How to Make a Temporary Place Feel Like Home

written by Lauren Leave a Comment

When it comes to creating a healthy home—both mentally and emotionally—a space truly needs to feel like your own. Without that unmistakable sense of connection, it’s difficult to feel fully at ease. The space can feel impersonal, more like a stopover than a true home. Maybe you’re in a short-term rental for work, a six-month relocation, or a furnished apartment while waiting on your next big move.—it's clean and it’s comfortable, but it doesn’t quite feel like home. It’s the kind of space where you can truly relax—where you can unwind without being distracted by bare walls or furnishings Continue reading...

Amazon Finds: Window Bird Feeders

written by Lauren

I love watching birds in my new window bird feeders!

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. I really love watching the birds in my yard. So I was hoping to watch birds feeding while I work from home.

So I couldn't put the bird feeders where I at first wanted to, and instead mounted my new Kovot Acrylic Window Bird Feeders and Perches on one of my living room bay window's casement-style windows. That window works for my new bird feeders since its screen is on the inside, not Continue reading...
