Don’t Be Afraid to Switch Decor Around the House

Like a giant spider hanging from the ceiling, the fan in our bedroom was unnecessary and unsightly to me. We never use the fan because the room stays plenty cool. For all the years we’ve lived here, that fan was my least favorite “decoration” in the room!

I keep my eyes on the lighting fixtures at Lowe’s, waiting for a price reduction. Then one day I found one half off, and I knew it would be perfect in our house.

However, when it was time to hang the light, I realized it was a better size for the living room, and the living room’s fixture was better for our bedroom, Here’s a tip I had to learn – It’s tempting to keep everything in the same place or room where you initially put it, but you need to be open to moving it elsewhere.

God is Thinking About You!

Today’s Refresh Her podcast discusses this subject in greater detail with a biblical example of these truths. I hope you’ll listen and be encouraged!

The needs and burdens of someone I love have been on my heart and in my thoughts.  I’ve told this dear one that I’m praying for them and thinking of them as a way to encourage their overwhelmed heart.  But you know what? As much as I love this dear one, I have failed.

Cozy Up a Room with Lighting

Cozy rooms are so inviting, but how do we create that atmosphere? Is it by our signature style? Paint? The furniture? If I could only give one way to make a room inviting, my word would be lighting. It makes all the difference in the world.

I love adding lights at varied heights and brightness. Lamps help with tasks, like reading or handwork, and a dim light can make a dark corner glow with warmth. I’ve recently added some lights to my house and I’m loving the difference they’ve made!
