Welcome to Handwerk

If this publication was a physical place, it would go something like this:

A cozy sun room that welcomes you to take off your shoes and put on the soft slippers. I’d make a warm cup of coffee and heat up some rice cake and we’d sink onto the plush sofa. Perhaps we thumb through a well-loved photo album , share a laugh or two over old family stories.

It’s a place that feels like home. We talk and laugh late into the night and if you’re too tired to drive home, we have a comfortable guest room for you to stay in. I’ll make you breakfast in the morning and you can help me with a little home project.

Kimchi & Sauerkraut Chronicles

What does it take to feel that I belong? Explorations into memories from growing up as a Korean German, things that make us feel comfortable and what it takes to feel home where I am.

Handwerk Studio

Home inspiration from peeks into beautiful homes, furniture and accessories finds, to DIY projects and my own home renovation.

Slow Sunday

A gentle check-in on Sunday mornings and reflections on a S-L-O-W life.

S - small things that brought me joy
L - What I’m listening to
O - Oh so delicious things to make and eat
W - a little wisdom for the coming week.
