What's your favorite thing in your home?

My round dining table - we eat dinner on it every night and it really fosters conversation.

I want a round table! We don't have to space.

Honestly, only some of DS' artwork. Most of our furniture was my in-laws'. The things that we have bought ourselves aren't anything special. Pretty sad.

Other than that, a quilt I made for my children. It hangs on the wall, and has their pictures with sayings from our crazy Irish family.

I'd like to join your "yoga" group!

Sad, but true. Mine is our TV. It was our only pre-baby splurge b/c we both love movies and figured we wouldn't get a chance to go very often once baby arrived. So true. Now, 5 years and two kids later, it's still my favorite thing in the house...

Is it sad that I cannot think of one thing I like that I have in my home?
How about this - the coffeepot and my burr grinder.

I love everything in my home. It is what makes my home...my escape...my sanctuary, and I love coming home to it every night. It sounds cheesy, but I really do love my home.

Me too. My new black round table and chairs from Ikea are my favorite things. What makes it even better is knowing that we got a good deal. The chairs were being closed out at $12 each and the whole thing cost less than $250. Sweet!

I say this with no snark, nastiness, or anything else that could be construed as ugly.

I am happy for you. Everyone needs a sanctuary, and if it is your home, that is a blessing.

My books. My old photo albums. My collection of postcards.

The huge playroom in the basement for the kids. I can shut the door and do much less pickup of toys.
The garden tub - nothing better than a book, glass of wine and water running to drown out the kids.
My dog.

I'm with the home-is-my-sanctuary poster. I love my house. I love my kitchen - everything about it and hanging out in it and that we can eat in it (originally it wasn't eat in, we renovated). I love our TV and vegging out on the couch. I love our furniture that our cat has destroyed with his claws.

I love that our house is old and the hardwood floors creak. I love my comfortable bed and my daughter's room with all her books and animals and ladybag night light and rocking chair!!!

I HATE our 1940s tiny bathroom that we all share. But maybe one day we will redo it. Unfortunately it probably won't get any bigger but we'll live.

Ugh - right there with you! I would love a bathroom remodel. We can't make ours bigger either, but at least it would be updated and I wouldn't have to stare at cracked turqoise tile with black edges every time I take a shower.

My children and DH. W/out them it wouldn't be a home.
