MINI DOOR METAMORPHASIS

Welcome to my mini metamorphasis!

This is my front door BEFORE. The picture was taken from the spiral staircase looking down to the inside of the door in the foyer. The door is much larger than it really appears here and I had to stand on a huge ladder to complete my metamorphasis!



My father's favorite verse in the Bible was from Joshua 23 verse 15. "Choose you this day whom you will serve, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"


My father was one of the wisest men I have ever known. He was a devoted husband and father and loved the Lord with all his heart. He actually died in a car accident driving home after working a Christian retreat (Tres Dias) in another state.

I wanted something that would be remind me every day of his wisdom and the legacy he left. I chose to create this verse which was cut out of vinyl and just "clings" to the wall. If I ever decide to move it somewhere else, it will peel right off and will not leave a mark! I see this verse every day and it affrims what my family believes and is a wonderful reminder of the values my father passed on to us.

This is the door AFTER:


Thank you to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting Metamorphosis Monday.
