Clearing space isn’t just about getting rid of clutter — it’s about learning to sit in the liminal void between what was and what’s coming next. In this edition of Myth & Matter, we explore why emptiness can feel so uncomfortable, why we rush to fill it, and how embracing that in-between space can open us to clarity, healing, and unexpected magic

High-end design doesn’t have to stay on magazine covers. In this edition of Alchemy in Action: The Glow-Down, we break down a dining room by NoNo Studio, featured in Architectural Digest, using The Foundry Formula step by step. From clearing space and curating color to adding layered lighting and elemental touches, this room proves that balance, warmth, and intentional design can be translated into any home

Clearing space isn’t about chasing minimalist perfection — it’s about connecting with yourself, your values, and what you truly want your home to hold. In Craft & Catalyst, I share practical clearing practices that actually stick, from creating a replacement rule to building rituals around letting go. These aren’t one-time purges — they’re intentional habits that help you stop the cycle of clutter and start building a home that feels aligned with who you are today

Clearing space isn’t just about tidying up — it’s about releasing stagnant energy, old stories, and emotions hidden in the corners of your home. When we let go of what no longer serves us, we create room for clarity, creativity, and renewal to flow in. Step one of The Foundry Formula is simple but profound: by clearing the physical and emotional clutter, we signal to ourselves that it’s time for something new.

At summer’s end, the earth slows, but do you? Instead of rushing to buy seasonal décor, try small rituals to get to know the time between seasons: a hand-gathered bouquet, a bowl of ripe fruit, herbs hung to dry, or a simple pause to notice shifting light. These moments bring presence, beauty, and gratitude into your home- and they’re basically free.

Home design made easy, affordable and fun. You don’t need a designer or a massive overhaul- you just need a creative spark and a little guidance.

Alchemy inspired by you.
