—instead it’s about appreciating ordinary moments and finding everyday beauty in every season.

A Lovely Life is available wherever books are sold.
