What makes a house into a home?

A house might have four walls, a roof, and many rooms, but how do you make it into a home? A home needs a couch, and a cozy fireplace. A house is empty, and a home has memories. A home has a warm, safe, place to sleep, and a house is a cold, empty, box. But as you live in a house, it is like panting a canvas. The paint being memories. As you spend more time in it, a house can turn into a home.
