My Newbie is Showing...Part 3

BC: Calling it Home.

Prompt: Name five things that make your house a home.

It's funny this shows up at this time, because my daughter and her husband just closed and are making the house their home. It doesn't feel like home to them yet. What will make it so? We just talked about this so this is what showed up in our conversation...

1. Sleeping in it. Nothing baptizes a house more than feeling safe and protected within its walls.
2. Pictures. She has a favorite picture that she cannot display in her current abode. It is a picture unique to her personality and would be a personal statement for her home.
3. Smells. I don't care if its the smell of food or cologne....there are smells that when you encounter them, you know you are home.
4. Paint. If the wall color/treatments belong to someone else, change them to what screams home for you.
5. Flooring. If the carpets are a color you can't stand or are not you, rip them out and put in a color or surface texture like hard wood that make the place seem more homey for you.
