If your house feels a little off right now, it’s usually not because you need more stuff... it’s because what you have isn’t working.

Comment ‘RESET’ and I’ll send you the home reset list we always start with.

Think: containers that make your pantry make sense, closet tools that stop the chaos, bathroom pieces that keep things out but still pretty, and outdoor pieces that help you get ahead of spring instead of scrambling for it. Sometimes it’s the simplest fixes that make your home feel more like a representation of you!

Before we sketch a floor plan or source furniture, we sit with the house and let it speak a little.

For the 6th Street Bungalow, this step was especially important. The house has its own personality, and the flatlay helps us study it from every angle.

It lets us play, make changes early, test combinations, and make sure each material has a reason for being there. Nothing is theoretical at this stage.

We want to feel the stone, the fabrics, the wood tones, the finishes, and see how they interact from room to room.

The flatlay becomes our anchor — a visual blueprint that keeps the design cohesive while giving us room to refine as we go. It’s a crucial part of our process and one of the most valuable tools for creating a home that feels intentional, personal, and true to the architecture.

We don’t track “bestsellers” because they’re trendy. We track them because they tell a story about how people actually live.

These are the 50 pieces our community bought, re-bought, saved, and kept coming back for in 2025 — across wardrobe, home, renovation, hosting, and everyday life.

Think of it less like a shopping list and more like a snapshot of what worked: what held up, what felt good to use, and what people didn’t regret buying.
We broke it all down in yesterday’s blog, but I also put the full bestseller list into a quick, easy guide if you just want the highlights.

Hang in there for me on this one (I feel very passionately about this topic 😂). One of the things we care most about when designing homes is where the pieces come from. Vintage and antique sourcing isn’t just about finding something “different”... It’s about choosing pieces that already carry a story.

The truth is, the most memorable rooms aren’t built all at once or off a single shopping list. They’re layered over time. A chair with worn arms. A table that’s been repaired more than once. A piece you weren’t looking for, but couldn’t leave behind. Those are the things that give a home its soul.

When you bring vintage into a space, you’re investing in more than furniture. You’re investing in craftsmanship that’s hard to replicate today, materials that have already stood the test of time, and details modern manufacturing simply doesn’t prioritize anymore. And there’s something deeply satisfying about living with pieces that feel personal.

This is why we source the way we do. Not to fill a room, but to give it meaning. Collected doesn’t mean cluttered. It means intentional, patient, and a little emotional (in the best way).

A home should feel lived in, loved, and uniquely yours.
