“There are those who spend lifetimes in houses that have nothing to do with who they really are. They may be perfectly designed, yet if they fail to reflect the personalities of the people who live in them, the very essence of intimacy is missing and this absence is disturbingly visible.” ~ Rose Tarlow


When you decorate your home do you take into consideration that your home tells a story of the people who live there?  Do you consider the varied interest of your family members?  When you redecorate your kid’s rooms, do you ask what color they would like to paint it?  If they have any ideas they would like incorporated?
Do you have a family wall?  A gallery of family photos?  A shelf with everybody’s favorite book displayed?  If not, consider each room and what story you think that room tells.  If your house isn’t a reflection of the people who live there, what does it reflect?  We find comfort in familiar surroundings.  Places that make us feel welcomed and at home.  You deserve a special place with all your favorite things and so does your family.  It’s the little things in life that bring us the most joy!  
I challenge you to put your home to the authenticity test.  Let me know what you find?  Does it reflect your family?  I have some ideas that could make your house unique to your family.  We will be discussing those ideas next week!  

Have a great weekend!
