Today would have been my dad’s 90th birthday.

It’s hard to believe he’s been gone since 2021, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He lived a full life between Wisconsin and Florida, and wherever he was, he made friends easily.

I’m grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the example he set. Happy 90th Birthday, Dad. You are deeply missed and always remembered. ❤️

It was an honor to visit — a truly thoughtful home inspired by the Swedish philosophy of “mysa,” centered around comfort, connection, and intentional living. Thank you for the invite! We also enjoyed ! 😊

Rooted in Scandinavian design, the home blends natural materials, wellness-focused spaces, soft light, and functional simplicity in a way that feels both calming and deeply livable. From the emphasis on gathering spaces to the connection between architecture and wellness, every detail was designed with purpose. A beautiful reminder that home is not just about how a space looks, but how it makes you feel.
