Reads delicious, as usual. I’m glad you’re out and doing. I’m back in Berlin, slipping into a bar mitzvah tonight … my first, very excited I am.

I feel the warmth of the Janzen home through your words, links and pictures. What a lucky, lovey family. And Jane, I’m so glad you’re being gifted these opportunities to live in homes filled with familial love. When you come back to Tucson, there’s one more here for you to hang out in for a while. Blessings to you in Reno.

I can’t tell you how much your visit meant to us Jane. Especially me. I have always wished I had a sister to share my hopes, dreams and challenges with. If I could chose one for myself it would most definitely be you. In the couple of days you were here you inspired me, entertained me, and became family. Your wisdom and ability to be vulnerable and share your life experiences openly is something I wish everybody had the ability to do. I admire so much about you. Too much to write in a comment box. I miss our conversations already. Thanks for the thoughtful article… and NOT getting your camera out and photographing all my clutter. LoL We can’t wait to read about your next stop.
Warmly,
Julia
p.s.
I highly recommend to anybody who wishes to have your heart opened up a little to welcome Jane into your home and hearts. I’m sure you will treasure her as much as we have.

Thanks for the great article Jane! ;-D We all had a great time having you stay with us.

The link in the article goes to my most popular blog, Tiny House Design. You can see photos of my tiny house under construction there too but it’s a little harder to find; you’ll need to click “Tiny Free House” in the navigation at the top of the page.

My interior design aesthetic can be summarized by one word “cozy.” I like casual spaces featuring warm colors, natural light, casual to comfortable furnishings, touches of nature, lots of wood, and lots of art. I believe in the transforming power of a fireplace and have one in my dining room that we use a lot.

I like a home to be lived in but not too messy and to be pleasing to the eye (which can translate into a lot of different looks). My furnishings are more traditional than modern because I inherited a lot of them. I don’t like houses that look “done.” I like them to reflect the history of the occupant, not just what’s “in” at the moment. My husband is Belgian and part of our house has an Old World feel to it. It is not my “style” but it is my history, and I love it for that.
