stories to tell
There are few rooms more covetable, in my book, than a library. I absolutely love a good page-turner (although I am much more sporadic in my reading habits than my two bookworm sisters). And while I try and read each night before bed, some of my favourite moments are being curled up on a couch, TV off, kids in their rooms, devouring my latest recommendation late into the night – holidays or not. But oh, to have a specific space to do this in! The concept of a home library has such an old-world-y feel to it, somewhere to retreat to after dinner for a nightcap and a few board games with Mr Darcy; but in today’s world, where staying in is the new going out, and we’re increasingly repurposing rooms…

5 minutes with: fabio paulucci
What inspired you to start building tiny homes? Fabio: “I saw that many of us are living in large houses that we can’t afford, with higher walls between us and the community, smaller blocks of land and more concrete than nature around us.
