Njengoba sengihlale ekhaya lethu lesitayela saseMedithera e-Austin iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi, ngabelane kakhulu ngenqubo yethu yokuklama phakathi neminyaka. Kusukela ezivuselelweni ezilula ukuya ekhishini, ukupulasitela izindonga zethu, ukuya ekulungiseni ngokuphelele igceke elingemuva—bekulokhu uhambo futhi ngibonga kakhulu kini nonke eniye nahamba ohambweni! Kufike kimina kamuva nje ukuthi angikaze ngibe nohambo oluphelele lwendlu yonke, imininingwane yegumbi negumbi yonke isendaweni eyodwa. Ngakho-ke, kanye nokwethulwa kwe-Sourcebook yami ehlanganisa izixhumanisi zayo yonke into endlini yethu, angikwazanga ukujabula kakhulu ukwabelana ngohambo olusemthethweni lwe-Camille Styles Home Tour. Skrolela kukho konke owake wazibuza mayelana nekhaya lami e-Austin, kodwa okokuqala: bukela ividiyo engezansi ukuze ngikubonise.
Futhi manje, imininingwane yendawo ngayinye endlini yethu …
Indaba yomuzi wethu
Umyeni wami u-Adam wathola le ndawo emuva ngesikhathi sisathandana, eminyakeni engu-16 edlule! Kwakukhona indlu endala yama-1950 endaweni eyayisesimweni esibi kakhulu, futhi inkatho ngokwayo yayiminyene kangangokuthi wawungakwazi ukubona noma yikuphi ukubukwa. Igceke lamanje lalingekho nhlobo. Kodwa sasazi ukuthi le ndawo inamathuba amaningi, futhi ngaphezu konyaka ngemva kokufaka umnikelo wokuqala kule ndawo, sagcina siyitholile.
Sachitha unyaka wokuqala womshado wethu sisebenza nomdwebi wamapulani wethu, uRyan Street, bese sakha indlu entsha kusukela phansi kuya phezulu. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngangingakaze ngenze iphrojekthi yokuklama eduze nalesi sikali ngaphambili—futhi ngokweqiniso, ngangingazi ukuthi ngenzani. Kodwa ngokujabulisayo, okuhlangenwe nakho kwavusa uthando lokuklama nokwakha kimi no-Adamu. Safunda ngakho kakhulu ngenqubo, futhi ngizizwa nginenhlanhla ukuthi sagcina sithole umphumela wokugcina engisawuthanda, eminyakeni eminingi kamuva.
Manje njengoba sesineminyaka engu-13 sisendlini, kunezinto ezimbalwa engingathanda ukuzibuyekeza. Sibheka ikhaya lethu njengomsebenzi oqhubekayo-njalo ngonyaka sibhekana nento eyodwa noma ezimbili futhi indlu iqhubeka nokuthuthuka kanye nathi.
“Isitayela” sekhaya lethu
Ngivame ukubuzwa ukuthi iyini “isitayela” indlu yethu, futhi eqinisweni, angikwazi ukukhomba isitayela esisodwa sokuklama njengoba sigqugquzelwe imithombo eminingi ehlukene. Nokho, ngivame ukusebenzisa amagama athi “minimalism efudumele” ukuchaza ikhaya lethu. Ngihlala ngifuna ukwenza izinto zibe lula, kodwa ngifuna ukuthi yonke indawo izizwe ifudumele futhi inethezekile.
Kukhona futhi ithonya elingenakuphikwa laseMedithera ekwakhiweni kwethu. Mina no-Adam saya e-Italy kuholide yethu yangemva komshado, futhi sakhuthazwa kakhulu yizakhiwo nezindawo ezingaphandle lapho sachitha khona isikhathi ogwini lwase-Amalfi. Lapho sifika ekhaya futhi siqala inqubo yethu yokuklama, sasifuna ukuhlanganisa izinto ezifana ne-terra cotta ne-plaster, kanye nezitshalo eziningi esizikhethele ukuhlelwa kwethu kwezwe, njengezihlahla zomnqumo ne-jasmine.
