“Making a place is not like making a picture that does not shift or change.
It is more like making a garden that grows as we care for it.”
—Christie Purifoy
There’s a curious alchemy that transforms a house into a home over time. As we tend to our dwellings with love and intention, something unexpected happens: we discover that the homes we’ve been caring for now have the capacity to care for us.
Inspired by the life of the particular house she knows best, Christie Purifoy offers reflections and practical suggestions for anyone who longs to create a place for rest and healing, for wonder and welcome. Amid insights on the true meaning of comfort, you’ll find decor inspiration, thrifting tips, and homemaking traditions.
Your house can be a haven. It can grow into a sacred place. Care for it well, and year after year it will say, “Welcome home. Always.”
