Dearest Readers,

Happy New Year!!! Our first issue of this year is live and we are super excited. As we step into the embrace of January, saying hello to 2024, I find myself reflecting on the beauty of beginnings. It’s a month that whispers promises of fresh starts, cozy moments, and the joy of creating spaces that resonate with warmth and personality. This January, let our homes be a canvas for love and laughter, a sanctuary where memories are made and design becomes an extension of our stories. Picture evenings wrapped in soft blankets, sipping hot cocoa by candlelight, and the gentle hum of heartfelt conversations echoing through well-curated spaces.

Let us extend our heartfelt prayers to those enduring the harshness of winter in the midst of conflict, deprived of shelter and peace. May warmth find its way to them, wrapping them in solace, and may the winds of compassion blow away the chill of adversity. In the face of the trials of war, let our collective hopes be a beacon, offering comfort to those in need, and may the world unite in seeking enduring solutions to bring an end to their struggles.

So, here’s to a month of nesting, of design dreams taking flight, and to homes that welcome us with open arms, saying, “Come in, be yourself, and let’s make this year extraordinary.” Hope you enjoy this month’s issue, we will be waiting for your feedback, love & support. Wishing you a January filled with the magic of design and the warmth of home.

With love, Sonya
