The overlapping rugs beneath our feet create an inviting warmth, layering patterns that evoke comfort and a sense of home.
This space illustrates an appreciation for both practicality and beauty, making it a true representation of individual interests. Embracing this new chapter in Seattle, every detail of the home speaks to a love for design and a commitment to creating a welcoming environment.
