Is It Impossible To Design An Authentic Home?

Here's what I'm starting to realize: maybe our homes aren't meant to be a perfect mirror of who we are right now . Maybe they're more like journals—capturing pieces of us at different points in time—layers of our experiences, our values, and the people we love, all woven together into something that's still unfolding.

It's a deep insecurity of mine that my home doesn't feel like an actual portal into the depths of my soul. Facilitating authentic design is, after all, what I do for a living.
