What makes your house feel like home?
Your home seems so cozy. :) My pups definitely make my place feel like home.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I love the idea of this post! We move so often that I've just come to identify "home" as wherever my little family unit is. We've had the same furniture (set up preeeeeetty much the same way) since we got married, so it's easy once all that stuff is in place to just identify home. I'm 100% with you though--the first time I feel like a new house is "home" is when I've made a meal in it. Typically, it's my family's sauce--it makes the entire house smell like the "home" I grew up in.
ReplyDeletei love this idea! i have a ton of pictures that i don't know what to do with so i just might steal this idea from you :)
ReplyDeletethat pic of gee at the door greeting you - he's like: human, you're late and i'm hungry. feed and pet me RIGHT NOW.

YES to doggies! Dogs and candles just make the home feel so much more cozy :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I so agree with fresh flowers, but they are just not safe in our home because the cats eat them.
ReplyDeleteWhen we bought our house... the second I knew it was home was when I cooked there.
ReplyDeleteI loved Trinity
ReplyDelete(in fact ALL books by Leon)
Battlecry was first.
I basically love this idea for a post and have been left with warm and fuzzy feelings. Then I heard the phone ring and realized that I am sitting at work. The least cozy place ever.
ReplyDeleteI love traveling the world, i do. but nothing beats the feeling of home. a clean house, some candles and my pups. can't go wrong!
ReplyDeletepictures (and other things) on the wall make it feel like a home to me. and that lived in look. my house isnt perfect and i wouldnt have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteI'm baaaack. National championshipping and funeral-ing. Happy and sad stuff. Very blessed with so many things.
ReplyDeleteYour home is the best!!!! You got right in there and made it you/MikeDoyle/pups immediately. Hard to believe it's been 4 years already. And the colors are so good. I have my pictures all over but need to clean up my act in many areas.
Very nice post.
Love my oldest chicken
she's the best
Excellent driver and brilliant
Love Your MOMMA
I love this :) I feel like our house is older, but still clean.. giving it the 'lived in' feeling that I love! Candles are a must- we are addicted to them and have them in every room. And stacks of books, oh yes! We joke that our next home will need a 'library' in it to hold all our books!!!
ReplyDeleteI love being surrounded by my theatre cast pics. I have 20 years worth now, and they all have great memories. Also, lots of candid travel shots, and old family pics.
ReplyDeleteI also love having lots of candles, and my essential oils.
I look forward to your Instagram on weekend mornings of whatever coffee mug you're using that day!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I'm definitely with you on a clean, but well-lived in house. I always feel weird when I go to someones house and it's spotless- but I'm worried to touch anything because it's almost TOO clean and perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd candles and cooking and books and all the wonderful things :)
This is so fun! I love this idea and your house looks super cozy. I wish I could say mine was "clean but lived in." Right now I think we're erring a bit on the side of "lived in."
ReplyDeleteI like this post a LOT,pictures, dogs, books, and candles all make my list.
ReplyDeleteI can only say clean during the winter, in the summer I get distracted and the house looks sloppy. It drives me NUTS but not enough to skip the beach.
Clean sheets, fresh flowers and pictures of friends and family always make my house feel like a home. Great list! I may have to steal this idea :-)
ReplyDeleteGeege is my favorite dog of yours. I'm not sure why. I love that he waits for you at the door.
ReplyDeleteComfortable furniture and couches, clean sheets and towels, and any type of dinner cooking to me make a house a home.
Clean sheets and a stocked pantry (food cabinet) for the win!
ReplyDeleteSimilar to you...dogs, candles, stocked pantry, clean(ish) but lived in and comfortable, pictures of family all over, my husband and daughter, books, toys everywhere (dogs and people), and just little touches of us in every room.
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes while cleaning - always a must! Haha What would a home be without dogs?
ReplyDeleteJack, my dogs, Popcorn my cat, Bert my fish, nature that surrounds my house especially the woods I walk in where I head to sooth my soul, my array of p.j.s and the sense of safety I feel when I am here. Also the way I know my home welcomes all I love.
ReplyDeleteMy pup most definitely makes my house a home!
ReplyDeleteCat hair everywhere definitely makes this house a home! As does Keurig. And the Roku.
ReplyDeleteI bought a few little things at HomeGoods the other day to add a few homey touches, and I have a zillion things for Steve to hang!
I do my best to make my crappy apartment feel like a home. Fresh flowers and live plants help. Candles. Pictures. Comfortable throw blankets. I try!
ReplyDeleteYes to the coffee mug collection, books, candles and crazy pups. Those always make me feel at home!
ReplyDeleteI love your list. It reads like you, like this blog :) Hawkeye is definitely my #1, it's not home if she isn't with me.
