Room by Room – What Our Homes Can Teach Us About Life
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we often measure life in milestones or decades.
Our 20s are for figuring it all out (or trying to).
Our 30s are for settling down—or sometimes for settling into the beautiful chaos of raising babies, chasing toddlers, and wondering why your once-pristine living room is now a sea of Legos and Goldfish crumbs.
Our 40s? That’s when we start to really lean into who we are, and what we want the spaces around us to reflect.
But what if we stopped thinking of life in years… and started thinking of it in rooms?
I’ve come to love this metaphor. After all, I live and breathe rooms every single day at Lennox Road Interiors. But more than that—I’ve lived this for myself.
Rooms aren’t just physical spaces. They’re markers of life’s seasons, moments, and transitions. They hold our stories, sometimes more than we realize.
Think about it:
The nursery, where new life begins—where sleepy 2 a.m. feedings happen, where lullabies are whispered softly in the dark, and where a single rocking chair becomes your entire world for a little while.
The bathroom (yes, the bathroom!)—where reinvigoration happens. It’s the space where we wake up, splash water on our faces, and say to ourselves “Okay, I can do this.” It’s also where we soak off long days, take a breath, and sometimes maybe even hide from the kids for five whole, glorious, minutes.
The family room, where memories are made—movie nights with popcorn, forts built with couch cushions & throws, and the occasional sibling squabble that hopefully gets resolved with a simple group hug.
The kitchen, the true heart of the home—where glasses of wine are shared, where kiddos sit to do homework at the island, morning coffee is poured, and life unfolds in all its beautiful mess.
The bedroom, a sanctuary—where rest happens, where dreams are dreamed, where we can exhale fully at the end of a long day.
And sometimes, there are rooms we shut the door on for a while. Spaces that aren’t quite ready to be filled, or that need time to evolve. I know this firsthand—I once stood in a house that was supposed to be filled with a future I had imagined. And though life shifted, I stayed. Truthfully, I am still working to make the space my own, one intentional choice at a time…
Because here’s the thing: home is never really finished, and neither are we.
At Lennox Road Interiors, we don’t just decorate rooms—we help you design the life you want to live in. Your home should grow with you:
✨ through seasons of love, loss, and new beginnings
✨ through the sticky fingerprints and scattered dog toys
✨ through the quiet mornings and loud family dinners
✨ through the reinvention of who you are becoming
Whether you’re ready to refresh a tired bathroom, create a nursery for a long-awaited little one, or redesign your entire home to fit the life you’re building now—no matter what room of life you may be in—we’re here for the journey.
AND…
This month, we’re excited to share something a little special — a free reflection journal to help you design a life (and home) you love. Download The Rooms of Your Life here!
