Imagine living in a home where every inch has a purpose, no space wasted. Modern tiny houses are redefining the way we think about living spaces. These
Ever since I was a little girl, building a home was always a dream of mine, but it never seemed like it could be a reality. I always loved watching home makeover shows, This Old House with my Dad, and of course, my beloved Fixer Upper. I love, love seeing a home come to life, and sometimes I wonder if I should have been an interior designer and architect, because I love to be creative, but math is also my favorite subject. When building a home actually became a reality for us this year, I knew we had to make the building process special. Have you ever seen people writing their names or writing a quote in their walls during a renovation?! I wanted to take that a few steps further and write scriptures on our framing. This was something that was very meaningful to me, and it's kinda cool to think that there are scriptures within our walls blessing our home, our marriage, our future children, and anyone who walks through our doors. Today, I'll be sharing those thirty scriptures that we wrote throughout our home and the perfect place to write those scriptures, too! Front Entry Way Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Deuteronomy 28:6 I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 Peace be to this house. Luke 10:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 Garage Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. 1 Samuel 25:6 Where you go, I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. Ruth 1:16 Love your neighbor as yourself. Mark 12:31 The Lord will protect you from danger; He will keep you safe. He will protect you as you come and go, now and forever. Psalm 121:8 Powder Room Give us clean hands and pure hearts. Psalm 24:4 Stairwells/Stair Landings By wisdom, a house is built and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Proverbs 24:3-4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Hebrews 3:4 Family Room Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Kitchen My cup overflows with your blessings. Psalm 23:5 Give us this our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 Dining Room Build homes and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce. Jeremiah 29:5 They broke bread together and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. Acts 2:46 Living Room As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 Love one another as I have loved you. John 13:34 Laundry Room Clean me, and I will be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 Master Suite Love is patient. Love is kind. 1 Corinthians 13 I have found the one whom my soul loves. Song of Songs 3:4 We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 His mercies are new every morning. Lamentations 3:23 This one is in between the two windows where my vanity will be. It will be a silent daily reminder for me as I get ready each and every day. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s fault because of your love. Ephesians 4:2 Spare Bathroom Now that I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. John 13:14-15 Upstairs Hallways (in between bedrooms) Train up your children in the way they should go, for when they are older, they will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 God is our shelter and strength. Psalm 46:1 Office or Girl's Bedroom She is more precious than rubies. She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31 Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 Spare Bedroom For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 If you ever get the chance to build your home, or maybe you're going to be renovating your home soon, add a few of these scriptures to your framing. It will be a silent reminder that God is always with you, He loves you, and He is forever blessing your home, your life, your family, and all of the amazing people who will come through your doors.

Traditional homes and suburban ranch houses were often made of wood with clapboard siding. Over time, the wood got replaced with metal, plastic, or composite alternatives.
