Wednesday Wisdom - Not Quite Home

Wednesday, March 24

A good home must be made,
not bought.


- Joyce Maynard


Which is good news for renters like me! Even still, I feel like my little apartment is lightyears away from being my home...it still looks and feels temporary (the moving boxes in the corner probably don't help!)

Maybe hanging a few more pictures on the walls will solve that to a certain extent, especially the ones that I will get framed as soon as funds permit, but is that all there is to it? What makes your house into a home? Or are you stuck in a not-quite-home limbo like me?

It is the simple touches like a vase of flowers, a favourite cushion or throw that says this is your home. It is harder when your renting but not impossible:)

For me it's my family, the sound of my teens laughing, dogs barking and the smell of something cooking on the stove. Oh, yeah, and great decor doesn't hurt either! :)

Hello,
As soon as i have realised your blog, i looked at all the pictures you've posted and read as much as post =) Your blog is awasome! I like it, here is peaceful. I thınk that's why you have lots of followers. :)

For me, a home could be any where i feel belonged to. Sometimes my family or my books can be enough to call a place as a home.

Loves from Turkey,
Luna.
