home

Up until now I have been hesitant to show much of my home. We have lived in this house for just about a year now and there is still SO much to be done, and to be honest we haven't really begun. The usual time and financial constraints mean I have been concentrating my attention and money elsewhere.

However, recently I have been so inspired by pictures of other peoples homes, that I feel that with a little attention I can maybe start to begin to love my home better. I am thinking that although I cannot make big changes at the moment, I can start small - searching out vintage pieces at thrift stores and boot sales - freshing-up paintwork, framing photos and artwork for the walls.

What I thinking I am finally getting, is that you don't need to spend a fortune at the department store to make a house a home, and I don't think that's the look and feel I'm looking for anyway.

decorating ones home is a never ending and evoling process.

I rent, and so I've done only the little home improvement touches to make the house feel like home, a process I always enjoy I must say. I long to have my own house to really make our own home.

I agree that decorating ones home never ends! I have just started to add our own touches to our place which we bought fully furnished two years ago! It takes time, creativity and patience, its great you have started!
