With five trips already lined up, October is shaping up to be busier than I'd thought. Though the traveler in me will never tire of boarding a plane, I crave nothing more than a quiet weekend at home to catch up on my life.
When I'm feeling this way - stretched thin and scheduled to the bone - I find myself reaching more than ever to soothing spaces like these.
So I'm curious to know, what does home mean to you?

Home means a lot to me. The story of you travelling a lot right now has reminded me of the time I lived in America. I live in West Africa now. When I came back I new what home meant to me. I loove your blog. And you appear to be very feminine as well. Keep up the nice and elegant work.

nice! Home usually means comfort and soothing energy, until I saw the album of your house in Chicago just now. I think my home needs sprucing up now.
Love that kitchen!
It's funny how we want to be busy, out in the workd accomplishing things and when it happens, we want to go home and relax! I agree with you, I want home to be relaxing, calm, and warm...a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Gorgeous photos. I love the first picture in particular-- creamy clean lines, different heights/sizes of accessories, natural elements like the tree and wood showing through... And just enough color to make you appreciate the contrast while you relax. Beautiful!
I love my home. It makes me smile to see photos of our children, ruffly drapes, shiny tile like jewelry. I agree with Oprah that "your home should rise up to meet you." For the first time in my life, mine does.
Enjoy your travels...you will have so much fun looking back on these years when you're 85!
love this so much!!! the colors are the best and those tree brances throughout the house are amazing!
I completely agree. Your home needs to be your place of solace. These are beautiful examples of tranquil and peaceful living.
Have a wonderful day Crystal:)

peace, family, friends, calm, buzz, love, such a mix of feelings and sensations!!
Beautiful photos Crystal!
Beautiful pictures. Home is my respite from the chaos of the world, home represents my creativity and who i really am, home means family, safety, and where i entertain close friends.:-). xx
I cannot believe how much I have grown to love a dark floor and a white wall. Pure.
When traveling I cant wait to return to my haven, my home. For many years now I can honestly say that after visiting a beautiful home or hotel room I can walk into my home and feel it is just as, if not more, beautiful than where I have been. It is a total respite from the world.
Love the window seat in that first photo. I could dream there all day.
It's a beautiful space. Lovely post.
As I changed quite a few times the place I call home, from town to town or apartment to apartment, I am used to making the space I live in as familiar and comfortable as possible. Even a corner with a photo reminding me of my family and friends can suddenly turn into home :)
