DOmesticities
"Every home was a brick in the great wall of decent living that men erected over and over again as a bulwark against the perpetual flooding in of evil. But women made the bricks, and the durableness of civilization depended upon their quality.”

And now, I have a Pink Floyd song running through my head! I love, love, love that chalkboard door.
A beautiful quote! I love the pictures of your home. You've made a great bulwark...And now, I am extra inspired for today when I had already planned to stay home and work on "DOmesticities".
Nancy, Pink Floyd? Do tell.
Kristi, glad to inspire. Thanks for the encouragement.
ahhh, your house seems so comfy and warm. Just the way I like it. :) your photos made me smile.
What a great way to count blessings...with photos. I may steal this idea.
Just another brick in the wall, Jodi.
May I come over? I'd like to read some of those books while lounging on the sofa. . . and I'll happily eat some of the food so cleverly written on the chalkboard door:) I would imagine your home to be this artistic and welcoming. Just beautiful!
Amy and Amy, thank you and yes you may!
Oh, I love your images of home! It was especially wonderful to see your comment on my site and then click over to find this beauty! Yes, this is home!
love the quote and the photos. you are definitely the best quality. :-)
those tomatoes are gorgeous!
Loved this whole post, Jodi, the quote and the images of your lovely and quality home--which I know must spring from the heart of a quality woman. I smiled at Nancy's Pink Floyd connection as well. (Don't be surprised if a variation on this theme shows up on my blog someday, with all due credit, of course :)
Quotidian Life, thank you. I'm looking forward to the variations on the theme. No credit necessary. xx
{Jodi} You are slaying me with beauty!!!! First, a quote from Pilgrim's Inn. [You could probably choose lines from that book with your eyes closed and it would make me happy. But this one. LOVE.] Then the heart-skippy pictures of your eclectic-artistic-domestic perfection of a house/home/utterly cool space. I will have to come back later to just gaze awhile. xo
Melissa, Aww shucks. :)
Love the cats cuddling in the blankets! I feel just like them when I look at pictures of your home - it's so warm and and cosy. I zoomed in on the bookshelf photo to get recommendations ;) Pretty sure I recognized at least two of the books - we have Beatrix Potter: A Journal and Charlotte Mason, too.
And THANK you for your comment on my blog! Really, your comments make my day :)
I am drinking in the beauty of your home through these pictures and just *loving* it so much. <3
Your home is so warm and welcoming! Makes me want to drop by for a visit...especially if Gazpacho is on the menu!
lovely. I think I need a chalkboard door...you're convincing me.
I love the way M. is just as into your home as you are. The fact that he put himself into creating that colorful menu broadcasting the mouthwatering feast yet to come shows how much confidence he has in partaking of the blessings therein! I'm thinking of Goldberry and Tom Bombadil again.
Elizabeth Goudge strikes right to the heart of the matter!!! Thank you for reminding me of that quote. Another person that come to mind (who you introduced me to) when pondering the privilege and coolnesses of homemaking is Edith Shaeffer.
