Summary
Listen and learn how to embrace the perfectly imperfect home that you inhabit. Nobody is perfect and no home is either so chill and enjoy where you are now.
Today we explore the concept of Wabi Sabi as a trend, attitude & approach.
Wabi Sabi goes deeper than just being chill. It is an an attitude & approach to living that dates back to ancient times.
In recent years the term has crept into the home deocr venacular.
Today we discuss what it mean to approach life & home in a Wabi Sabi way, the hallmarks of the Wabi Sabi in decor and specific ways you can incorporate it in your home.
Items with patina - graceful aging - are very Wabi Sabi.

| 0:30.6 | Hey, everybody. I'm Kelly Wilkins here with Anita Joyce, and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:40.6 | Today we're talking about Wabi-Sabi. Is it a trend, an attitude, an approach, or maybe all three? |
| 0:48.9 | I think it's very timely to be discussing this concept of Wabi-Sabby. And you may not realize sort of how deep it goes. |
| 0:57.3 | So it is not a decor term that just popped up a couple of years ago. Wabi-Sabi has been going on for |
| 1:04.3 | many, many years, back into ancient times. And we'll go back a little bit further, but maybe not that far. And then let you know |
| 1:12.7 | everything that goes into having a Wabi-Sabi home attitude and approach. Yes. And, you know, |

| 1:54.5 | But maybe it's something you want to think about. |
| 1:56.8 | Think about how you can incorporate that into your home. |
| 1:59.1 | Think about how you can incorporate it into your lifestyle. Because as I said in the beginning, this was not about decor. |
| 2:05.7 | You know, so the Wabi-Sabi approach, it's a Japanese worldview, which is basically in a nutshell the acceptance of imperfection. |
| 2:15.5 | And they were not talking about their living room or ironing their tablecloths back then. |
