Beautiful! I've been trying to work some on one. Hard finding a good spot (we share a house with my non-Catholic parents)

Dom Mark Kirby, O.S.B., has written a prayer for noctural adoration of the Blessed Sacrament whilst one is at one's home.  I hope you find it to your liking.  What a lovely little altar!

Receive, Lord Jesus, this night watch
as an act of adoration and reparation directed to Thee
in the Most Blessed Sacrament,
especially in that tabernacle on earth where Thou art most forsaken.
Make me, especially for the sake of Thy priests and for their sanctification,
a faithful adorer of Thy Eucharistic Face
and of Thy Open Heart hidden in the Sacrament of Thy Love.
Trusting that faith, hope, and love abolish every distance
and transport the soul straightway to the object of its desire,
I will adore Thee now with the same sentiments
of thanksgiving, confidence, and pleading love
that I would have,
were I prostrate before the very Sacrament of Thy Body and Blood
hidden in the tabernacle, or exposed to my gaze upon the altar.

I need to do an alter again. I used to have one at my flat that i decorated mainly for the sake of visiting eyes i think, i used it on the odd occasion though. I haven't had one in my room since i moved back to my parent's, I have sacred images up but no alter, i can do one for real, hadn't thought about it, to self oppressed/obsessed. God is good, this thread has given me hope for a new alter.

I probably could've found a spot in our flat, actually. Would've just been small, but it is now, too. Edited by Archaeology cat

That thing is practically my best friend. I literally have it under my pillow some nights lol. 

 

Your home altar has inspired me to start building mine. Right now I just have a secret shelf in my closet with a lone candle.
