Make Your House into a Home

What do you think about when you read the word, "home"? Are you taken back to where you were raised? Do you imagine the holidays with family members scrambling for the fudge?

What type of home do you presently live in? No, I'm not asking if it is a ranch or a colonial with a view of the golf course. I'm asking what kind of home do you live in? Is it a place that draws you and your guests inside? Or is it a place filled with tensions and worry? I believe that deep in our hearts we desire to have a place we can feel is our home, not simply our house, but a place of peace, a place of creativity, and a place of entertainment.

So how can we create a home? atHome Murals hopes to offer some answers to this question. As you journey thru atHome Murals, you will notice that many of the ideas for creating a home relate to home decorating with wall murals and other fine wall decor. There are some simple reasons for this.

• My Favorite Places
  Would it not be wonderful if we could all live in a perfect place? Great views of the mountains or ocean, trails to explore, and friendly neighbors to visit with!! Ahh, that is peaceful just thinking about. Unfortunately, few of us live in a place we call perfect, but we probably have places we dream would be perfect. I personally dream of the mountains. Why not bring this place to your home thru a wall mural? With a mural, you may live on the plains of Indiana, but your house can become a mountain retreat.



• A Child's Creativity
  Do you remember when you were a child playing with barbie dolls or toy soldiers? I imagine child psychologists would say this is the period of a child's development when they are developing deeper social skills thru role playing. I would simply say they are being CREATIVE!! Every child starts with some measure of creativity; unfortunately, too often that creativity is quickly dampened by lack of outlets. I know from personal experience how a wall mural can be an amazing creative outlet as a child. My room growing up had a wall paper mural of a forest. I don't know how many hours I spent lying on my bed staring at the mural and dreaming about what adventures awaited thru the trees. Yeh, the mural was pretty, but as a child it was the fantasy that swirled in the mist that captured my creativity. And for any skeptics out there that think kids daydreaming and having a fantasy life is wrong, I disagree and stand as an example that you can turn out almost normal!! So creating a place of creativity is as simple as a mural that sparks the imagination.



• The WOW Factor
  Some of us love to entertain and truly find hospitality to be enjoyable. When you entertain do you receive complements on your home decorating? How does a glowing comment make you feel? Of course bare walls don't draw many comments!! A tastefully done wall mural in your home decor can become the centerpiece of complements in your home decorating. You'll love the "WOW" looks in your guest's eyes and comments!

The making of your home can begin today. Please take the time and find out what style of wall decor you love. Create a place of peace thru a beautiful image, create a place of creativity thru an imaginative mural, and create a place for entertainment thru a focal point in your home. Your wall decor can help you create this place. Finally, take the time to enjoy the journey, because then you will enjoy the result to a much greater degree.