Izindonga
Omunye wemibuzo eyinhloko engibuzwayo ngekhaya lethu—umuphi umbala kapende osezindongeni? Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, sanquma ukupulameka izindonga zendlu yonke. Sekuyisikhathi eside ngithathekile ngomlingiswa wakudala onikeza indlu ngokhonkolo, ngakho ngangijabule kakhulu ngalesi sibuyekezo—futhi ngisithanda kakhulu njengoba ngangilindele.
Okwezindonga zethu, besifuna ukuqedwa kwe-matte okungaphezulu komhlaba kunodaka oluningi emakethe, futhi ngathola lo mkhiqizo obizwa ngokuthi i-American Clay engayithanda ngaso leso sikhathi. Kuwukhonkolo womhlaba wemvelo owenziwe eNew Mexico, futhi isiphetho sine-vibe ethambile, yemvelo ebengiyicabanga yendlu yethu. Ayinabuthi futhi futhi ayinobuthi. Sapulameka yonke indawo ephansi yendlu emthunzini we-American Clay ebizwa ngokuthi i-Forté White, futhi ngiyithanda kakhulu kangangokuthi ngigcina ezinye zezindonga zingenalutho ukuze ukhonkolo lube nesikhathi salo.
Igumbi lokuhlala
Igumbi lethu lokuphumula limayelana nokukhanya kwemvelo kanye nokugeleza kwangaphakathi nangaphandle. Ingxenye engiyithandayo yaleli gumbi izicabha ezinkulu zensimbi ezivuleka ngokuphelele kuvulandi futhi zidale lokhu kuxhumana okuhle ngemuva kwendlu. Sizenze zaklanywa futhi zakhiwa yi-Rehme Steel Windows & Doors lapha e-Austin. Isimo sami somzwelo sithonywa kakhulu ukukhanya kwelanga, ngakho-ke kuyisikhuthazo esisheshayo ukuchitha isikhathi lapha futhi uvumele konke lokho kukhanya kungene.

Ikhishi kanye neGumbi lokudlela
Ikhishi lethu yilapho umlingo wenzeka khona—konke ukuthuthukiswa kwami kweresiphi yesayithi, nakho konke ukudla esikwenza ndawonye njengomndeni. Lapho senza amaphathi, wonke umuntu uyabuthana esiqhingini esikhulu esimaphakathi, ngakho ngivame ukubeka iziphuzo nokudla okulula lapha ukuze kudliwe.
Leli khishi linezinselelo ezimbalwa zokuklama—ikakhulukazi ukuntuleka kokukhanya kwemvelo. Ngihlole zonke izindlela zokwengeza ukukhanya kwesibhakabhaka noma iwindi lapha, kodwa indlela indlu emiswe ngayo yenza kungenzeki. Ngakho-ke, nginesu ngemibala kanye nesitayela ukuze ngikhanyise lesi sikhala ngangokunokwenzeka.
Lapho sakha indlu, sengeza indawo yensimbi engagqwali engaphelelwa uthando ngayo njengoba isitayela sami sithuthuka. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, senza isibuyekezo sasekhishini futhi sashintsha indawo yalo safaka i-hood ezungezile eyenziwe ngokwezifiso eyenza umehluko omkhulu kakhulu. I-hood inesistimu yokungenisa umoya efihliwe egxunyekwe ngaphakathi kwendawo ezungezile esibe sesiyiplasta nge-American Clay.
Siphinde sashintsha ama-countertops ethu amadala sasebenzisa leli tshe le-Caesaerstone elimhlophe qhwa ekugcineni kwe-Cloudburst Concrete. Ngiyayithanda i-Caesarstone futhi ngiyisebenzisile kumaphrojekthi amaningi—yinhle futhi ihlala isikhathi eside ngendlela emangalisayo. Kulokhu, sengeze unqenqema lwempophoma phezu kwetafula futhi senza usinki oqhubekayo wonke ngetshe le-Caesarstone ukwenza konke kungabi namthungo ngempela.

