The mess. The lived in look is what makes it ours!

fifimummy · 29/11/2015 23:55

Letting the non essential mess slide!!!
I clean and tidy.....honest I do :O But people visiting generally know that they will have to step over hotwheels cars and shopkins....possibly on their way up the stairs as they are lined up on parade xx
I like it that Gracie & Henry can do that and not get shouted at xxxx

my lovely wife and son

The mess my kids make

skyeskyeskye · 30/11/2015 10:19

what makes it a home is the fact that it has a lived in look, toys and books scattered around and DD's soft toys everywhere. It is comfortable and casual. I like it tidy, but not "show home" tidy, as that does not make me feel comfortable.

katkatgu · 30/11/2015 10:49

The people in it :-)

lhlee62 · 30/11/2015 11:01

My 2 loony daughters, it wouldn't be a home without them running around and making a mess!

chrismse · 30/11/2015 11:34

Family, presents under the tree, the stockings hanging up and everyone helping prepare the dinner.

mwatmough · 30/11/2015 11:47

My family

feeona123 · 30/11/2015 12:00

Pictures, mess and toys!

funkyfish586 · 30/11/2015 12:05

I have a real thing about smells in a home and certain smells are just so homely. I like to have lots of candles around so the house smells nice & the low lighting makes it lovely :)

cookie09 · 30/11/2015 12:21

My kids and dogs make my house my home, but the added warmth of the fire on with lovely yankee candles burning away make it!

moonray · 30/11/2015 13:19

Our cats make our house a home, they're so loving and we all adore them!

jazzitup · 30/11/2015 13:59

My good lady paints and I display her creations in our house which turns it in to our home.

nicholalw · 30/11/2015 14:31

Family, laughter, good rugs, home baking, candles and all of our trinkets!

helly27 · 30/11/2015 15:47

The fact that it looks lived in and not a show house

lynwestie · 30/11/2015 16:03

We always have a real tree with traditional type baubles and lights.. lots of candles, decorated fireplaces and most importantly family and its usual organised chaos

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 30/11/2015 16:27

Scented candles, log burner roaring, little decorations/ornaments dotted about, nice painting on the wall.

cheryl100 · 30/11/2015 16:59

Family makes my home! Plus I just love my home comforts, such as my fluffy pillows, thick carpets and comfy sofa!

DingleberryFinn · 30/11/2015 19:05

Our cat. :)

Happyjad · 30/11/2015 19:17

The cat rubbing herself against my leg and wanting attention and food makes me feel like I am home :D

Cailin7 · 30/11/2015 20:14

family and pets

seeingdouble2 · 30/11/2015 21:24

my family make it home - simple :)

chrisfc99 · 30/11/2015 21:30

Love makes our house a home, particularly at Christmas when family and friends come round.

buckley1983 · 30/11/2015 21:34

The nights drawing in & being cosy & warm indoors, the twinkly Christmas lights & all the gorgeous ornaments jostling for space on the mantel piece - I love switching the lights on & basking in the comforting glow & feeling all snuggly & at peace with the world curled up with my LO :) x
