Turning Dreams Into Reality
It might be early September, but we are slowly tipping into fall, which is the ideal time to begin dreaming about how to shape our interiors for the coming cooler months. We’ll spend so much time indoors, we might as well surround ourselves with environments that we love. That might mean fall decor, extra fluffy throws and pillows, or changing out furniture and wall colors.
There are so many ways to dream big with this issue of Omaha Home, which shows that even small touches add up to enormous impact. Think of how Heidi Mihelich’s collection of vintage colored glass sets the tone for her jewel-toned apartment, a true testament to how color can transform our spaces.
Sometimes change is beyond our control and for that reason, enormous. When Kandie Borchman and Kathy Hawkins experienced a devastating fire in November 2020, they were forced to build anew. They relied on Diversified Construction and interior designer Marilyn Hansen of The Designers to create their new home from the ashes. This is an inspiring story that illustrates how we can use a major setback to realize something new, fresh, and dare I say, better?
“Better” can also come in the form of everyday items, objects we often don’t pay much attention to or even really notice. Rob Daniel created his business Mailbox Mayhem, which has crafted over 2,000 mailboxes that dot the metro and beyond, to rethink those kinds of quotidian items. Daniel said that a mailbox might seem like a small thing, but it’s something we interact with almost every day, and we should take joy in those encounters.
