I'm a practical person. So when it comes to my home, I want everything to have a purpose, not just be fluffy design "stuff". It must be easy for everyday life  (hello, kids!) as well as a space guests gravitate towards and instantly feel comfortable in. I also have sensory needs so I apply all of my nervous-system regulating principals in my own space. You see it in how I keep things very monochromatic, avoid bright colors, use lots of vintage, and layer texture upon texture.
