Dwell – Collaborative Platform

Dwell recently shared our journey of us finding ‘The Frost House’. It was not a straight-line to this home, it was a somewhat painful and difficult process, whereby we were looking to build our own modern home. If you are not familiar with Dwell, they were put on the map by their magazine that was all about each issue exploring ways in which good design thinking can deliver a better life. They have now transformed into not only a magazine, but a collaborative platform for architects, designers, and enthusiasts – where a global community can share and discover inspiring design. We were so thankful for them sharing our journey and featuring us in the community, it was so fun to see our little house trending on their site and getting likes + shares + comments from around the globe. Some interactions were a little jarring – negative remarks – that some forgot they were saying about a persons home. We just had to remind ourselves that the home was purchased and decorated to make us comfortable not the readers. If you put yourself out there – you have to be prepared for the negative comments, yet – why is it that people can’t just be kind to one another?, it is much easier to be a critic – not so much to be a creator, let’s just encourage the creators and dreamers, even if you don’t like what has been created or dreamed up as an idea – let it make you think and be thankful for that experience.
