What makes a home special? The family that lives there, of course. In a million little details, from the artwork on the fridge to the rain boots drying in the entryway, our spaces tell the stories of our lives. And around the house, nothing shouts out who we are more loudly or clearly than the projects we conceive and create together.

Check out some of our favorite examples of family creativity -- and get inspired to express your own one-of-a-kind ingenuity. These imaginative ideas, including a porch floor that says welcome and a wall display that calls out "Time to play!" prove that home is where the art is.
