Through-out my life I’ve lived in many different houses: upstairs apartment, miniature house, extremely large house..you get the picture..and each house has been decorated in a variety of ways. I’ve come to notice that it isn’t the size of the house, but the contents inside the house, that make it feel like “home”.

Have you ever had the experience of visiting a variety of homes in every shape and size? What made one house stand out more than the next? The house that stands out in my memory wasn’t the mansion, but the small one…the one that had shoes in the closet, hand stitched pillows on the chairs and sofa’s, and primitive dolls sitting in a variety of areas.

There was one particular house that really felt like “home” to me, it  had mismatched furniture, a basket of sewing supplies next to an antique rocking chair.

So, don’t fret if your house isn’t the biggest or if your furniture doesn’t match, just take the time to create an atmosphere that is welcoming, calming and comfortable!

God Bless,
