Other than stuff like having my husband and cats around, I think the most important "home" thing for me is cozy lighting? I don't want to feel like I'm in an office or hotel, and I want all the important spots to have the right light (for cooking, for eating, for reading, for watching TV...). Cozy lighting is one of the things I miss the most when traveling, when I have to put up with it being too bright/too cold or just insufficient.

I've also become a really big fan of potted plants. We're currently trying to keep some bromelias downstairs from being chewed up by a very bad cat who is even getting into the hanging pots...! I have seven plants in my office right now, and I'll do what I can so they'll all survive winter.

Another thing that makes it home is having photos and art up on the walls and elsewhere. (We have some fannish stuff on the inside of our wardrobe doors in a nod to decorated US high school lockers, just because it's fun.)

And of course books! So happy to finally have space to buy more of the many books I've enjoyed in e-book format in physical form.
