Home and Family are important gospel topics and areas I have posted on “Uncooked” before, I have recently begun an interesting project entitled “ Designing Home” which will explore those topics even more. The site is in blog format, combining Gospel and Christ centered principles and interior design methods. It is just in the beginning stages, http://designingachristianhome.com/
From the introduction:
“In 2002, after a discussion with a friend about bringing Christ into every room in her home, I began writing a book sharing ideas on interior design and the planning aspects of making our lives and especially our homes more Christ centered.
Through this process, I have gathered many thoughts, inspirations, and instructions to aid in our continual pursuit to know and be more like our Savior, specifically by designing our homes to be sacred places to do so. While a book is still in process, a blog seemed to be the perfect venue to organize my thoughts and share this valuable information.
This blog is meant to encourage an active by design approach, addressing physical and spiritual elements and principles, uplifting our home-life experience, creating an atmosphere worthy of the Spirit of God, and help change hearts and attitudes to focus on what is most important.
As an Interior Designer, I have been in hundreds of homes and have clients of many faiths. In every case I am brought in to create a place that my clients want to come home to, a place that speaks to them, comforts them, and certainly functions for their needs. Every Faith has its own unique influence on the home, and our homes should reflect that Faith.
Being Christian – a follower of Jesus Christ, specifically a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I will discuss the aspects of designing a Christian or Christ Centered Home with an emphasis on the LDS lifestyle.
I am excited to use my profession and faith to build stronger homes from the inside out. May your home be a place of comfort and refuge, may your home bring you closer to Jesus Christ by design. “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2: 6-7”