Igceke Elingemuva
Ngizoqala kuphi ngendlu yakithi? Lesi yindawo engiyithandayo kuyo yonke impahla yethu. Iqiniso lokuthi kusithathe iminyaka engu-12 sisebenza ukuze sifinyelele kuleli qophelo likwenza kube okukhethekile nakakhulu—bekuwumsebenzi oqhubekayo wothando.
Phezulu, sinendawo yethu yokuphumula engaphandle – lena yilapho esizihlalela khona uma sinabangane, futhi izikhathi eziningi sobane sizodla isidlo sakusihlwa sizungeze leli tafula lekhofi futhi sihlale emakhushini.
Bese-ke, sinechibi elinomphetho ongapheli. Siyiklame ukuze sikhulise umuzwa wokwakhelwa eweni, futhi ngiyathanda ukuthi uma sisendaweni yokubhukuda, kuzwakale sengathi sicishe silenga ophahleni lwezihlahla. Siyabhukuda konke isikhathi—kusukela ngo-March kuze kube u-November, sihlezi sisechibini. Into engiyithanda kakhulu ngechibi lethu lokubhukuda umbala-ithayela elimnyama lingikhumbuza iMedithera namanzi ayo aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Njengoba ikhaya lethu lihlezi phezulu egqumeni eliphakeme, isisekelo sethu sakhelwe odongeni olugcina amamitha angu-30. Indawo engemuva engemuva ngakolunye uhlangothi lwayo kube uguquko olukhulu kakhulu lwekhaya lethu kule minyaka embalwa edlule. Isukile ekubeni igquma elimbozwe uthuli elimbozwe ibhulashi nezihlahla esingakwazi nokulisebenzisa, laya endaweni evezwe kuyo yonke i-inthanethi kuhlanganise ne-Architectural Digest. Kusithathe IMINYAKA ukwenza umbono wethu uphile – ngokuvamile sizama ukubhekana nephrojekthi eyodwa noma amabili amakhulu ngonyaka emuva lapha futhi cishe ngeke siqede ngale ndawo.
Vakashela indawo engemuva egcwele lapha, okuhlanganisa okwengeziwe mayelana nedizayini yethu yegceke, izitshalo esizisebenzisile, nakho konke mayelana nalowo mgodi womlilo.
Igumbi Lokulala Eliyisisekelo
Ikamelo lethu lokulala liyindawo yami engcwele – izinsuku zethu zigcwele kakhulu, kusukela emsebenzini kuya ekuphileni komndeni, futhi yilapho ukuphithizela kuma khona futhi siphumule ngempela. Ngithanda indawo yami yewindi esekhoneni lekhofi lasekuseni, futhi ngivame ukuhlala lapha kusihlwa kanye nejenali noma ngifunde ngaphambi kokulala.
Ngithola imibuzo eminingi mayelana nombhede wethu oklanywe ngokwezifiso nowakhiwe. Yenziwe nge-oki emhlophe engagcotshiwe ukuze kuqedwe i-matte, engathathi hlangothi, bese kuba nama-sconces amabili anentambo eqinile ohlangothini ngalunye lombhede-amaswishi atholakala ohlangothini lwe-nightstand ukuze angabonakali.
Imininingwane eminingi yokuthi siwuklame kanjani lo mbhede ohambweni lwethu lwegumbi lokulala khona lapha.

Ihhovisi elincane likaCamille
Nakhu ukulunguza ehhovisi le-alcove elixhunywe ekhishini lapho ngivame ukusebenza khona. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ngalungisa kabusha isikhala ukuze sisebenze kahle. Sehlisa phansi ideski elikhona kanye nekhabhinethi, futhi esikhundleni salo safaka i-slab ehlanzekile “entantayo” ye-oki emhlophe ukuze isebenze njengokusethwa kwedeski okulula, nokulula. Ngithanda ukuba nalesi sikhala esithokomele ukuze ngizihlalele futhi ngenze izinto, futhi kulula kakhulu ukungena nokuphuma lapha ngenkathi ngihleli nezingane noma ngipheka isidlo sakusihlwa.
