Pin It Forward: What Home Means to Me

Today, I'm excited to be part of Victoria of sfgirlbybay's, Pin It Forward. I've been enjoying everyone else's inspiration boards of "What Home Means to You" and I'm thrilled to finally be sharing mine.

My home is the most important place in my life - at the end of the day there is nothing I love more than walking in my front door and seeing the place I love living in. That's probably why it's been so hard for my hubby and I to move all these years. It's a place that brings me enjoy, relaxation and love. Here are a few things I love the most:

1. Crisp Whites: There is nothing love more than having crisp clean whites in a home, especially white linens - it's a MUST.

2. Living room: It's the first place everyone gathers, although the kitchen is another hot spot. It's where people laugh, talk and cry together. If my living room could talk, it would have a million stories to tell.

3. Bedroom: On the weekends, I love sleeping in and staying in bed as long as possible. Waking up and opening a good book is one of my favorite things to do while my husband is still sleeping - he can actually sleep in.

4. Balcony: I've been longing for a balcony - some day, right? The fact that you can watch what's going on around your home is a treat. I'm excited to go back to my hometown to enjoy my mom's lovely balcony. It's one of my favorite spots at her house - in the summer of course.

5. Outdoor Spaces: I'm lucky enough to live right next to a beautiful National park. Because it is only three blocks away, I'm able to take full advantage of it. Whether it's going to sit on the grass to read a book, running through the trails or enjoying the view of the bay, I have always loved being outdoors.

6. Flowers: Is there anything better than fresh flower? I think not. Having fresh flowers in my apartment makes me smile. They bring life to any room.

Hope you enjoyed what home means to me, be sure to take a look at it on Pinterest - here. Next up on Pin-It-Forward: Annie Banana. Thank you Victoria for working with Pinterest to make this all happen!

Great post. I love fresh flowers too. I rarely buy them but most do it more. It's surprising how they can instantly change a room and brighten up your day.

I like lots of color, but I do love white linens! Especially in the bedroom and bath, and in the summer. They seem to visually cool things off. Great post and beautiful board!

I'm trying to incorporate more whites in my home..except for me it would have to be in the form of throw pillows and wall decor.
