Creating "Home"

I spent most of today decorating my daughter's apartment (at her request), hoping to give it the warmth and feel of "home." I mixed a few old things, with some new things, and some borrowed things, with some blue things. I loved how it all came together. This color combo is so soothing, and I had no idea it was so popular right now.

Leslie loved it all, and I just got a text from her, saying that she is taking a bath and relaxing in her "pretty home." That makes my tired body feel good as new.

I'm joining Mary's new blog party based around "words" for inspiration. This week the prompt is "HOME." You can find her blog here: Little Red House.

    Great job, Mom. My favorite image is in the lower right corner. I feel an invitation to sit a spell over coffee and ask how she's feeling, what she's thinking, and if the baby's moving much yet. I would smile a lot and listen and feel at home in her lovely space. Makes me miss my girls...

    Oh, dear. *tears*

    Gulp,
    Kelley

    It looks wonderful to me. I can't think of anything I've enjoyed more in the past few years than helping my daughter with her apartment.
