[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws home is so cozy and welcoming.  It's clean and not cluttered (big change from ours).  They have artwork that they've created and collected over the years, beautiful houseplants, and fresh flowers.  It just really seems to reflect them.  They're usually cooking something that smells great.  MIL burns a pine-scented candle around the holidays (just one for the house), which is really nice, and I usually don't like scented candles.

I have trouble relaxing in our own house because I'm faced with a mess that I never seem to tame.  We have really comfortable living room furniture around an area rug that's the baby's play area--that's a nice spot to hang out with the family.  I think paint can make a big difference in how inviting a room feels--I really liked the pale yellow we did in our bedroom, but struck out by painting our living room white.  I don't like giant rooms--some new construction just seems to have such big rooms that you feel lost.  That's hard to change, though.[/quote]

I agree with the last bit. I know super high vaulted ceilings are popular in recent years but boy those houses feel like caverns to me. Those foyers where the ceiling is 30 feet up? Noooooo. I'm now in an airport hangar. [/quote]
