A bed, a couch and a wifi connection!

My cats

Home is not a place. Home is a person...

A bed, tv, internet and air conditioning

Books. Fossils on the wall (I don't really do art, sorry). Small, cobbled together stereo that punches way above its weight sound quality wise. Plants. Cats. Between 1-4 of my spawn flopping on me/the couch/the floor. That'll do.

Coziness, books, and my animals.

An air conditioner.

When I was laying in a hospital bed, an 18 year old broken and maybe beyond repair I listened to 4 CDs time after time. Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon has a line
Home, home again,
I like to be there when I can
and when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Every place I have lived had an open fire, with a comfy chair beside it to relax in and be warmed added to that a thick rug, for my dogs to lay on around that chair.
I have an extensive library, an expensive, now shrinking, art collection, kept a sizable cellar - but that chair beside the fire surrounded by my dogs is what defined HOME

I need a comfortable place to rest and read/use my Kindle and phone, with chargers; music; art and craft supplies, and my dog. I prefer quiet, and I do have some favorite art; I also love anything with sunflowers and very simple decor. Everything else is gravy.

It depends on the house I am decorating. I will choose furniture to suit the house. Color wise, I don't like beige, or pastel painted walls, and only paint a room white if it is the only color that works for that room. I prefer earth tones 90% of the time and generally go with darker colors on the walls. The only style I won't attempt is Early American as it is really ugly and I have never been able to figure out away to make it look better. I like mixing styles and pieces when possible. I live in a travel trailer at this time, so I was limited in what I could do, but I made it work for me.

For me, books. Lots of books. This is my bedroom. More in the living room.

Its homey if I smell dogs.

My house is a reminder of all of the places my family traveled when I was a kid and when I became an adult...I try not to collect specific things, but little treasures that I can incorporate and use.

I have a favorite tablecloth in blue and white from Greece; a vase made of porcupine quills from Ethiopia; hand embroidered birds on silk from Japan; little wooden shoes from Holland...all things that have a story, a memory...

I have art from fellow artists and music from fellow musicians...I have way too many books...

I think a home is comfy when it is not too overwhelmed with stuff, but still shows a bit of the story of those who live there...a place where friends can take off their shoes, put their feet up, hug a handmade pillow or quilt, open the fridge to grab a tea or beer, and chat about everything under the sun...

Sounds like your home is a great place to be as well...
