I believe in beauty. I believe it is everywhere. I believe it is powerful, healing and available to us at any moment, if we pause to discover it or create it.

Since my son went blind, I realized beauty isn’t just pretty. He experiences beauty constantly, and he helped me realize that beauty exists in dimensions far beyond vision. There is an immersive, experiential quality of beauty that I hope to capture here.

May you discover some beautiful inspiration (and a smile)! XO, L

My son used to be obsessed with Legos, which we still find (and occasionally step on) around our home. His favorite bricks were the "goldens". They were a slightly metallic brown color. But in his mind, they were magical treasures. They were goldens! Like my little guy, I too find a hint (and sometimes more) of gold sends a shock of excitement through my system. I love adding a golden layer to the spaces I design because those tiny, visual moments make me think of my son and his goldens, create a “bright spot” and spark joy. Here’s some golden inspiration for you and every corner of your home. XO, L
