Rule #5—All Are Welcome. Always. Ok, maybe not all, because people scare me, but my home, while small, has room for everyone I love. Friends I’ve had since we were in the nursery together and friends I met last weekend at Zapata’s. I don’t care who you are, where you’ve been, what your past looks like, or how messy life feels right now. My door is open. There’s a guest room with clean sheets, a couch that reclines on both sides, and a handle of Tito’s on the kitchen cabinet. I want people to feel safe, loved, and truly known here. The greatest homes I’ve ever had the pleasure of stepping into aren’t necessarily the most beautiful ones. Sometimes those can feel a lot more like a museum than a cozy place to relax. The best ones are filled with warmth, and presence, and friends, and family, and noise, and chaos. I love those who let you take off your mask and sit on their couch in your mess without shame.
That’s the kind of house I want to build… physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the end of the day, I’m just a boy in his childhood home, trying to make it a soft place for others to land. And you know… party. Welcome home.
