THE GRATITUDE EDIT: FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOUR HOME AGAIN

laughter, tears, and probably a few (or many) cocktails.

Okay, decor lovers… let’s get real for a sec. November isn’t just about turkey, pie, and pretending you love your aunt’s green bean casserole. It’s about gratitude. And while gratitude journals and daily affirmations are fab, I’m here to remind you that one of the most powerful ways to practice gratitude… is by falling in love with your home again. Here’s the thing… we spend soooooooo much time noticing what’s wrong with our spaces (that corner we haven’t styled, that rug we swore we’d replace cuz the dog won’t stop peeing in that spot, that art we never got around to hanging) that we forget to appreciate what’s right. This month, I want you to slow down and actually see your home. The soft light that hits your couch just right in the morning. The cozy blanket that’s been with you through every Netflix binge. The dinner table that’s hosted

Gratitude shifts how we experience our spaces. When you love your home, it loves you back… it calms you, grounds you, and makes life feel a little softer around the edges. So before you run out to buy all the holiday decor (you know who you are, and I love you for it!), take a moment to say thank you. To your home. To yourself. To the life happening right inside those walls. Because gratitude looks good on a room… and decor lover, it looks damn good on you too! Happy Thanksgiving!
