Last week, the plastic finally came off the windows at The Essex Ranch. I knew they would be beautiful, but I didn’t know they would be this beautiful. A reflection on Marvin windows, glass corridors, and the moment a house begins to feel like home.

There is a moment… right before everything changes… when a house is no longer just a project, but not yet fully a home. This weekend, we found ourselves standing in that quiet… noticing the shift, the stillness, and the beauty of what exists just before life fills the rooms.
