Home Sweet Home

Hello! How are you people? I’ m enjoying the last hours of a very hot Sunday. Last week I was thinking what I could write about and I couldn’t think of any idea which sounded interesting. Finally, I decided to write about one of my passions which is interior decorating. I know it may sound stupid to some of you, but it’s something I really like and enjoy watching and doing. One of the reasons why I like decorating is because sometimes we complain about the place where we live: it’s small, old, ugly, boring, etc. But there are many different ways in which we can change that place, and even with just few elements. Nowadays I live in a small apartment we built some years ago behind my mother’s house. It’s very small, but it is extremely cozy. I really appreciate it because it’s a space I have for my own and in which I can show my interests and style. I love keeping things that belonged to my grandparents, pictures, smells, colours, plants, and everything that make me feel like I’m at home. Most of the things I have at home are recycled or gifts from my family of things they used to have at their houses, so they all have a special meaning for me.

 I don’t know what you think, but I believe that our houses, or bedrooms, are a reflection of our personality. I know that sometimes we dream (or at least I do) with huge and radiant houses by the sea or in the mountains, but I also believe we should take advantage of what we have in this moment and try to make the place where we live as pleasing for ourselves as we can. After all, that’s the place in which we can share with family, friends or just with ourselves, and we deserve to feel at ease with it. So, I hope you feel inspired and show some love to your homes; sometimes it only takes us a few minutes to change something that can make us feel better for a long time.
