This resonates so much with me--after I really spend time to make a space all that it can be, I find myself using and enjoying it so much more. Most recently I planted some flowers in our small backyard and the addition of a little color already has me spending more time out there! It’s just so cheerful and lovely.

I recently also shared on my own substack a similar sentiment--the best thing for me about owning a home is creating a space that we can fill with memories together with our loved ones. Thank you for sharing this!

It is amazing to see that living includes so many different aspects. I always try to take a few of them into account on my travels, whether professional or vacation. Taking things with me like my yoga mat, candles, a scent that makes me feel at home

I really enjoyed reading this Holly. We have moved houses many times and it isn’t until we have transformed our current house into a home that anybody really feels happy and settled. Adding our own cushions and blankets, homemade artifacts, stack of well worn breadboards to a kitchen shelf, brightly coloured miss-matched napkins to our table. These are the things that ground us and make the small everyday moments of life that bit better.
