Memorial Day is more than a moment of silence or a folded flag—it’s a deeply personal day for me, and for so many military families like ours. As the wife of a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I carry the weight and pride of his service in everything I do—even in how I design a home. This blog post is a reflection on remembrance, the power of honoring our heroes through the spaces we live in, and why every corner of a home can become a tribute to sacrifice, service, and love.
