finding joy in your home



Today I walked around with my cell phone and took pictures of my favorite corners of my home.  It surprised me what ended up on my phone as I looked around.  Even the mess in my craft room made the list.  I think it is important to surround yourself with joy.  Life on the outside of my walls can be crazy and I want to come home and escape from the world outside.  I want to be inspired and feel relaxed in my home. 

Joy Inducers 

childrens art work
books
mason jars
typography
home baked goodies
pictures of friends and family
chalkboards...my favorite
cameras....obviously a must in my home.
momentos from your travels
moleskine notebooks
well worn aprons
gifts from loved ones
art work
cozy corners
color filled rooms
messes created out of talents or hobbies
canvas bags
linen fabrics
puppies
plants
bowls
baskets
and the list goes on....

What is in your home that brings you joy?  Do you need more joy in your home?  Are you overlooking items that might need enhancing?  Take a photo walk around your home.  The results might surprise you.
