A beautifully set table does something that no amount of room decor can fully replicate, it signals that someone was expected. That thought was put in. That this meal, this gathering, this moment was worth preparing for. I think about that every time I see a table laid out with intention, even a simple one….
There is something about a balcony that feels like the most honest square footage in any apartment. It is small, exposed, a little impractical, and completely yours. I have always thought that a balcony styled with even a few intentional objects says more about how someone lives than a whole living room full of furniture….

Red, white, and blue carry a lot of weight as colors. They mean something.
