New beginnings. With any good book, the beginning can really set the tone for what to expect in the pages ahead. A good book can not only take you on an adventure outside of your own world but the best books can transform the way you think about your own reality when you put it back on the table until the next read. When I think about some of the best books I’ve read recently, I’ve felt inspired to do good things in my life. I’ve been inspired to try new recipes of the season; I’ve been inspired by taking from others’ personal stories to prioritizing my own health and well-being; I’ve even been inspired to be an inspiration to others. I like to think that stepping into a home can do the same for you- inspire.
When you settle into your home, much like that good book, you want to feel connected and inspired in a way you aren’t going to feel anywhere else in the world. Whether you’re refreshing a room and getting ready for a new season, putting together a new daily schedule because your obligations have changed, or trying out new recipes because you’re hosting the next big family celebration- your home should inspire you and make you feel like the best version of yourself.
Over the last two decades as my family has grown and we’ve moved from house to house, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is to start each new beginning with the intention of creating connection between my home and my life. I’ve grown to love the tiny details that make new beginnings so special.
My hope for you is that you come along with us on our journey through the seasons of life and find something at Opal Street Collection that inspires your new beginnings and sets the tone for what you want your life to be. Whether you find that perfect piece in our shop that pulls together a room in your house or read the “just in time” words of encouragement from our journal that inspires you to good things, I hope you find your place here at Opal Street.
Always,
