by christina britt lewis they live in an old noda mill house full of character and charm. they love paris, asheville, and their big blended family. they believe love is love and kindness is everything. they want a home that feels warm, inviting, cozy, fun, functional, and stylish but not trendy. they hope to love coming home. that's where we come in... before... after... before... after... before... after... before... after... making homes happy, xo... christina for all danish modern design. my heart be still. they know what they love, they just don't know how to make it all come together. they even already had the sectional that looks custom designed for the space. we found it in the bonus room and switched it for the sofa and chairs... before... after... before... after... before... after... before... after... xo... christina for all ...knew it was gonna be a good one when the rug they already had matched my shirt. they are the the sweetest little family. she just wants him to be happy, he just wants her to be happy. that right there, you guys, that is how you have a happy home. peace is possible. right here. right now. at home. before... after... before... after... xo... christina for all they let go of excess. they chose less over more. they decided bigger is not always better. they moved only what they need and love to 1500 square feet in the city. they are my heroes. the new view for this fun family of five plus pup... we loved helping them figure out what to keep and what to let go. creating the home you hope for with the stuff you already have is our thing. you do not need new everything to have a happy home. for real... before... after... before... after... before... after... before... after... before... after... helping this happy family downsize makes me want to downsize all over again. it's been a while... 14 years since we walked away from everything we knew and started over. when we choose to live with less, less stuff, less noise, less strife, less distraction... we make space for more of what matters, more peace, more quiet, more fun, more time with the ones we love. we don't have to move to find freedom from excess. freedom is ours for the taking. right here. right now. xo... christina for all making what you already have look great in your new home can be super tricky. so people buy new stuff hoping that will solve the problem. the first thing we always say is... "STOP BUYING STUFF!" you do not need new everything to have a happy home. before... after... all stuff they already have, just redesigned. plus plants because plants are everything and cost hardly anything. before... after... before... after... a few new things in the girl's room make what they already have look even better than it did before. when it comes to lighting, and, well, most things... it doesn't have to be expensive to be beautiful. before... after... and seriously after on a rooftop in soho... just in case you missed it, kelly and i are deliberately undesignerly. we make a living encouraging people to spend less. lol... we would rather see you go away with the ones you love than remodel your bathroom. most designers dream of being published in a magazine, i suppose. our dream is to make homes happy. we believe this is how we change the world, one home at a time. xo... christina for all |
