Today’s conversation is about making a house a home and does that even matter?

Making a house a home is one of my favorite things to do. I should have been a designer. I love houses … all sorts of houses.

When I was a young girl, I had a paper route. The fourth week of every month, I was out at night to collect the fees from subscribers. It was usually dark outside, and with lights on inside, I could investigate homes as I went from house to house. I created stories around the lives of the people who I thought must live in each house.

Honestly, that might have started my love of homes. Cape Cod, Mediterranean, colonial, Paris apartment or Boston condo…. I still love them all and still enjoy going on home tours and imagine how I would live in the space. How and where I would spend my time? Where would I read a book, work on projects, entertain my family and friends?
