I strongly feel that a house holds the energy of the family within. Walls can be cold or warm depending of the members within. Positive energy is such a powerful thing. Not trying to get too deep on you but I really believe it. On a different level, I think color helps too. Warm tones help comfort a home. Bright tones make a room cheery but be careful of being too cold. Anyway, we have LOTS of pictures of friends and family everywhere. We are totally picture people. I also frame the children's artwork when it's really special. The stairway going down to our lower level ( our recreation rooms) is lined with all these pictures. I think this really helps peronalize our space.<BR/><BR/>Your family members are book lovers so you have so many options there.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I am one of those people whose house is very clean(although not sterile) and organized but still very homey. I have so many people tell me that when they visit. They just feel like all their problems are left at the door. Just have to mention one's home can be both.maxhelcalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600616036612996484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-34390588555505999402008-10-17T01:22:00.000-05:002008-10-17T01:22:00.000-05:00I'll buy your book :-)Have you read "Shelter for t...I'll buy your book :-)<BR/><BR/>Have you read "Shelter for the Spirit" by Victoria Moran? It isn't a housekeeping book but it is a book about making a house a home in a variety of ways.<BR/><BR/>Two others you might enjoy:<BR/>Things I Wish I'd Known Sooner by Edwards<BR/><BR/>Are We Having Fun Yet? by Willis<BR/><BR/>You can probably find them at your library which I am still extremely jealous about ;-)<BR/><BR/>The last two touch on homemaking and are written by moms with 10-12 kids--just like you will be someday! :-)<BR/><BR/>Happy reading and happy homemaking!<BR/>AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11120490995754307409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-48920745381786138882008-10-13T16:20:00.000-05:002008-10-13T16:20:00.000-05:00Seems you've got a wonderful book alread written i...Seems you've got a wonderful book alread written in your head; you just need to put pen to paper so to speak. I think you should go for it (not that you don't have enough on your plate, LOL).Stevens Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841453651203865038noreply@blogger.com
