The importance of little corners that are just for you - - -
just to look pretty. Don't need to cost much, don't need to be fancy.
Little corners of you.

I am of the very firm belief that making a house a home and a haven is of utmost importance. I believe it to be an art, a privilege, an honor. I believe that beauty matters, even in the littlest corners and the teeniest nooks and crannies. I believe these things because I believe that home matters. It should be the place where we are rooted and settled and the most comfortable. It should be the place we long to be the most. Home should be the best place on earth to us. And to make a home a comforting haven, a safe place, a beautiful, lifegiving sanctuary...that, dear ones, is priceless.
These are a few of my little corners...
I hope they inspire you to make your own little corners.
Because they matter.
Beauty matters.
I have paired these photos with some of my most favorite quotes from Susan Branch, as she is certainly another home-loving heart.
One day you'll wake up and notice the sounds of your house, the hum of the refrigerator, the sound of the furnace, and you'll be aware of how deeply your days have been filled with noise, and how lovely it is to hear the twitter of birds, the wind in the trees.
