Inspirational Home Decor: Is it for you?
January 15, 2022

These days, I’ve noticed phrases on everything from coffee mugs, to tea towels, to framed art, to door mats.

I admit some may be cornball, but upon closer inspection, these pithy expressions have a lot of wisdom and humor–both of which we need right now.

I have always been a “quote” person, so words on canvas or paper or a pillow have ever attracted me. How about you?

Here are some photos I’ve snapped during vacations, shopping trips– or simply from the internet–that have caught my eye:

Some days I need to be reminded of stuff:

Some days I need to remember to be a better person:

Some days I need to have a glass of wine and laugh a little.

Some days I must remember I have a dog:

Some days I need to recall what season it is:

Some days I need to let my kids read my feelings off a kitchen towel:

Some days I just need to “suck it up”:

This quote on “life” is actually in a book, but it really should be on a pillow. Don’t you agree?

And every day I need to remember to be grateful:

Are you in love with inspirational decor, or can you do without it?

This being my first blog of the New Year, I’d appreciate comments, just so I still know I have my beloved readers.

I love reading your newsletter. Sayings on signs tell people who come to our homes a little about us. I have funny or homey signs in every room. Happy New Year!

    You are my kind of gal, Yvonne.
    It’s so true about those homey signs. They do say a lot about us.
    (And when someone gives one to you, you get to know yourself a little better.)
    Thanks for your great perspective.

I got a chuckle out of those. In my opinion, a few go a long way in terms of home decor unless they are on cocktail napkins. I enjoy your blog!!

    Betty,
    I totally forgot about cocktail napkins. They have the BEST sayings!
    Happy New Year!

I loved all your cute sayings. I looked around my house and I only have one. It’s a little freestanding piece that says “Bee Happy”. I bought it because it had a cute little bee on it and it was made with some of my “happy” colors! I enjoy reading all the witty quotes, I’ve just never purchased any.

    Janet,
    We don’t all need sayings to remember what’s important. I bet you gravitated to your “Happy” sign because the colors are so bright and fun! Thanks for writing.

I too, love “sayings” on my pillows! I have one that says “What part of Princess do you not understand” (I think a friend probably gave me that pillow! haha)
“New shoes cure the blues” and “I’m not a Morning Person” which is more me than any saying out there! 😂

    I love those, Hilde!
    It is so sweet when people give you items with fun sayings. A lovely thoughtfulness that says, “I know who you are.”
    What better gift is there?
    Thanks for writing.
