A Journal With Everything

Create A Warm and Welcoming Home

Prompt: "My goal is always create a warm and welcoming home that enriches the lives of the people living there."

I love to decorate with tea pots, tea cups, dolls, stuffed animals, blue willow ceramics, throw pillows, a table cloth on a dining room table with my Jane Austen Tea Pot and matching cups, my jewelry box on legs in the bedroom, a straw hat on a pole, decorative items on my faux fireplace, books, dolls on the top of the book case, a brown stuffed horse next to my Heartland DVD's. A Beatles picture, Jesus picture, lighthouse picture, Victorian House picture, Wedding gown shadow box. Okay. I take a breath. I love my Pioneer Woman Ree Barbie Doll on my kitchen counter and my autographed Ree Pioneer woman Cookbook next to my cutting board. My scrapbooks are in a boo case next to another room. A brass bed with flowered porcelain balls, cherry wood furniture, a cat tower in the living room, a navy blue sailor look couch and Queen Anne Dining Room table. A neat computer room desk with shelves and a Jane Austen Doll on my side. A doll house by my white wicker couch in my room edition.

I feel this defines who I am and guests are welcome to visit me. I will give them a snack, bake a cake and I hope my house reminds you of a decorated room in Victoria Magazine. This is what I try for. Our home is our castle.
