A house is a structure as the other poster put it, but a home is the people who live in the house and make it a safe and pleasant place to be. You've heard quotes such as "Keep the home fires burning" (during the wars years) and the oldie but goodie "Home is where the heart is." You can live in a beautiful home, but if you have no one to love and share it with, then it's just a plain house no matter how fancy it is. Poor or rich, no children or a dozen children, adults have the control to make any place a good home.
A home can be anywhere you live -- your home may be a mobile home, or a motor home, or an igloo. For some, home can be an abandoned warehouse on Main Street in Anywhere, USA. You can call an apartment your home. As they say, "Home is where the heart is."
But a house is a physical structure with walls and a roof and a door. An apartment would not be considered your "house", etc.

A home is where your family gathers to make memories! Your home is where you live, create, and most of all, stay every chance you get!!
A house is just someplace you go to sleep or rest or change clothes, but has no significant meaning to you.

A home is where your family is,the people you love are. A house is just a vessel where all your material things are kept.

A home defines who lives within it - a house is a blank slate.

A friend made us a plaque that reads...'A house is made of wood and beams... a home is made of love and dreams'
