Farewell….

Posted on September 25, 2017

January 2026 Update:
If you are interested in what I am writing these days, head to KimVallee.com, where I explore how cities shape everyday life. And what becomes possible when cities are designed for people, are designed for making life easier.

At Home with Kim Vallee is officially closed.

I won’t publish here anymore. I’m touched by all the support you gave me during all these years. I met wonderful bloggers and readers both online and offline. I will forever cherish these fond memories. Take care. XOXO
