Room Names

I was listening to Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars. There's a beautiful line that I'd like to somehow post in my house: "Show me a garden that's bursting into life." It occurred to me that this would be a wonderful them to permeate a house...using music and literature to characterize an area. "On the road again", "All the other girls here are stars, you are the Northern Lights", "These boots are made for walking", "This little light of mine", "The strain's so great that every sixteen hours everybody lies down and gets a rest". Yes, I think I shall decorate a room like this.
