I don’t know about you, but I always find myself dwelling on what still needs to be done around our house, rather than enjoying the things we’ve already done. When you love “home improvement,” I think it’s easy to have that tendency. So, to keep things positive for this month’s Send Me a Picture post, I asked several design bloggers to send me one picture that sums up what they love most about their homes.
SEND ME A PICTURE:
What I Love Most About My Home
What I love most about my home . . . are unexpected touches like our barn door.
Ashli, Mini Manor blog
What I love most about our home is our Living Room. It’s where we spend the most time as a family, playing games or curling up to watch movies. It has great vaulted ceilings and is painted in a vibrant green that makes me smile the moment I enter the room. To keep it warm and cozy we have filled it with touches of our family through photographs, special books and cherished art projects.
Jennifer Jones, IHeart Organizing
What I love most about my home is the built in bookcase in my living room. It was made for me as a Christmas gift last year. Styling it is certainly a work in project, but its potential is what excites me! The room now feels complete without the awkward, empty alcove which was there before.
Jane Gallant, Modern Jane Design
What I love most about my home from a design perspective is my office wallpaper. It look me a long time to narrow down my final selection, but I’m so happy with the end result! I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it!
Marianne Simon, Style For Living
My living room is in a state of being re-decorated, and I’m sort of in-between right now, but this spot is probably my favorite of what I’ve done so far. I love the little vintage kilim rug pillow on the sofa, and my new tree in the corner!
Kristen F. Davis, KFD Designs
What I love most about our home is that even though it’s a rental, I’ve personalized it for us – including our cat Sephora. Being in a new space has allowed new ways to view & group existing pieces together to tell the story of us – from photos of NYC to palm fronds representing Miami. Most recently, hubs brought home a cow skull & horns, which will be an interesting element to add and now represent us living in Arizona.
Lynda Quintero-Davids (aka NYCLQ), Focal Point Styling

Great homes. Love this post.
i die. i love that barn door in the dining room on the top pic. i want to do those in my house, to reflect our horsies :)
These are soo inspiring! I agree, I see what needs to be done! There are some amazing ideas and spaces here!!!
I love your positive spin on this post, Emily. You’re so right, it’s very easy to get focused on the ‘what next’ instead of appreciating the ‘right now.’
Thank you so much for having me as a guest today! Loved being a part of your fab series! xo
Loving this series!
I think my favorite is Mariannes wallpaper. To die for.
So true… I think more about my list and what all is left to do than what I’ve done a lot of the time. Great post!
All such beautiful, beautiful rooms!!!
Great post! Beautiful rooms by talented designers.
Happy Wednesday.

Nice to see other bloggers favorite parts of their homes! Marianne…the Wisteria is fabulous!
Thanks so much for including me! A reminder to be thankful and a chance to see favorites of others!
What I love most is my second-floor laundry room. But I won’t be taking any pictures of it.
;)
Thank you so much for including our barn door in your post today!!!
Lots of Love
Ashli
Great post! Lovely rooms!
Lots to love here…all beautiful.
Great features! Isn’t Ashli and Lee’s barn door amazing!! And, they built it themselves. Incredible.
Great post…that is what I needed right now. I am in the process of tons of projects around here and need to focus on what I really love about this home and not what is unfinished! ~Kim
Emily,
I love your Send Me a Picture series and am inspired by all the images. I posted a favorite part of my decor on your Facebook page.
Shelly
Such pretty and fresh looks!!!
These are lovely inspirations! Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
What beautiful images…love all the “favorite spaces”!!
These are all so fantastic! I love the use of the lucite coffee table – chic AND practical.

Great homes! So nice to focus on what’s done and beautiful instead of what’s left on the to-do list! :)
Gorgeous homes and some great ideas, thanks!
I love this post! This is exactly why I like home blogs so much- getting to see inside real people’s homes and the personal touches they use. I found some new blogs today Emily. Thanks!
thanks so much for “having me”, Emily!
Great round-up! I love seeing the spaces some of my favorite bloggers prefer in their homes. I’m loving this series!
Beautiful rooms! I agree that it’s so easy to focus on the negative. Most often I put my best design efforts towards my clients and I’m not left with much when it comes to my own home. I’m trying to change that.
