letter from the President & CEO SHERRY CHRIS

As travel picks up, nothing beats that familiar feeling of arriving back home to reset and recharge. Even if it’s only for a few days before hitting the road again. Home is comfort; it’s a sacred space that is fully yours to enjoy. And if you, like me, cherish that moment of curling up in your cozy bed after a long journey, then I think you’ll enjoy this issue.

In Volume 11 of The Distinctive Life, we’re diving into topics that encourage you to unwind and refocus as you spend time at home. First, we discuss how to elegantly update your bedroom into your perfect sanctuary—all without the hassle of a full remodel. Using inspiration from a bedroom refresh, consider adding a home meditation studio to start or end your day in a zen state of mind. Be sure to read our tips for building an oasis of calm that may even inspire a wellness staycation (which we share ideas for as well!).

And when eating out gets old, return to the kitchen with fresh, delicious, and easy at-home meal kits; we round up a few of our favorites for all diets and tastes.

Keep flipping the pages for a bonus article in this edition—a luxury staging guide written by interior design and lifestyle expert, Jennifer Adams. She reveals exclusive staging trends that reflect current homeowner needs.

I’m excited to share this edition with you, which is packed with our best recommendations for luxury living (and relaxing) in today’s world. There’s nothing quite like coming home…and enjoying home.

Distinctively yours,

SHERRY CHRIS President and CEO Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate
