Timber house in Washington
MThank you all so much for the kind and encouraging comments on my last post. Reading your messages truly warmed my heart and reminded me how wonderful it is to be part of a community that values authenticity and thoughtful home design. Your words affirmed that I’ve found my people here — caring, creative, and eager to make homes that reflect who we are.
I often wish we could be neighbors in real life. I genuinely enjoy connecting with you and hearing about how you make your homes meaningful. It feels like such a blessing to be surrounded by people who are so supportive and inspiring. 🙂
Just a reminder that tomorrow we’ll begin the Love Your Home Challenge! Every Sunday for the next several weeks I’ll post seven simple, doable challenges you can try during the week. The idea is to focus on small projects that make a real difference — tidying, decorating, and adding thoughtful touches that make our spaces feel more comfortable and personal.
I’m thrilled that many of you plan to participate. If you’d like to share photos of your progress, please post them on Instagram with the hashtag #loveyourhomechallenge or join Home Love Stories to share your projects and connect with other home lovers. It’s free to join and you don’t need a blog to post—just come share your home projects and we’ll be there to cheer you on.
The goal of the Love Your Home Challenge is to have fun, feel accomplished, and make our homes a bit tidier, prettier, and more meaningful for ourselves and our families. Small, consistent efforts add up to spaces that feel refreshed and intentional.
