35 Bible Verses to Bless Your New House

This post may contain affiliate links. I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on the links but at no additional cost to you. Thank you for continuing to support JandLOnline!

I had this idea in my head to have our family write blessings on the walls of our new home before we even purchased land. At our last home, we had an awesome neighbor on one side who did this and I was annoyed at myself that we didn’t do it during the building process. But the Lord had other plans for us because we ended up selling that house and were given the opportunity to build our dream home!

Today I’ll be sharing with you 35 bible verses for inspiration to bless your new home during your own building process.

I had wanted to plan a family BBQ at the property with our parents and siblings to dedicate our home but it rained the day before and it wasn’t going to be safe to park cars on the grass like we usually do. So James and I grabbed a quick lunch for the kids and set out a picnic, our first meal, in the dining room of our new home. Afterwards, the kids and I wrote bible verses throughout the home.

I selected a verse for each of the kids to write in their rooms as a reminder to not be afraid to put all their faith in God; He will be there when they wake and He will be there while they sleep.

I love that Natalie selected her favorite verse to write above her window.

Here are a few others that we chose:
“Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger”
James 1:19

As a blind reminder for myself; I pray for patience every day while I strive to raise our children without anger and frustration. This verse was placed next to where our bed will be in the master bedroom.

On the staircase:
“By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with precious and pleasant riches.”
Proverbs 24:34

In one of our son’s rooms:
“The Lord will keep you from evil; He will keep you safe. He will protect you as you come and go, now and forever.” Psalm 121:8

In our youngest son’s room:
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Above our front door:
“You will be blessed when you come in; and blessed when you go out.” Deuteronomy 28:6

I have created a list with 35 of my favorite bible verses which we used to bless our home that I hope you will draw inspiration from for your own home! Don’t forget to PIN one of the images below to share this post with your friends!

Our upstairs hallway leading to the kids lounge/pl Our upstairs hallway leading to the kids lounge/playroom has this big plain wall that is visible from the family room below.

We had planned on just having can lights here but the HVAC design wouldn't allow it so our electrician suggested wall sconces and I am so thrilled because I hadn't even considered them. 

I now plan to make this a feature wall with a huge family portrait hung between the two sconces but should we add shiplap behind to the wall or no? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.
I stopped by the house last night... the whole hou I stopped by the house last night... the whole house is primed and some electrical work was done. 

Here's a view from the master bath looking into the master bedroom.  I am so loving all the windows in here!!

Right now, we're delayed on interior doors.  They have been pushed another 2 weeks and our builder won't move forward until doors are in :( 

Other than Home Depot and Lowes, who has in stock doors that we can go purchase? I just need something there to get us moving again.

Today's update on #housemanorva: 
- We are still waiting on 2 windows. In the original shipment, they lost one and broke the other. We're told they will be here next week (again).
- The painters were on-site on Monday priming the walls for our BM Gray Owl interior walls!

1. Laundry/Mudroom: We'll have 7 lockers/cubbies with USB outlets in each for charging phones/laptops
2. Library: On the right side will be an antique mantel that matches the one that'll be in family room. Eventually we will do built-ins and install an electric fireplace
3. Master Bathroom: Perspective from the master closet. On the left is the toilet room, straight ahead is where my free standing tub will be and on the right is the shower.
4. Laundry/Mudroom on the left and Pantry on the right. In the pantry, we will have a whole wall of shelves on the right wall and an extra fridge on the back wall. 
5. Study Nook: Perspective from the pantry. We will install a butcher block desktop in here.

The Study Nook is a 6x6 space carved into the hallway that leads from the garage to the kitchen and it has a little 2x3 window to provide some natural light as well as a can light over head.

Do you have a space like this in your home?

Happy Friday friends! A little update... we're wai Happy Friday friends! A little update... we're waiting on interior doors to be delivered. They've been delayed, seems to he the story of our build.

Tile was delivered Wednesday and the poor delivery driver got stuck in our driveway.

Cabinets should be here in a little over a week!

Hoping our flooring gets installed soon, can't wait to see that in place!

Meanwhile, I finished my first book of the year, Firefly Lane, and posted my review on the blog at JandLOnline:

Question: Is it the general contractor's responsib Question: Is it the general contractor's responsibility to be on site to accept deliveries related to a home build (flooring, tile, doors etc)?

I get more and more frustrated at the number of things we are doing ourselves for the build.

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone's new year has go Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone's new year has gotten off to a great start! I've been enjoying a new book, relaxing, cooking up some new banana bread recipes and looking forward to the new phase we're moving into on the build of #housemanorva 

Tonight, we're going to plan out some of our landscaping for the front yard. Our builder is just going to seed and straw so we'll have a blank slate to go from once we move in. What are some of your favorite plants that you'd suggest for landscaping near the porch and garage?

I just finished A Breath of Snow and Ashes, book 6 of the Outlander series. But since the rest of the series is in storage til the house is done, I decided to start one of the books I got for Christmas: Firefly Lane.
Super different than my normal read but I'm enjoying it so far.

What books are on your list?

I wanted to share a few more drywall photos. We me I wanted to share a few more drywall photos. We met with our contractor yesterday to go over colors, fireplace and closet shelf details and while we were there, the power company showed up to start work!!

The drywallers saw extra drywall and finished out what was supposed to be our unfinished future kid's lounge/playroom. Positive note: it's one less thing for us to do later but Negative note: we hadn't run electric yet other than one outlet, cable and ceiling fan pre-wires. So James will have to cut a strip out to run electric later and fix it.

I'm super excited about the openness of the Floorplan and I can't wait to see my laundry/mudroom finished with a full wall of cubbies/lockers on the left and laundry on the right!

Next up: interior doors and trim work I think with flooring and tile. We'll be ordering our cabinets today.

Pretty excited about my clearance tile score from Pretty excited about my clearance tile score from today! The original tile I wanted for my laundry/mudroom from Floor & Decor went out of stock everywhere before we could order so I was bummed and went back to the drawing table. 

I was going to place our tile order today with a different selection but we decided to hit Lowes to check out their tile before I hit submit. 

The tile in the photo above is so similar to my original selection and was on clearance for $.38/piece saving us about $300 on our laundry room! So we bought all 11 boxes they had on the shelf to make sure we had plenty of extra! Can't wait for the upcoming couple of weeks of progress now. Insulation inspection is scheduled for tomorrow with drywall installation starting this week and then tile and hardwood following by the end of the year!
