House vs. Home

There are lots of things that contribute to making a house a home. Of course, it's the companionship of people you love. It's that space in the world where you can have downtime and just be yourself; a place of nurturing that helps you recharge.

Those are all elements, yes. But still, it's amazing what some pictures up on the wall can do to make a house feel more homey!

It's certainly a work in progress, but I can see a home starting to take shape amid the chaos.
Though, seriously. This weekend. That pile of boxes HAS to go.

Oh man, I have got to get some stuff up on my walls. I'm having design brain freeze, though. Don't know where to start and where to put things.

New wall space can have that effect! It was to give me hope that I won't be unpacking for the next three years that I put those decorations. At least it helped me feel somewhat more settled in :)
Good luck with your new space!
