Kathy House

Where I live: I live in the Heatherbrae neighborhood in west Little Rock off Cantrell Road with my husband, Buddy. We built this house more than 20 years ago.

Occupation: I am the principal of Christ the King Catholic School. I have been at the school for 28 years, and have been principal for 21 of those years.

My favorite space: The sitting room off our master bedroom.

Why? I start my day in this room with prayer and Scripture readings. It is also where I go at the end of the day to relax. My days at school are very busy but full of joy. The children, teachers and parents are such a blessing to me. At the end of the day, when school is out and the meetings are over, I love to come in here and curl up with a good book or "Skype" my grandchildren on my iPad. Sometimes, I call my mother, sisters, daughters or girlfriends. The room is small but has lots of natural light and two comfortable sofas. In the winter, I love having a fire going in the fireplace. This is my space, and I can even close the door.

If I could change one thing to improve this space, I would: I wouldn't change a thing about my sitting room. It has so many happy memories for me and makes me feel so good when I am in here. Whatever I do when I am in here, it is my quiet retreat.
