@houseofheron ‘Congrats on the house! What are you planning for the entry?’ Me: A library. This space was always in our floorplans, but I had no idea it would become the room we use the most. The kids read here, we unwind here, and it’s the first place everyone goes when they walk through the door. It taught me something I wish more people heard during the build process: You’re allowed to design for the life you actually live… not the one people expect. If you want a library instead of an entry? Do it. If you want a mudroom instead of a dining room? Do it. Your home should work for you — not for a checklist. If you want help reimagining your own space, comment ‘discover’. And if you want the exact layout + dimensions of our home, comment ‘floorplans’. #HouseOfHeron #LibraryDesign #HomeDesignInspo #CustomHomeJourney #MoodyInteriors #BeforeAndAfterHome #InteriorReels #DesignForRealLife #HomeDetails #CozyHomeVibes #HomeDesignTips #InteriorTransformation #DarkAcademiaHome #Floorplans #HomeInspiration
