Welcome to Country Proud Living, where nurturing spaces empower your life and every day feels a little more like home. In this cozy, snow-day episode, LoriLynn shares how to spot the gratitude already living in your rooms—and how a few small rituals can turn your house into a warm reflection of what (and who) you cherish most. From worn-in chairs and kitchen islands to have a chat or gallery walls and porch pots, you’ll learn simple, soulful ways to design for thankfulness—no renovation required. Try a Thankful Board, create a gratitude corner, add guest-ready touches, frame memories, and decorate with seasonal naturals that ground your home in the present moment. Your space becomes a hug… and a blessing. 🤍
