home + joy

“Just living isn’t enough…one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Hans Christian Andersen

What little flowers inhabit your home? What items bring sunshine and joy to your life and how can you incorporate them into the essence of your home?

“Wood scraps - 50 cents each” is what the sign said at one of my favorite local vintage shops. For some reason, those teardrop-shaped wood scraps made me smile, and for no other reason, I loaded up a little basket of them and brought them into our home. Those little wood scraps have been in all sorts of vessels around our house and they still make me smile. There’s something peculiar about them that always brings me back to the present moment as I stop to wonder what sort of end product results in this particular scrap? As a biophilic design enthusiast, there’s so much to appreciate about their organic shape and natural texture.

While some people find that having fewer items in their homes sparks joy, others are delighted to have a variety of pieces; art, plants, treasures from travel, family keepsakes. Regardless of your preference, Home Joy Studio would be honored to help you curate a home that brings you sunshine…and a little flower.
