In some circles, this compliment is the kiss of death, but I wanted to understand exactly what people meant. They seemed to like my space, after all, but why? <br /><br />I have found some great articles defining "homey," and your blog was just one such text. You've done a nice job of detailing many of the little things that really do make a house a home. In a nutshell, it seems we simply have to live somewhere, really live there, for it to be homey. <br /><br />All I did was set out to include all the things I most enjoy and find comforting or beautiful, both inside and out. I also try to update my home a bit here and there to show it is loved--rather they way people do for their family members. You know, they iron their kids clothes and make sure they have nice clean shoes and underwear. These are signs that someone cares. Homes are rather like that. I think it shows when we care about them.<br /><br />Thanks so much for blogging! <br />Lou Ann from the Rake-A-Lot Ranch<br /><br />.Meanwhile, back at the Rake-A-Lot Ranch . . .https://www.blogger.com/profile/01253808952217149751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-60759372613982121632011-10-13T08:25:53.026-05:002011-10-13T08:25:53.026-05:00I love your ideas, most sites just tell you how to...I love your ideas, most sites just tell you how to decorate to make your home look homey but I didn't think to leave a few projects/books out. I think this is a good idea. I'm a neat freak and sometimes feel it does make my house look a little cold but that don't mean I can't stack my projects and books neatly out in the open. I also like to bake cookies right before my kids come home so the house will smell good or have somthing going in the crockpot all day.mchristinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-84945111407199554092011-01-16T16:53:11.953-06:002011-01-16T16:53:11.953-06:00Hi kelli, i love this post and i just adore your b...Hi kelli, i love this post and i just adore your blog, its packed full of fun and interesting stuff to do and read.<br />I hope you share your ideas on our new website hun .<br />Best of luck to you<br />wendy xxxwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749500592259217326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1149606533687937742006-06-06T10:08:00.000-05:002006-06-06T10:08:00.000-05:00Hi Dot, I like things neat too...I can't think str...Hi Dot, I like things neat too...I can't think straight if things get too messy.<BR/>Sandra, plants and pets are great additions to the list! <BR/>KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959889019639336499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1149471369388722862006-06-04T20:36:00.000-05:002006-06-04T20:36:00.000-05:00Hi Kelli, I have the same book and need to pull i...Hi Kelli, I have the same book and need to pull it out again and do some reading. I also like things picked up and in order. Also, books and plants/flowers make a home cozy I think. Oh and a few pets around helps too.!<BR/><BR/>SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919043603767131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1149469070612061872006-06-04T19:57:00.000-05:002006-06-04T19:57:00.000-05:00Cosy to me is neat so I have to keep things picked...Cosy to me is neat so I have to keep things picked up behind my husband.
