I wanted to add tepee, bungalow, & tree house to the title, but I thought it would be a bit much.
1. Display art with trouser hangers.
2. Create an encouraging/cheery lipstick message on a mirror.
3. Line the back of a bookshelf with colorful wrapping paper or fabric.
4. Use wooden block letters to create personalized bookends {tutorial here}.
7. Repurpose a bamboo steamer into an instant mini knickknack shelf. {Multiple steamers in various sizes look great bunched together on the wall, too.}
8. Make & hang a festive bunting - everyday can be a little like a celebration {tutorial here}.
9. Use wide ribbon & letter stickers to create a sign reminding you to shop your closet first.
10. Take tissue paper & a little glue to a paper
lantern pendant light to make it extra pretty {tutorial here}.
While there's certainly nothing wrong in our efforts to make our places of dwelling cozy, comfy, & cute it's important to remember that as Christians are true home is in heaven, & as the Steven Curtis Chapman song goes, "Keep on looking ahead. Let your heart not forget, we are not home yet."
"For this world is not our permanent home; we
are looking forward to a home yet to come."
-Hebrews 13:14 NLT

LOVE those ideas! I'm going to e-mail this post to my future roommate. :)
ReplyDeleteThat verse is awesome! Such a great reminder! I had a dream about heaven last night. One of the guys I work with (who is in a wheelchair) was walking. It was so amazing. I cried when I woke up!
What great ideas! I'll be sure to use some!:)
