A home is a place where we should feel surrounded by love. It’s a safe place where we should feel encouraged to be the best we can be and to love and be loved as we are. It’s a place we gather together, recharge and rejuvenate. I really enjoy nesting for fall and trying to get all nestled in before the holidays, too, but I am especially inspired right now to transform our home in deep and meaningful ways.
The impact our home has on our family matters to me. Decorating can make a home pretty, of course, but the words we choose to surround ourselves with can change, motivate and inspire us. There is power in words, encouragement and truth! Besides being careful about the words we speak, I love to find creative ways to bring motivating quotes, thoughts and verses into our home so we can be surrounded by inspiration daily.
I’ve had several readers write to me recently about the art we have in our home. So today I’ve gathered some of my favorite pieces in my home and a few others I’d love to have or give! This isn’t a sponsored post, I just love the art and think any of these pieces would be a lovely gift for a special friend or family.
What is a favorite verse or what words might inspire you or someone you know? Encouraging artwork could make such a meaningful gift for to give someone going through a hard time, too. Gather a group of friends or family and go in on one together to bless someone else.
These art pieces from Between You and Me Signs are hand-painted on wood, so they are each unique and high quality. They’ll be a treasure for years to come. Custom signs are an option too, so if you want a special quote or verse you can have art created especially for you.
Be Strong and Courageous, Do Not Fear
Love is Patient (from our old bedroom, this sign will be hung in our new house soon too!)

I can’t help wondering how displaying Scripture front and center in our homes might make a huge difference in our efforts to love each other well …
I believe seeing it right there on the wall is a good daily encouragement, and even a timely reminder of what is true in the midst of a difficult time.
I have just started displaying Scripture, too – a good way to be reminded to hide God’s word in my heart (Ps 119:11).
My morning routine starts with making the bed, breakfast, and bible, then check e-mail, but before I could check e-mail this morning I just had to print off the verse I had just read and pondered.
Phil 4:8
Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.
I love the fact that making something “lovely”, helping our homes to be more “pure”, doing laundry (or any mundane task) “excellent” matters.
Then I read your post this morning and there are all these other wonderful scripture! What a sense of camaraderie!
Have a wonderful day all!
Melissa, I love meaningful art! These are great examples. I’ve pretty much taken this to heart, and all of the wall art we have now is either pictures of family or wall art that I’ve made that means something to us. Thanks for sharing!
We had them do a custom piece for us and it was lovely!
Beautiful! Just beautiful. Okay I am a secret fontaholic. So, this post really gets me… and the verses are so wonderful. Surrounding ourselves with Truth is SO important. I love the ways you’ve used these in your own home. Much inspiration for me!!
Blessings,
Christi
These are beautiful ways to decorate a home with Scripture.
