My Home Tours

When my Carmel by the Sea home appeared in Apartment Therapy, San Francisco this Spring, the response was pretty overwhelming. So I created a home set on Flickr to better detail some of my homes and things in them. But still there was requests of a quicker home tour gallery on Hygge House.

Thanks for putting this together, Alex.
I really admire your warm, clean, and simple aesthetic in these spaces. Nothing is too spare, austere, or pared down in such a way as to look “clinical” (the latter being the trouble with Martha Stewart [sometimes]).

So, again, Congrats!, and bring on the pictures!!!
