My mom is particularly talented at making any space warm and enjoyable. So, this blog post is a salute to how she has taught me how to make lemonade out of lemons. From sterile to striking, here's our step-by-step instructions for making a hospital room a home:
1.) Throw up some inexpensive Target birthday party garland up on the wall.
2.) Dress up the windows with static clings.
3.) Cover a wall with pictures drawn by 19ish of your closest Kindergarten friends (and, if possible, a giant card signed by your brother's classmates as well).




5.) Add a banner and lantern above the doorway.

6.) Light up a battery-powered candle to add some flickering ambiance at nightfall.

7.) Cover the nearest IV pole with Christmas lights to double as a night light.
8.) Throw in a cheap bathmat on the cold hospital bathroom floor.
You are your mother's daughter in many ways....decorating, courage, faith and humor.
