We all know that there is a difference between a house and home, and while it may be a hard thing to define in black and white terms, we can tell the difference when feel it. A house may be a place where you eat and sleep, but a home is a place where you and your loved ones truly live. The things that make our house feel homey may change through different life events, changing seasons or as new years’ dawn

Every home you go into has its own distinct scent. Sometimes the thing that makes your house feel like home are the special items that fill it. It may be the cookie jar that your Grandmother had on her counter (and was always full!), or a housewarming gift from someone special that reminds you of them each time you see it. No matter what the things you love are, it is important to fill your home with things that bring you joy and peace.

It is important to remember that your home is as personal to you and it should reflect your own individuality. There is no limit to the number of things that can make your house a home, so find what works for you and never be afraid to change things up as you change, as seasons change or as years change and we seek fresh starts.
