Pin It Forward: What Home Means To Me

Hello there dear friends! I had a lot of fun putting together this post – in fact, it was hard to stop fiddling and get the post up, because there was so much I wanted to include! But I am finally ready. This is part of pin it forward, the blogging round-robin created by Victoria of sfgirlbybay in collaboration with Pinterest, around the theme of “what home means to me”…and today it is my turn to share! I hope at the end you will chime in and share what home means to you, I would really love to know!

I am most at home in clean, uncluttered spaces with plenty of white to rest my eyes on…but I could never let my home go completely without color and embellishment! Whether it is a stack of vintage dishes or a pretty apron, a colorful cushion, or even a favorite bag left hanging by the door, little spots of color really cheer me up!

Everyone should have a little nook tucked away somewhere to support your passions, whether it’s for sewing and crafting, writing, reading, or dreaming the afternoon away…

…but of course what really says home to me are the people and pets in it – my sweet husband, our cat, our soon-to-be-born little one, and all of the dear friends and family who spend time with us wherever we are making our home.

It’s the little things – the handmade treasures, the art, the photographs, and the projects that required a bit of my own sweat and hard work that really make a house feel like home to me.

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved spending time at home, especially in my own room. Just puttering around, arranging this or that, lounging in my pajamas, having little snacks and tea and reading books…heaven!
