From the wooden cross above our door, they would know we are believers.
From a stray dust bunny, they would know that we are more interested in keeping things tidy than we are in keeping things spotless.
From our book collection, they would know that we are into C.S. Lewis, George R.R. Martin, dictionaries, and a biography or two.
From the tin of smoothed-from-use wooden spoons by the stove, they would know that most of our meals are made at home.
From the twin copies of Notre Dame Magazine on our coffee table (one addressed to him and one to me) they would know that we were college sweethearts.
From the snake plant and aloe plant, they would know we aren't confident in our abilities to keep greenery alive.
From the lack of a black box in our living room, they would know that we value conversation and intimacy in our home, and also that we make good use of our Netflix account.
From the humongous bag of scarfs, hats, gloves, ski pants, and mittens in our front closet, they would know that we haven't always lived in Virginia.
From the art on the piano studio walls, they would know that Bach and Beethoven are favorites.
From the eucalyptus branches hanging from the shower, they would know that the inhabitants of this home are a little quirky.

What does your home reveal about you? I would love to know all the juicy tidbits.
