Each of us has a style. We have a life-style, fashion-style, and home-style, among others, our comfort preferences in design.

When I think of a style that represents me best, it would be hygge (hyu-gah). Hygge style emphasizes comfort, coziness, and well-being. Simple, natural elements with a focus on a warm and safe environment where quiet comfort surrounds.

Some key elements of hygge design are: Atmosphere: turn down the lights. Presence: be here now. Pleasure: treat yourself. Equality: we over me. Gratitude: take it in. Harmony: it's not a competition. Comfort: get comfy. Truce: no drama.

All the other style elements fit into this comfort and peace genre within my soul.

We have a lot of beautiful family pretties and amazing gifts we have received through the years. Personally, I love art, eclectic, and things that make me smile and draw me into a prayer of gratitude.

We enjoy being home. We have no desire to travel for relaxation. The home we have soothes our souls.

I have thought about a photo that might best represent the peace that we enjoy. One that comes to mind is this one, "It's Hip to be Square." In a world of clutter and chaos, we find joy and peace in being who God created us to be. Simple, "square" and peace-filled.
