Make a Small Space Sacred
Classic craftsmanship and experienced building set one house or home apart from another. You don’t need a large space to raise a large family. If your goal is togetherness splurge on activities rather than square feet. Engage repeatedly in endeavors that stimulate an emotional tug. Use the four big principles of experienced decorators to make small things seem larger
Eliminate visual obstacles and dead ends. Exaggerate praise for little tasks.You’ll up the enthusiasm quotient every day when you start noticing and acknowledging what kids do right.
Choose a light color palette. Being positive and energetic will make the people around you feel more capable of contributing. Voila!You’ll have a bright happy family.
Create illusions of openness. A ski weekend or trip to a theme park are not the ultimate holidays.You can create awe and laughter in your own backyard through a family carnival, kids’ treasure hunt, or neighborhood pet parade.
Draw the eye upward. Plan a worship service at a lake or along a river Build an altar of rocks. Climb to a high place at sunrise and serve a simple meal.The canopy of family is as big as the sky and as large as your faith.
