At Home: What’s the secret to living a beautiful, organized life?

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:22:26 GMT

“Home is a box you keep your life in — people and pets and plants and history and dreams. A biosphere, a sanctuary, your place, your space. … Your private address in a crowded universe. The place you belong.”So opens the latest issue of Ideas of Order, a magazine that marries two of my obsessions — good writing and good living. It’s published once a year by California Closets.Following that introductory essay are smartly written profiles of stylishly outfitted homes and those who live in and love them. The magazine closes with a three-paragraph essay titled “Love Story,” by Sarah Rutledge, who has a hard rule against dogs in bed. That decree gets toppled by Molly, a doodle, who wriggles her way in, right where she belongs.After that read, I am pretty much done for the day. However, I do some investigating and get under the cover of this curious magazine and contact editor Carrie Tuhy, who has worked for 30 years in magazine journalism and held editing roles for oth...
