It's great to be a "minimalist" and really value those important things like time with family and helping each other focusing away from material things and that is great. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with wAnting to better our lives, and wanting nicer things for ourselves, if that gives us a certain drive to become more educated, etc. I think the secret is keeping a balance and not letting things become the priority in our lives. Things are just things, money is just money, but it does make our everyday living easier, takes stress away from us, and when we have it we can share it and help others. Our pastor friend places emphasis on the real treasures of life; yet at the same time he wants people to have drive and to want to become independent, educated, small businessowners...He is a contractor as well, and antiques collector, I think people coming to his home see that a humble man is also a man who does well, and who genuinely cares to inspire his church members and feel no envy or intimidation but a desire to better their situation.

Anyways, as for artwork on the walls.....I'd stick by work from your favorite artist. Have you seen big collages made by taking pictures of children's artwork? That's my favorite. Along with canvas prints or "homemade canvas prints" painted by kids with 3 coordinating colors that match your room. I only put things on my walls that mean something. I also love pictures of my family or our favorite places.

But god never called us to look like everybody else, so i guess its good the way it is :)<br />You did a fantastic job! I like the after a lot more then the before. It has such a cozy, inviting feel.<br />The artwork of your daughter is great! Why not have her paint something on a canvas? You could tell her which colors, or you could paint together. Or you just have her draw on paper and then frame it in a nice, big frame! Just ideas though :)<br />Be blessed Disney!Lia Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980510716771941110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-17726229719937453222013-03-28T16:13:09.517-07:002013-03-28T16:13:09.517-07:00I love the after!

I know I'm more comfortable in homes that don't have really expensive furniture, simply because they feel so formal and you worry about tracking in dirt or rumpling the throw pillows. Whatever you do, though, your home is beautiful! :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130109003343527862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-60747597881932757472013-03-27T20:42:56.626-07:002013-03-27T20:42:56.626-07:00Here's an idea for your walls that is really a...Here's an idea for your walls that is really a take on what you've already done. I really like the three pictures you had in the "before" shot that when hung together formed a continuous image. The pictures Paige creates are enchanting. Soooo... (see where I'm going with this?) commission Miss Paige to do a BIG picture using the colors from the rug as inspiration, then cut it in thirds, mount, and hang in your favorite way. Whatever you decide, please let us see the results. Thanks for all your inspirational DIY ideas and projects.

You are really talented and have lots of good ideas. Those are gifts God gave you. I am Christian and I understand and hear what you are saying but I personally don't totally agree. But then again my husband is not in ministry and we live in a beach community in San Diego. However, we are not wealthy by any means. I enjoy making things look the best with what I have. Although I do agree as my family has grown, I am pregnant with my 3rd baby, decorating and having nice things has become less of a priority to me.
