There is beauty in living in a small space, as a child. Some aspects of it are so beautiful, and it's so nice to not see the darkness. But then, in other ways, there's a whole range of experience that's being missed because of it.
If you live in a small space, you should do the things that make it feel luxurious.
I liked living with my brothers. It was cozy.
Furniture should always be comfortable. And always have a piece of art that you made somewhere in the home.
Going outside is highly overrated.
It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.
Home should be the center of joy, equatorial and tropical.
Cats at firesides live luxuriously and are the picture of comfort.
I have this cozy house here and I get three pensions from the States. I've done nicely.
I know how I like my house. I like it cute and cozy and a little funky, and I like it to feel lived in and worn, and I like the things inside of it to work. That's all. And for me, it's fine that my house's interior suggests that I might not spend every waking moment thinking about how it looks.

A house with no fireplace is a house without a heart.
Some sensible person once remarked that you spend the whole of your life either in your bed or in your shoes. Having done the best you can by shoes and bed, devote all the time and resources at your disposal to the building up of a fine kitchen. It will be, as it should be, the most comforting and comfortable room in the house.
I think to make your home as comfortable as possible is so important. There’s something really interesting about that as a trend, that whole idea of lifestyle and being happy in your surroundings.
My home is my castle, and I spend a lot of time nurturing it, redecorating - moving this and adjusting that, adding flowers and candles.
