What does your Pink Chateau look like?

When I think of The Pink Chateau, I think of a home that is happy, decorated for the season, and full of projects. It’s a place where memories are made. It smells like fresh bread and home-cooked meals. It is organized, full of color, music, laughter, and happy children. 

A home is more than just walls and flooring. It is a reflection of us. It is the backdrop to kids coming home from school, family parties, birthdays, holidays, children playing, and traditions. It’s a place where our kids learn values and about God and Jesus Christ. It’s a place of learning and creativity.

Ideal Right? I have hesitated in doing this blog because I would never want my readers to think that this ideal setting is what my home is like ALL of the time or that I think I have all of the answers. The truth is I don’t, but these ideals are what I aspire for my home to look and feel like. 

As my own family is growing, I am realizing how important my little Chateau is to me and my family.  A home doesn’t just happen. It takes great effort, planning, and is a conscious choice.  What do I want my Chateau to look and feel like and how do I accomplish it? These questions have played through my mind over the years since I became a mom and even before as I watched my own parents create a beautiful childhood and home for me.  I am still in this process of figuring out the answers to those questions and I think those answers will continue to change as our kids grow and our family changes. 

However, the most important thing that we can do is to start now, whatever our family looks like, and try to imagine what our Pink Chateau is for us.

Whether you live in a studio apartment or a massive home, have no children or many, you can still answer the questions, “What do I want my Chateau look like and feel like and how do I accomplish it?”

My hope is that I can share my love for family, home, and design in a way that will inspire you to do the projects that you thought you couldn’t, be the fun parent that you’d like to be, and create a home that reflects you and your family and is full of happy memories.

In this section I hope to share some Ideas on how we can get organized and create this kind of home for ourselves!
