365 Days of a Happy Home!

My blog, 365 Days of a Happy Home, grew from a challenge to post an image a day of something that made me happy. I did the challenge and decided to tweak this challenge for my interior design firm. Who doesn’t love a Happy Home? I certainly do! Each blog post will contain one idea of something that contributes to a Happy Home.
