It's The Little Details Which Make A Home
After all the big projects are done, or even along the way to completing them, it's the little details brought into the house that make it a home. Passing through a room, an item catching your eye which brings back a memory or reminds you of something kind a person has done, these are the things - more than selecting the perfect cabinetry for your kitchen - which add to the enjoyment of a home, making it uniquely yours!
A few months a thank you from Mayme Baker arrived along with this beautiful ceramic cross by artist Barbara Biel...what a sweet gesture!
It makes me happy seeing it, along with so many other little treasures.
What treasures do you appreciate in your home?

I couldn't agree more. I truly believe it is the small personal touches that make a home.

So true! I can't wait to get the rest of my furniture in our new house so I can accessorize and make it more personal.
That's so very true - it's always the small personal touches which make a home individual and interesting.

Agreed. I have many little things I treasure around our home - shells and rocks we bring back from trips, photos, drawings my created when she was little, my parents old eyeglasses....so many treasures.
I have a Western painting that used to belong to my father. I gave it to him about 30 years ago for Father's Day. He hung it in his dining room. I would see it everytime I went to visit him. He always told me he loved the picture of the cowboys.
When he passed away a few years ago, I got it. I now have it hanging in our guest room. It reminds me of all the wonderful meals we shared together.
I love your hardwood! What is the brand and name of the color? Thanks!
That cross is so cool! I agree, it's the little things in life in general!:)
I completely agree. It's the books, the art and the little knick knacks...... fresh flowers :) that breathe true life into a home.
You are so right I have a few things that make me smile everytime I see them. First, pictures of my loved ones, Top Priority. I also have some glass bubble orbs that I love looking at, little vintage medicine bottles, Big letter P's on my walls, Kelly green chinoiserie pedestal that holds hand towels in my black and white bathroom. I love that my house makes me smile.
I just did a post today on wardrobe details. It is all in the details!!

I too have a few Barbara Biel crosses and hearts and love them. If I find something small that I like, I buy it. I never worry about where it's going to go. If you like it, you will find the perfect place to work it in!
House is well furnished and decorated, nice collection of material made beautiful.
