What Really Makes a House a Home? (Not What You Think)
You can live in a house for years before it really becomes your home. Sure, you might’ve gotten rid of all the boxes months ago – which was a feat on its own, because moving is awful. But until you breathe life and personality into your space, it’s just a place where you live. It’s a real home when you stop apologizing to guests for small messes or not getting around to ambitious projects, because you’re too busy enjoying living there and making memories. It doesn’t take expensive renovations or time-consuming projects to make a house a home. It’s as simple as hanging pictures on the wall. As cliche as the term “happy home” is, your personal environment has many effects on your well being. When you enjoy where you live, you feel better. So if you already love where you live, it’s time to take your relationship with your house to the next level.
