I just ran an event with homeowners Ian and Ros- a creative couple aged 86 and 77 - who had us spellbound in a thought-provoking and insightful conversation that explored the evolution of their unconventional home through the lens of a creative and well-lived life. Their combined wisdoms included:
- Build your living environment around your memories - Ian’s many homes around the world are all represented in the current residence.
- Live within you means - build only what you need and add more when you have the resources.
- Don’t build for re-sale - know yourself and build for you, now, not someone else in an imagined future.
- Don’t be afraid to be different and don’t over-think - put your ideas into action and be spontaneous.
Some food for thought and a weight off the shoulders of those of us who spend too much time thinking about what could be and not enough enacting it (I speak for myself here, haha!) x
Pippa! I just love this insight. Ian and Ros have some jewels in there. The amount of times people think about resale!! Just make it special, and unique, and yours. Totally love it xx
