The difference between a house and a home

Is not the size of the living room.
It does not depend on how comfy is the bed or whether you have a fireplace or not.

The difference lies in the details, those little things that are part of your story, happily hanging from the walls or standing on the shelves. All the special objects that you have gathered over time and will slowly start giving personality to a place.

Having said that, I am about to share with you a small selection of all those things that make me feel at home every day.

Enjoy.
