In reply to Gabrielle. I so much agree with you. Thank you for putting this out there. Life is short and we need to slow down and enjoy it. Our houses are our homes , our happy places . They should reflect us , not the latest trends.

I read your post and it really resonated with me. Im a 65 year old grandmother and I live alone. I’ve always been about decorating my home and making a cozy place to be. I love your blog and reading it. Lately Ive found that the social media aspect of life has interrupted actually living that life. I see it in myself, my daughters and my granddaughters. When the girls come to my home we have real tea parties and I take the time to make or buy little treats and set the table with china and tablecloths and napkins and we all gather around. I find the little ones, 7, 8, 11 all talk more and discuss life in general. No screens and no influence. I think we all need a break and appreciate you for saying so. Your home is beautiful and cozy and warm and inspires me each time you share a new idea. Congratulations on your new baby.

I continued to smile while reading your post
The picture of a Devine home, your words of wisdom and your new joy with the newest member to your family. Your daughter today will be your joy for many decades to come. She was planned way before you had that twinkle in your eye. Peace and joy be yours

Amanda, what a beautiful and refreshing post! I
have had the blessing of moving into my husband’s childhood home in a town so small, there isn’t even
a stoplight! But how cozy and peaceful this home is.
And since it was built in the late ‘50s, I have not felt the need to buy new furniture, curtains, etc to make this now our home. Everything we moved seems to just fit perfectly. Yes, I will be painting every room because it’s not been painted since the ‘80s and yes, the carpet will all come out (original hardwood floors underneath!) but I’m embracing the flaws, if you will, and loving the fact that it’s a timeless home. A home that is full of memories and love and warmth. God has blessed me beyond measure.
