I’ve been looking at this area in our home, over the 3 windows of our sun room, since we’ve had the additions put on…..and I just hadn’t been able to decide what I wanted to do with it.
It wasn’t a matter of a lack of ideas. It was WHICH idea did I want to go with? Leave it as is? Mount some cool stuff on the wall? A shelf with some things that matter to us? Or a really long custom sized printed photo or canvas hanging?
After fearing I would never be able to decide, I decided to decide, and I could always change my mind at any time, and my loving husband would help me take care of the change. It was my way of looking procrastination dead in the eyes, with no fear. : )
I chose to put up a shelf with some stuff, and a meaningful quote up on the wall above it.
I had seen a quote that said ‘something’ like this one above, but probably went nothing like it, really. But I worked out what I wanted it to say, based on how I feel about my home, and this is what I came up with. Michael listened to how I saw it laid out in my head, we designed it on his computer, he took some measurements, cut it out for me, and put it up.
I love my home so much. There really is no feeling I feel anywhere else, than the one I always feel right here.
I think in a coming post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the stuff on the shelf as well. What they are, where they came from, and what they meaning they have to us. Of course, what’s on the shelf could change or grow, before I ever get to that. Who knows?
Oh look! More new stuff already. : )
I’ll tell you……when I walk in my front door now, with my family either coming in behind me, or greeting me at the door, I always look up to my right above the windows, and smile inside. I know I’m truly home, because I can feel it.
I think I’ll be putting a couple more meaningful quotes or scripture on the walls around our house. They can go in any room, big or small. Bedrooms, kitchen, school room, family room, and be a phrase meaningfully-fitting for that space. The possibilities are endless.
If your walls could talk, what would they say?
