A beautiful house that says "You"

A beautiful house that says "You"

Date: 2015-09-25
A home doesn't have to be big to be beautiful, it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. You know what it does need to be? A reflection of you. The real, true, authentic you. You can gaze at photos in magazines all day long and think about how nice it would all be, if only your house were bigger, you had more money, or time to do it all. Or you can look around you and realize that the most important thing isn't having a home that is ready for it's closeup in a magazine spread but is practical and beautiful to you.

Most of our homes won't ever win awards, be in a magazine or make us famous. But they're all beautiful in their unique ways - just like us. Home is where our families are. Where memories are made. Where kids play. Where tears are shed. Where meals are made. Those are the things that matter more than the size of a house or the things that are in it. We make our houses home by being there, living authentically and being warm and inviting to those who visit. We make our house a home by lighting candles at night, wrestling in the living room with our kids, and making messes in the kitchen.

A beautiful home inspires a beautiful life and that is why it's important to take the time and care to make it so. Remembering that beautiful doesn't mean perfect is also important though. Embrace the imperfections, soak in all the moments, and love and laugh often. You'll never look back and wish you'd bought that piece of furniture, but you'll be glad you made a home full of love.
