In the hustle and bustle of life, we “keepers of the home” are often giving and sacrificing 24/7. We make sure our kids have room to play and our families have clean clothes and nutritious food to eat. We volunteer, we clean, we host holidays and birthday parties — we work hard!
One thing that is very important to me is that you all know your value and your worth. I want you all to experience happiness and contentment right where you are. You deserve to create a little special place in your home to call your own. A place to take a deep breath, a place to be reminded of all that is good in your life, and a place that makes you smile! Whether you have a whole room to yourself, a little corner, a wall, or even a shelf or a chair, take some time to make it special!
Please welcome my special blogging friend and guest today, Kim from Daisy Cottage. Daisy Cottage is the kind of home that makes you smile. I have invited Kim to share her “special place” in Daisy Cottage to inspire us!
Welcome Kim!
Thank you so much Melissa for the honor of having the opportunity to share one of my favorite spots in Daisy Cottage with your readers – my office and its’ view of the living room.
I love being in here, as it is where I blog, write, read, dream, and enjoy visiting other beautiful bloggers, such as yourself. It is my little room to simply be or to gain inspiration from my books, magazines, and the sweet tokens of friendship that I’ve been blessed to receive from my sister bloggers and readers. It is a happy place and very dear to me.
My wish for ALL keepers of the home, is that they not only fill every corner of their nests with the colors and things that they love and that truly makes their heart sing, but I hope that they, too, claim their own special spot in their homes just for them.
I would like to encourage them to surround themselves with whatever inspires them and reaffirms to them that they are special and unique, not only to their families but to our world. Because they ARE. All homemakers have SO much to give and are precious, one-of-a-kind souls — definitely worthy of having their own little space to call their own.
Do you have a special corner to call you own?
Tell us about it in the comments, or dream about what it would be like!

I am a HUGE fan of Kim’s so was tickled to read her post here. I have to agree that my office/study is where I spend a lot of time on projects, communicating, planning, writing and my photography. I decorated it in 2004 and it’s still very much a room I want to spend time in. I will have to post about it some time- great idea!

I too am a big fan of Kim’s, her blog, her friendship. She is just such a precious person, and oh so talented. Kim has incredible style and is such an inspiration. I’m working now on putting my office/studio together and a lot of the ideas I’ve gleaned from Kim. ♥

This beautiful website is one of my favorites. Always fresh and creative.
Great post! One that’s inspired be to carve out a little place of my own in our apartment. I’m looking around and thinking of where? and with what? I’ve got some ideas; my farm house table as a desk for starters!
Oh Kim,
You are always soo inspiring and encouraging! Such an angel. My office is in what would be the third bedroom of our house if it were big enough. It is the perfect size for my office though. Lately I’ve been unhappy with how it looks and feels but couldn’t imagine what I could do to change it. Now thanks to you, I have been inspired. I now know what it needs….some nice bright fabric for curtains and a “skirt” to hang around my desk and a nice cheerful table cloth for my work table. A few colorful pictures/frames on the walls would help too. Out with the old! In with the new!
Thanks for turning on my light bulb Kim. xo Colette

My favorite is my bath– a place to relax, light a candle, soak in bubbles and reflect on my day!

My favourite spot is the family room sofa with an ottoman, a fire, a cup of tea and a book … or when I am in a craft mode my office/craft room. It is a pale yellow with red toile drapes and chair cushions and pictures of past project to inspire me.
