“‘Home’ is sitting on the countertop while your husband cooks eggs in the morning,” she says. “It is the giggling you hear in the hallway when you chase and tickle your 2-year-old. ‘Home’ is clipping fresh basil from the garden and brewing afternoon tea on a sunny day.”
So when the Waken Creative Studio founder moved from Houston, Texas, with her husband and son in July 2020, they made sure to look for a place that would help them make memories. They landed in the Barracks Rugby neighborhood in a three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1920s Colonial Revival bungalow. Wilson fell in love with the arched doorways.
Since moving in, the living room has become the small family’s favorite spot: Flooded with natural light through its original pane windows, it features a view of trees and climbing ivy on the house’s exterior.
What it comes down to, Wilson says, is that home is more of a feeling. “It’s a place to build the sweet moments of your life with your most precious people.”
