Good Quotes: On Feeling At Home

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

-Maya Angelou

What makes you feel at home in a space? When you moved into your current home, what's the first thing you did to claim the space as your own?

Having everything clean and taken care of makes all the difference. First priority is to fix broken things and refinish peely surfaces. I'd rather keep a style I'm not in love than do some DIY to achieve a look in a half-assed, hacky way.

simply making sure I have adequate organizational and storage furniture.

bookshelves, cabinets, boxes, and racks.

as long as everything has a place to be put away to, I can get the decorating part done at my leisure.

What makes me feel "moved in" is setting up my closet. It's just not home until my clothes are there!
