in front of the thermostat

When you are so sick of staring at that nekkid wall. And there’s a thermostat. And you don’t want to spend a dime. And you have eight minutes. And you decide to look at your entire house as a shop, including what’s in the garage, closet and drawers, and the porch…

You nail up an old broken shelf, set a plant and a few frames up on it, add a bolt of string for color and that candle that burned down but you still like the design. Then you tape a silhouette you cut out of scrapbook paper you traced from that other silhouette you have.

Instead of waiting around for the perfect option, you just made use of what you already have, and you like it 100% better than an empty wall.
