About

The In Between Home is a record of rebuilding, one room, one system, one deliberate choice at a time.

I started this publication during a period of significant transition. I moved out of a long-held family home and into an apartment with almost nothing beyond personal items and what fit in my car. I slept on an air mattress, unpacked slowly, and began rebuilding from the ground up, physically, logistically, and emotionally.

This is not a divorce blog in the sensational sense. I don’t document conflict, assign blame, or relitigate the past. What I’m interested in is the quieter work that follows: creating stability after disruption, making thoughtful decisions when resources (time, energy, emotional bandwidth) are limited, and building a home that supports real life rather than performs for it.

Here you’ll find writing about:

• setting up a home from scratch in a rental
• prioritizing what actually matters when starting over
• designing calm, functional spaces under real constraints
• creating routines that reduce friction and mental load
• choosing fewer, better things - and living with them intentionally

I write for people navigating in-between seasons: separation, relocation, loss, reinvention. People who want beauty, but also clarity. Peace, but not at the expense of honesty.

Some posts include specific products, furniture, or systems I use. When I share something, it’s because it earned its place - through function, durability, or the way it made everyday life feel more manageable. I value practicality over perfection and intention over excess.

This space is private, respectful, and forward-looking. It’s not about the life I left behind. It’s about the one I’m actively building.

Welcome.
