This Couple Performed a 'Wabi-Sabi' Ritual When They Moved Into Their New Home — By Purposefully Denting Their Ceiling

A stylish kitchen with wood cupboards, a marble backsplash, a stone island and a pair of stools.

A new home is meant to be celebrated. And typically, you'd host a housewarming party, cleanse the home, or savor a special meal to mark the occasion. But this couple has a slightly damaging ritual that's actually totally wholesome.

Mazin Orfali and Iveta Goda Degulytė commemorated a fresh chapter of life in their new home by popping champagne. But they didn't carefully (and slightly anxiously) attempt to pop it in the far corner of the room, void of breakables, or gently release it by hand. Instead, they took the wabi-sabi route and aimed right for their kitchen ceiling.
