“word to the wise” wednesday: carmen lopez

My house hugs me too and very often knocks me off my feet, especially when I am greeted by my dog. I love coming home to life. pve

I totally agree...love walking in my door...gorgeous vignette!!

Nothing gives me more peace than walking through that front door even after a wonderful vacation or a day at work, it is always good to get home. That tortoiseshell box collection is gorgeous.

Our home is the essence of how we are as a family, city/country, relaxed with provenance. The palette is joyful and decor infused with meaningful decor, inherited treasures, repurposed objects, gifts from friends and many many photographs and personal art. As I travel back from HP to NY, when I get home to the joyful chaos of kids, pets and exhausted hubby, I thank heavens for my perfectly imperfect oasis.

I'm with Dorothy, "there is no place like home." It contains all of my favorite things, people and pets.

Comforting but..... I have to stop myself and really appreciate how much we have accomplished and gathered. Unfortunately, I am usually looking at the next project or what I would do differently the next time around. :-}

I love to be home after a hectic day, the warmth and love that greets you when you enter your home has no words.
