Home is where the heart is.This I realized over the ten years of being married and living in seven houses
Every moment of my life is a chance to make a beautiful story.It’s also a chance to be happier.
Three years back one day when I was morosely reading one blog after another I found the inspired room.net.That’s Melissa Michael’s blog and she was just getting ready to launch her new book.
Love the Home you have!
If phone screens could speak it spoke to me.I was part of her launch team and that book changed my life.
It made me realize that I was missing out on making my corner of this earth a cocoon, by fixating on an object.
A house is a shelter.A home is where you find peace, comfort, and happiness.While owning the shelter is always preferred, being a homeowner takes time and money.
While I started planning for the future house I made my current shelter a home.I made the balconies my little green spaces.
I made the window gardens, I made built-in look alike to get over the storage crisis.Got our rocking chair and just made life comfortable.
Thank you home for helping me be my most creative and happy place.
My favorite quotes from the book Love the Home you Have

As a home decor blogger I can really appreciate this post. It’s not always the material things that matter, but the people who live inside the home. Thanks for this.
Those quotes are nuggets of wisdom. I loved reading them. We too got a few things customized to suit our taste and functionality.
Hey for reasons I am not sure why I am not able to add my link to the linky. This happened for the last week’s prompt too. Please see if you can add the link to the list –
Love the quote that talks about going out into thw world, achieving and welcoming ourselves back. So true !
Those quotes are great! Sometimes our home is a mess but it always feels better when we show it some love!
I so much agree to this post. Lovely quotes ! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this lovely reminder – love the home you have. And the life you live, as much as you can. It’s so easy for everyone to compare and get caught up in Pinterest design homes, but really… it’s about the people and family.
I want to read this book now. The quotes are so lovely, wonder what the book has in store for us. Thanks for sharing, Amrita. Beautiful post.
No matter where we go or how long for we always need to get back to the comfort of our homes which we are accustomed to.A space we call our own.
Oh I love that quote that it inspires us to get into to the world and then come back to refresh. beautiful said.
It is unto us to transform our homes to grace it with joy and positive vibes.
Thankyou Amrita for sharing those wonderful quotes.
Im a house proud person, loved reading and relating to each word of your blog post
It is definitely true that home is what you make it! A house is just a place until it is filled with love and laughter.
Your home is where you design your life. You live, you fight but live the most important part of your life. Home gives happiness and owning one is the biggest dream that can come true post finding your loved one for sure
Every moment of the life is a chance for sure. Our shelters can be very well transformed into Home provided we have a wish and will to do it!
Thanks Amrita for sharing wise quotes from Melissa’a book.
I needed to read this now. I have been a bit low as I wanted to do much more with my house (hubby’s) and it feels right to read this.
Loved this post, especially reading about another author’s launch team. I am in the process of forming a “street team” – which will need a new name! Launch team sounds a good possibility!
Good idea! I have moved around a few times in the past few years and tend to ignore my home and not put the effort into it of making it a home. I should put in more effort.
