A few years ago, when I started staying at home full-time, I didn’t realize how much my house really needed attention. With all the work, family stuff, and trying to sneak in a little time to relax, the house was always the last thing on my mind. But being at home all day made me see everything clearly.
Suddenly, I couldn’t ignore the mess, the old furniture, and all the little things I had been ignoring for years. It was like I was seeing the house with fresh eyes. But even though I knew it needed fixing, with everything happening, finding the time or energy to deal with it felt like a huge task I wasn’t sure I could handle. With work piling up and everything else going on, tackling it seemed like something impossible to do.
At the time, we were living in a rental while waiting for our new house to be built. It was a strange in-between phase where I didn’t want to invest too much into making the rental feel like home. After all, it was temporary. Instead of getting stuck in that mindset, I focused on small touches—things that made the space cozy but wouldn’t feel like wasted effort when we moved.
That experience taught me a lot. I started dreaming about how I could make our new home feel uniquely ours—not just stylish but warm, lived-in, and full of personality. I didn’t want a cookie-cutter look. I imagined blending modern elements with vintage finds and adding seasonal touches to keep things feeling fresh all year.

Adding a Personal Touch to Valentine’s Day Decor
Fast forward a few years after settling into our home, and I discovered how much I love decorating for smaller holidays, especially Valentine’s Day. Unlike the big productions like Christmas, Valentine’s Day feels more intimate—a chance to focus on little details that make a space feel warm and inviting.
For me, it’s not about filling the space with hearts and bright red everywhere. I love adding personal touches—soft lighting, cherished keepsakes, and handmade accents. It’s more about creating a cozy, loving vibe for the family than sticking to the usual themes.
This year, I’ve been checking out Etsy for Valentine’s decor and found so many unique pieces. Supporting small businesses makes everything feel even more special, and it’s a great way to find things that really stand out.
Even though Valentine’s Day is such a short celebration, decorating for it has become a way to slow down, appreciate the little moments, and fill our home with love. It’s those small, thoughtful touches that make the season feel magical.
