![Quick Takes With Kai AventdeLeon portrait 3](https://www.remodelista.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/9781648290145-376x282.jpg)
Kai Avent-deLeon is, as she says, “a mom and owner of Sincerely, Tommy and Che, a vegan eatery”, and we’ll add that she’s also a tastemaker, an entrepreneur, and a woman of all trades. We’ve been taken by Kai’s singular style since we first toured her Bed-Stuy apartment, then her next BK place (which features in The Low-Impact Home book), and her mobile home-turned-clean-lined sanctuary in upstate New York.
For our first-ever Quick Takes column, Kai shares the best flowers to bring to a party, the ultimate bed sheets, and her simple swap for better lounging.
I love receiving wine or flowers, so I usually will bring either of those—specifically a natural wine, or tulips, because they’re timeless and complement any space.
Water, my journal, photos of my favorite and most cherished loved ones, and a usually a book I am reading (currently The Power of Intention).
A lot of Sade and Fleetwood Mac.

A floor mattress instead of lounge chairs. I love chairs and could probably say I am recovering from an obsession with collecting good lounge chairs. In my quest to be more minimalist, I found a floor mattress to be not only an aesthetically pleasing option but also extremely functional. When friends and family stay over, it serves as extra sleeping space.
A good spoon.
Boucle. Sorry!
My reworked Levis from La Réunion Studio.
Lichen, Chairish, and any furniture store on Warren Street in Hudson, NY.
Tea cups and charcoal bars from Kinto.
I really love the brushed steel trend…
My rosewater mist.
