At Home: Get Merry And Bright!

Rituals are an important part of our lives, even if they can be boring
at times.  My official marker for winter is an appointment to get the
tires changed on our car.  It's happened. Winter is officially here,
even if we only had a dusting of snow followed by torrential rain.



 Each year as I  approach the end of November, Christmas creeps into my thoughts.

Sunshine in Spain

Morning sunshines! That's exactly what this English couple was looking for when they decided to move to Spain. And lots of sunshine is what they enjoy with large windows in every room and three spacious porches around the house. Lots of beautiful details for you to get inspired. Love to know what you think!

I would say my porch is something like #18 in the sense that you don't have to go down some steps to get to the garden, it's right on it. Does your porch resemble one of these?
