04.03.07 The 3rd Key for Adding Value to Your Home

3. Keep Informed

As narrated in my story, you will recall that I made an effort to educate myself regarding the trends so that I could be well-informed before designing Dayspring. The same could have been true for the Shunammite woman. Since there was no internet back in the days, she must have found a way to get information on what was trending in home improvements, in line with the styles of that time; so as to make her ‘dream home’ a reality. What was ‘in vogue’ in the hotels in Shunem City?

Every woman has a ‘dream home’ in her mind. A value-adding home maker ‘finds that dream’. Write down the items that you see in your ‘dream picture’. How does what you have on ground compare with that dream?

From there, make time to research images in line with your dream, for example on the internet, as that could give you more ideas and clarity on your preferences. For instance, what does a ‘luxury bedroom’ look like in google images? How do the images compare with your dream?

As Proverbs 24:4 says, getting such knowledge will fill the rooms of your home with rare and beautiful treasures hence the need for you to be adequately informed.
