Pin It Forward: What Home Means To Me
I’m so honored to be kicking off sfgirlbybay’s “Pin It Forward” today with nine of my favorite bloggers. In case you have no idea what “Pin It Forward” is, check out my blog post here. Caught up? Cool! So the theme for Pin It Forward is “what home means to you.” After thinking about this long and hard for several days, it occurred to me that, for myself, home has meant so many different things, (and been in so many different places) over the past ten years. I decided to share that with all of you through a story board I created telling the story of what home has meant to me from my first home all the way to my present. Come check out my Pinterest story board! I’ve numbered each shot so you can follow along in order. I hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about me. Here are a few highlights below…
Home used to be a very simple place that existed in a small suburb of Los Angeles
Until the day home became a very different place
Until, once again, home became a very different place
Until, as it happens, home has once again become a very different place
It’s in Berlin with my oldest brother
It’s in the Bay Area with new friends
home is everywhere that you are loved
Thanks again to Victoria Smith from sfgirlbybay for organizing such a massive event! I had a wonderful time reminiscing about this very personal topic in my life that I don’t often share with the people around me (let alone on my blog). Also, a HUGE thank you to the Pinterest team. I can’t sing your praises enough. I am inspired every time I log on and I have had so much fun expressing myself in a new way through your site.
I’m excited to pass the Pin It Forward torch over to the talented Christiana at Ferm Living. I can’t wait to find out what home means to this co-owner of one of my favorite shops, Hygge and West (I hope it includes some of her amazing wallpaper!)

Thanks Hijiri! I LOVED yours too and the idea that you’re going to keep adding to it. Also, I always forget that you have chinchillas and for some reason, it cracks me up. So random! ;)
