Grace at Home No. 330


Hello, friends! Happy Valentine's Day!

My day started when my husband brought me breakfast in bed—an act of love I don't take for granted, since we've now been married almost 34 years. Our marriage has gone through some major ups and downs over the years, but I am so grateful that we've persevered through the hard times. Long ago Jack asked me to be his Valentine, and I'm thankful that I still am.

I'm so glad you're here for today's Grace at Home party, where we celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace. Here are some links from last week's party I think you'll enjoy.

Want to learn more about interior design? Yvonne from Stone Gable is doing a series on the elements of design. Her article on color is excellent!

If you need an inexpensive gift idea or just want to create a fun new accessory for your home, you'll be glad to see how Chas from Chas' Crazy Creations made a gorgeous water bottle from an old wine bottle. She gives step-by-step directions for creating one for yourself.


With her new Netflix series, Marie Kondo is enjoying a swell in popularity. If you'd like a primer on the Kon-Mari method of tidying up, check out this post from Vicki at FiveSpot Green Living.


Need some new ideas for dinner? Mama of Many Blessings has got you covered.


I know so many people who are going through a really difficult time right now. If you're one of those people, you'll appreciate this post from Dr. Michelle Bengtson.


A big thank you to everyone who joined the last party!  I'm so grateful for each person who links up.

Now for this week's party! Grace at Home is a place for you to share anything related to making your home a place of grace. I invite you to link posts about
  • DIY projects
  • decorating
  • recipes
  • hospitality
  • homemaking tips
  • parenting
  • marriage
  • faith
  • self-care
  • soul care
Whatever you do to make your home a place of grace, I'd like to hear about it.  Here's what I ask of you.  Please include the permalink to your post, not your blog's home page.  Please let people know that you've linked up.  No more than three posts per person, please.  Note that if you link a post here, you are giving me permission to share your post, including a photo.  And visit at least one of the other party participants--that's what really makes it a party!
