Liz, thank you for this. Yes, it matters. The idea and practice of Home as Sanctuary affirms that, along with creaturely comforts, we also flourish with spiritual comforts in our every day human lives. The physical and the spiritual are inseparable threads that weave together in a loving home. I admire how you see a freshness in the changing seasons and bring those longings into the way you and your wife create a sense of Home together.
I do the same thing, decorating my apartment with the seasons. I like to change my bedcover to something darker during the cold months and softer tones in Spring/Summer, I also have a different wooden decor to hang at my front door (a birdhouse for Spring, a snowflake for Winter, for Christmas a wreath made by grandmother). Sometimes I also switch around books on my bookcase and shelves. I really like your desk setup with all the notebooks 😊
I loved reading this and seeing into your beautiful, considered home. I absolutely agree, windows open but candles, and I love bringing in spring blooms and this year have some seeds indoors that are sprouting! We also decorated a blossom branch with some painted eggs this year which felt very spring-like. Like you said about ‘shopping’ from your home, I only do what I am drawn to in order to keep it simple and feeling natural xx
I loved reading about how you change the mood of your home to match the season. I have always had a great appreciation for how you decorate your home. It always looks refreshing and inviting. I think it does matter now too despite all that is currently happening. Mental health is very important and having a home that you feel comfortable and content in helps improve mental health. At least, I think it probably does. This for creating this cozy corner for all your readers to enjoy. It really is a nice change from what all I have been focused on lately. It’s also a good reminder to check in with myself more and to make sure my home environment feels nurturing.
