Houses have windows, homes have stories

by Emily

Reading Time:

M y 5-year-old daughter is obsessed with words. She spends her days at school learning sounds of words, what words mean, how to spell words and how to read words. So, when I said to my husband the other day, “We’ve really made this house a home, haven’t we?”, she quickly replied “House and home are the same word!”

Having lived in a fixer-upper for nearly as long as she can remember, I knew she’d understand when I sat down to explain to her the difference between a house and home. I started by saying, “houses have windows, homes have stories.”

While my family has spent the past nearly four years making what was a barely livable house a home, I still believe that it’s not the walls or the flooring, or the decor that make the places we live home.

What makes a house a home?

Think about your home — what comes to mind?

For me, I think of my family. I also think of smells – delicious food cooking in the oven or simmering on the stove. I think of the games we play here, the laughter, the memories created in the simplest of moments. I think of reading books on a rainy day in a comfortable chair. I picture Saturday morning pancakes.

All of these things have nothing to do with what a house looks like, what kind of countertops it has, or how shiny and new it is. The most important things are who you are with, and what the moments are made of.

Embrace the stories your home has to tell.

Think about all the times you’ve put your kids to bed giggling. The times a meal has been wrecked and you had to order pizza. The times you laughed so hard at something your child said, your gut hurt. Those are the moments that matter.

Those are the things that make the places we call home. Not the pretty stuff on the walls, or the view. It’s the moments you create in your house that make it home.

Making memories at home…

Photo by Remodeling This Life

Creating memories and making a home is not always as easy as laughing at someone messing up dinner, or having a big tickle fest at bedtime. Sometimes you have to create moments, make memories that will last – if not a lifetime, at least a little while.

If I had to choose between painting my living room or giving my kids an afternoon with finger paint, I’d take the finger painting any day. Making a space that is safe and comfortable for everyone to create is so important.

For me, home is providing a place for everyone to know it is okay to make a mess. Home is a place where creating and learning and enjoying life is more important than white walls and perfect furniture.

The place you live is just that – a place to live. Home – whether rented or owned, big or small, new or old – is what you do, who you are with, and the memories you make.

«The house whose windows are open is beautiful» is this sentence correct or we should use «whose» only for people?

And can we say «The house which windows are open is beautiful»?

‘who’ and ‘whose’ is really only for people (or pets sometimes).

‘the house with open windows’ would be more natural.

‘who’ and ‘whose’ is really only for people (or pets sometimes).

‘the house with open windows’ would be more natural.

historically (i. e. 350 years or more ago), the normal would have been «the house whereof the windows. » which would correspond in modern english to «the house of which. » but this sounds clumsy, and «the house whose windows» is better however much your schoolteacher shall object to the use of «whose» with an inanimate object. other possibilities are «the house that has its windows open», «the house with its windows open,» «the house with (the) open windows»

only for people

Both are correct 🙂

But for the second one, remember to add an apostrophe to «window’s» because you’re talking about something the house possesses.

Another way to rephrase the sentence would be, «The house with open windows is beautiful.»

Replace the word «whose» with «that’s».

You use «whose.» You cannot use «which.»

The version with «whose» is the version to use. If you want to use «which» it must be «The house the windows of which are open is beautiful» — but that feels very awkward.

Actually the version with «whose» also feels somewhat awkward. It feels rather «constructed according to rules» rather than a normal sentence.

In normal conversation you would probably hear (from speaker A and speaker B): A — «Isn’t that house over there beautiful» B — «Which house?» A — «The one with the windows open».

‘Who’ and ‘whose’ is really only for people (or pets sometimes).

‘The house with open windows’ would be more natural.

The town which I was born has changed greatly over the last fifty years. Now there is a modern shopping center on the place that my school used to be and all the children whose went there have grown up and moved away. The local cinema, that was built several years ago, used to be a dance hall which big bands played. The park, where was my favourite place as a child, is now a car park. Some things are still the same though. Mrs Jones, whom is now seventy years old, still lives in the High Street and Mr Jones still owns the baker’s shop, that two sons now work instead of him. The hospital where I was born in is still standing, although it is now much bigger than it was at the time which I was born. On the day which my family and I left our town we were all very sad.
