SIX TO BLISS: the Kirsten Krason edition

Who: Kirsten Sue
What: an interior design student and extremely creative blogger of 6th Street Design School .

The sweet and lovely Kirsten shares with us, her 6 secrets of domestic bliss.



1. Linen Sheets
Alice Lane sells the most amazing linen bedding by Matteo. I have the sheets and they are amazing. I rejoice every night when I get to crawl into bed and be enveloped with softness. It is the perfect reward at the end of a hard day.

2. A made bed
I make my bed every day (well almost every day). It gives me such a feeling of peace. Even if the rest of my home is a complete disaster (which it usually is) I can at least go into my bedroom and feel like something is in order.

3 .Love
A home is nothing without people to share it with. My husband and I fill our four walls with laughter and love. 7 months ago we were blessed with a baby boy and not a day goes by that he doesn’t bring joy to my life. A day spent with my husband and my baby is true bliss

4. Music
One of my favorite things to do in my home is turn on my playlist while I am blogging, cleaning or doing homework. I love it when my home is full of lovely and beautiful music. Even if it is a dreary day outside it lifts my mood and makes the day feel brighter.


5. Candles
I love lighting candles. Not only is the aroma wonderful but it really sets the mood in a home. My favorite is this one from Anthropologie. It truly brings bliss to my life.

6. Sentiment
Your home should not only be about your present but also your past. I like to have something sentimental in each room. Something that reminds me of where I came from. My baby’s nursery is full of items that were my husbands when he was younger. I love this little alligator hook he made when he was little. The little outfit that hangs on it to the right belonged to my husband when he was a baby. Having pieces of my husband's past in this room is really precious to me.

Great secrets to bliss! She seems adorable, I will have to wander over there. Have a lovely day!

It all sounds perfect! ;)

what a lovely post! I agree with her on so many of her points! Especially sentiment - I love taking photographs of our trips and framing them and using them as wall art. We also buy art when we are abroad and love to showcase that in your home... means so much more than something with no sentimental value!

This is a fantastic list! I have to agree on anything that turns the bedroom into a peaceful haven - it's the ultimate retreat. Forget boutique hotels!

I love her list. I'm right with her on making the bed. Even when everything else is a disast, I still love to make the bed first!

Kirsten-I had never even heard of linen sheets before, but now am dying to get some!
