LOUISVILLE, KY — In a cozy home nestled in the rolling hills of Kentucky, Lauren Moore, a devoted mother of three, has transformed a small corner of her living room into a prayer nook that’s equal parts charming and peaceful. 

With a knack for DIY projects and a heart for fostering faith in her family, Lauren’s creation has caught the attention of friends, neighbors, and even strangers online who are eager to replicate her idea. Here’s how this resourceful mom brought her vision to life—and how you can, too.

Finding the Perfect Spot

Lauren didn’t have a sprawling house with extra rooms to spare. Instead, she worked with what she had: a modest corner near her living room window. “I wanted a place that felt quiet but still connected to our everyday life,” she explains. The spot gets soft natural light in the mornings, making it an inviting space for reflection. For those looking to follow her lead, Lauren suggests picking a corner that’s out of the way of heavy foot traffic but still feels warm and accessible.

Gathering Simple Supplies

What makes Lauren’s prayer corner so endearing is its simplicity. She didn’t break the bank or hire a designer—she shopped her own home and a few local stores. Her setup includes a small wooden stool she found at a thrift shop for $5, a cushion from her couch, and a woven basket she already owned. “I wanted it to feel personal, not fancy,” Lauren says. She also added a candle from a local artisan and a tiny vase for fresh wildflowers her kids pick from the yard. The key? Use what you have and add small, meaningful touches.

Adding a Faith-Filled Focal Point

At the heart of Lauren’s prayer corner is a handmade wooden cross, crafted by her husband, Ben, during a weekend project with their oldest son. Above it, she hung a framed Bible verse—Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God”—in her own calligraphy. “It’s not perfect, but it’s ours,” she laughs. For those without a woodworker in the family, Lauren recommends a store-bought cross or even a printed quote that speaks to your soul. The goal is to create a visual anchor that draws you in.

Making It Kid-Friendly

With three little ones under eight, Lauren knew her prayer corner had to welcome tiny hands and curious hearts. She tucked a few children’s Bible storybooks into the basket and added a soft blanket for cuddly prayer times. “Sometimes my youngest just sits there flipping pages while I pray quietly,” she shares. Her tip for parents? Keep it sturdy and safe—no fragile decor—and let the kids claim it as their space, too.

Bringing It All Together

Lauren finished her corner with a personal flourish: a small journal and pen for jotting down prayers or gratitude lists. She painted the stool a cheery sage green to match her living room curtains, tying the nook into the rest of her home. The result? A prayer corner that’s as cute as it is functional, radiating calm amid the storm of family life. “It’s not about perfection,” Lauren insists. “It’s about making a spot where we can slow down and connect with God.”

Inspiring Others

Word of Lauren’s prayer corner spread when she posted a photo on social media, captioned simply, “Our little peace place.” Friends started asking for tips, and soon she was sharing her process with anyone who’d listen. “If I can do this with a toddler tugging at my leg, anyone can,” she says with a grin. Her advice for beginners? Start small, use what’s on hand, and let your family’s personality shine through.

Lauren Moore’s Kentucky prayer corner proves that beauty and faith can bloom in the tiniest of spaces. With a little creativity and a lot of heart, this mom has crafted a haven that’s inspiring others to pause, pray, and find peace right where they are. Ready to make your own?
