Love Your Home
Loving your home means making your house feel like a home by adding personal touches that have meaning to you and your family . A home should be something you look forward to retreating to . Items that you bring in to your home should serve their functional purpose but there ’ s no reason why they can ’ t reflect your style and personality . My wife loves personalized items . It ’ s a running joke in our household that if it ’ s pink and has an initial or monogram , she ’ ll love it . Here ’ s what I did for her as a Christmas present this past year and the story behind it .
you can tell , this one is monogramed , which she absolutely loves ! Also , the fabric is one that she loves and it matches what we already are using to decorate . Then , the final touch was the storage under the seat . Needless to say , she loved her present for Christmas . It ’ s the little touches like this that make our house a home for our family . This particular bench may not suit your home and your family . Our family has an obsessive habit of sitting in the kitchen at the end of every afternoon and discussing our day , so it serves not only as a decorative piece , but a very functional conversational area . These benches are nice because they can add seating to an entry way , living room , bedroom , or any other area that would otherwise go overlooked .
This new 40 hour aromatherapy candle line is appropriately named ― Love Your Home ‖ and is available exclusively at Brooks and Company . Stop in and pick yours up today . This scent is sure to be just another reason to Love Your Home .
A couple of years ago Christy spotted a bench she wanted in a retail store . I am a relatively frugal person , so I couldn ’ t see paying several hundred dollars for a piece of furniture that was poorly constructed of cheaper materials . Let ’ s face it , with normal use , these pieces just don ’ t hold up . Shortly after this , we had found a bed frame and Christy told me she wanted me to make it into a bench . OK , I thought , this cannot be that difficult , so I started out on this task . When I finished , I was impressed , I had accomplished something I wasn ’ t sure I could do and it looked fantastic ! We put it in our home , and while it did look impressive , it was a little too large for what we were originally wanting . So , that bench , along with several more to follow , we sold through Brooks and Company . Well , it occurred to me , that Christy had still not gotten the bench that she longed for . So , I thought for Christmas , I would create one tailor made for her . I thought about all of the things she loves and incorporated them into the bench construction . As
