Home is not just a kitchen, a bedroom, or a living room. Home is more. Each room is unique and special. Each room has its own wonders and memories. Like the front door, the excitement that bursts inside when you first step in, your head held high. The spirit of curiosity pounds deep inside and you start a new life that you know you’ll thrive. You walk a few more steps and then find the kitchen, where laughter and love is waiting to be awakened. Where family is revived through food and smiles, where warm smells and comfort surrounds all around. After dinner you head into the living room - a place where enlightenment is seated, conversation starts and family is seated. Movie nights, board games arise from the air. The company of family lights you up in a flare. You rest your head for a few more minutes and then decide the bedroom is what you needed. You sink into the bed where dreams and desires grow, stretching up to the sky where imagination flows. Relaxation and comfort collide through the air. The feeling of rest drifts in the atmosphere. The backyard is close for laughter and fun, where whether snow or sun, you are still warm. Where celebrations have been hosted and smiles have been shared, where chatter has spread all through the air. Memories are engraved right in the ground, nostalgia passes through and everyone is found. As you can see these rooms have different aspects that open new feelings and show different perspectives. Like the living room, that holds the enjoyment of chatter or the bedroom where relaxation is the only thing that matters. Each room is different, that's where it counts and the home that we know is beautifully mixed around. This is home.
