This great painting of a Flamenco duet that I bought at an estate sale. Colorful and full of movement--it propels the style of the whole house.

The scrapbooks I have been working on for my kids, but mostly for myself so that I will have them to look at when they are grown.

my stereo system - nothing else. Everything else is stuff, my stereo is my connection with music, my favourite art form.

Two hardcarved black leather Bergere chairs I found at an antique store. I love the lines, the texture, the golden tone of the wood...Everytime I look at them, my soul smiles.

I cherish knowing that my home is where I keep the special things that belonged to family members I have lost. I have my mom's beautiful china and my grandma's gorgeous teacups, my brothers special things and letters from years gone by. I have our family history handwritten by my grandfather. All the rest is stuff. By my home houses my treasures.

My huge Venetian mirror. It's ornate but somehow neutral, it goes with everything, and it doesn't take up any space.

Other than that, I value negative space - the presence of absence.

And fresh flowers.

A few decoration pieces, souvenirs from fun travels, have made me feel at home in all the different places I lived in in the past three years.

I look forward to coming home each day to relax. I have two boys so my home is always noisy, so I love walking into my room, closing the door and laying in my bed; its quiet and comfy. I love the picture table I created with all the family photos. I am very sentimental so photos keep me in touch of where we've been and it brings great memories to talk about over and over again.

I cherish the homeyness in my wee apartment and especially on days like today with the rain. I love to be cosy with the fireplace on and a good movie or book.

I cherish that my husband and father worked together to transform our house from a tacky late seventies house into as close to a modern loft-like space as you can get by taking it down to the studs and rebuilding it with their own hands. I cherish all of the antiques that we've received from great-grandparents', grandparents and parents that fit into our home and our lives as if they were made just for us.

It is the same vintage as me (we are both 1940's from humble beginnings). Not to big not too small. It tells me my story but has space for others to feel comfortable and at home too. That is what I cherish the most is this space I have taken a life time to create welcomes others like a stylish but very confortable pair of slippers. A home not a house.

My yoga mat! When I'm on it everything is smoother: I flow and breathe and become present. Just looking at it in the corner of my living room brings a bit of peace into my busy life.

My space. Being who I truly am! Quiet time. my office where my personal schedule & travel plans are made. My soft bed. the African and African American art displayed in the living room. My family tree which tells me from which I've come. My kitchen where creations are made: some good, some not so good...but it's still mine to make! I have freedom in my home! To dance naked. Scream. Cry. Laugh. Celebrate. Dream.

My rescue cat 'Honey Buns' whom I look forward to seeing every-time I come home, my collection of rosaries because each one was bought to represent a specific time and place (they have become sacred bookmarks for special memories) and my extensive collection of scented body-wash & bubble bath. Hey a girl needs to have pretty smelling things to truly relax.

What I cherish most about my home is yet to be discovered because we are about to embark on a wall to wall, floor to ceiling renovation. It might be the hardwood floors (my answer to Carrie's question during my SS session about what I'd like most to have if money were not an issue), the new kitchen or the simple soaker tub with back recline for reading in the bath, one of my favorite pasttimes. Or I might discover it's still the light coming in all the south-facing windows!

The skylights my husband installed as my birthday gift are the most wonderful thing! I work at home, and I'm practically solar powered, so that extra daylight is phenomenal. The greatest gift!

I enlarged a photo from our wedding, which I gave to my husband for our first wedding anniversary. It is a close up of us standing on my parents' back porch. All of our family and friends are gathered on the ground below us. Every time someone comes over, I can point out family members or friends pick themselves out of the crowd.

i cherish my pictures of my family. i have photographs of my grandmother, my aunt, both whom have passed away and those pictures are beautiful. i also have beautiful pictures of me and my son moments after he was born. he was the most beautiful thing that i had ever seen. those pictures were taken by my husband so that makes them all the more special.

Getting rid of stuff can be amazingly cathartic. The last two times we've moved house, we've been ruthless about eliminating not just junk but things that take up more space than they create value in our lives.

morning sun on my balcony...a large closet all to myself...the bathtub...an open view...a kitchen I can work with...an office with doors...silence when i come home at night...even construction noise during the day (progress!)...and location location location. a lot to cherish in 463 square feet! reminds me of that quote, it's not the space but the life you live in it.
