10 BEAUTIFUL SHELTER IDEAS AND IMAGES NOW
Sometimes, the simplest shelter is the most beautiful. That’s why we love a cozy cabin in the woods, a tiny tent under the stars, and an open-walled beach hut, for example.
Enjoy these images and thoughts about Beautiful Shelter below.
“Be true to yourself. Make each day a masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day.”
– John Wooden
“Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm, it exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm, and in those times of trouble, when you are most alone, the memory of love will bring you home.”
– John Denver
“I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace.”
– Linda McCartney
“Living in a little house in the woods… what will I discover today?”
– Naturalist at Home
“May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.”
– Marianne Williamson
“There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea.”
– Gustav Stickley
“All architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.”
– Philip Johnson
“I’ll be your shelter, I’ll be your storm, I’ll make you shiver, I’ll keep you warm. Whatever weather, baby I’m yours, be your forever, be your fling Baby, I will be your everything.”
– Boys Like Girls
“A mother is like an island in life’s ocean vast and wide, a peaceful quiet shelter from the restless tide.”
– Unknown
– William Cullen Bryant
