Sense of Home
5 Makers. 5 Homes. 5 Senses.
What makes you feel the most at home? Is it the smell of your favorite meal, the feeling of freshly washed sheets, the sound of your favorite record playing? We experience our homes through all of the 5 senses, associating a particular memory or emotion with each. We’ve enlisted five our favorite creatives and makers to tell the story of their own homes, framed through the sense they relate to most.
