Fall is settling into The Meadow, and we finally had our first true quiet autumn here since finishing the house. We spent the day together gardening, cooking, and ending it with an outdoor Harry Potter concert under the stars. If you need a calm moment today, the new episode is live now.

Today’s the day! Part 1 of our Meadow house tour is live. We start in the entry and meander through the living room, kitchen, pantry, family room, orangery, and our bedroom/bath with the outdoor shower garden. It’s fairy-tale modern with lots of natural textures.

✨ New Episode | The Meadow Ep. 37
Fairy tales taught me to dream — and after years of imagining, building, and creating, that dream has finally taken shape in our family’s forever home.
This episode is a mix of heartfelt reflection and creative finishing touches as we prepare the house for my fifth book and our long-awaited house tour. 🌿

Everyday life is full of beauty — if we slow down enough to notice. 🌿
In this week’s episode of The Meadow, we share the small joys of harvesting from the garden, chasing geese in the rain, cozying up in new window seats, and even solving a bat problem (yes, really 🦇).

🌿 White oak floors + black windows for a grounded, natural vibe
