What home feels like.
The sunlight streaming in too early while you grumble and stick your head under the pillow
Saturday morning shrieks from the kitchen while I attempt to sleep in
The nursery rocking chair where I hold you while you sleep
The knicked up walls that have suffered the wrath of playtime
The white bedding you make into a fort on the weekends
The lonely soccer ball in the middle of a freshly mowed backyard
The pantry full of Cheerios and goldfish
The sock drawer full of love notes
The bedside table full of each of our half read books
The paint spots on the ceiling that we were too lazy to correct
The kitchen table decorated with dead flowers more often than live ones
The sailboat we bought for Jack in New York that never leaves the bathtub
The colourful polka dot bath mat
The shag living room rug full of Cheerios and goldfish and things I don’t want to know about
The kitchen floor that stays toy free only while we sleep
The pile of laundry that never shrinks
The half painted door in our bedroom that we ‘meant to finish’ over the last two years
The entryway full of little sneakers and big sneakers
The stool you stand on to peek out the window
The collection of mismatched markers we bought for you and soon after tried to hide in the top drawer of the nursery dresser
The little socks found in between cushions, under the bed, under the rug, stuffed in books
The white kitchen chairs with dirty little footprints all over them
That’s what home feels like.
This is so so sweet. I love it!
Home is where we feel the most at ease and allow ourselves be vulnerable. Love the design of your place 🙂

Lovely interior! Exactly liked green bear 🙂
I love the look. It looks so clean and modern. I love line and no clutter.
“The lonely soccer ball in the middle of a freshly mowed backyard” –> yes. I sometimes feel guilty about the trampoline, water table, pretend lawn mower and random toys that litter our front yard, but oh well: they’re signs of a happy and playful childhood for my girls.
