Earlier in the week, I received an email requesting a post about sitting room side tables. The reason behind the request: they found it frustrating as a guest, to not have anywhere to put their drink. It got me thinking.

It’s all very well crating a beautiful looking living space, but are our homes the most comfortable they can be? 

It’s easy to get ‘home blind’, so often the best way to refine our home is to hear what other people miss when they come to visit.  

I know we’re a little (OK, VERY) out of practise when it comes to entering each other’s homes – even so, when I asked friends and family for their pet peeves, the list was long (and often very funny)!

Examples included: getting pet fur all over their clothes (while making the mistake of wearing black!), having nowhere to hang their coat in the hallway and not knowing whether they should take their shoes off or not. My sister also mentioned ‘men walking around in their smalls’ (not sure who she’s been hanging out with?!). 

So today, I thought I’d throw it out there:  

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comment section below. 

I’ll be taking note so that I can make small changes to my home for the better – and when this pandemic blows over I might just be a better host too! I hope you’ll feel inspired too! 

Happy Friday friends, have a wonderful weekend!
