294 // 5 ways to tell your family's story in home decorating
Manage episode 452162078 series 2942946
Hey friend!
As I was preparing my Thanksgiving menu this week, I came across recipes that were nostalgic - tucked away in a box and pulled out once a year, if that. Those recipes? They were written by my mom who passed away six years ago. I haven't had her frozen fruit salad for years - decades even, but it was definitely part of my childhood. Those recipes got me thinking...
HOW ARE YOU TELLING YOUR FAMILY'S STORY IN YOUR HOME DECORATING?
In today's episode, I'm sharing five ideas for decorating with a subtle nod to your family story that go beyond hanging family photos on the wall. These are subtle nods to memories and cherished moments that are too precious to have hidden in a box in the closet.
5 ways to tell your story in home decorating:
1. Understand your decorating style: There's a direct correlation to understanding your style and decorating with confidence. Confident choices allow you to move away from the generic, bed in the bag, pieces and into more nuanced, subtle decision making. It's there that you'll find your story.
2. Out of the box artwork: Artwork doesn't have to be framed to be considered art. Hanging collections made from special interests or hobbies can make a beautiful, unique to your story piece of art. Collections of vintage cameras, musical instruments, sporting equipment immediately come to mind. Artwork of special locations directly tied to family history - location of proposal, wedding, etc. aren't overtly shouting "I was here - everyone take notice." Instead they're serving as reminders of how important that special memory is to you and your family.
3. Special interests and hobbies: As above, displaying remnants of those special interests or hobbies, rather than storing them away in boxes for a peek every once in a while can be a nuanced, whimsical and delightful way to add character to your home that item from Target just can't provide.
4. Family heirlooms: Mixing and matching old and new makes such a delightful curated look in your home while providing opportunities for them to have a second chapter. If you don't like their original state, try modifying it to make it fit more of your current aesthetic.
5. Family history: Stories or recipes written down and framed, ticket stubs of first dates, vintage clocks set to birth times of your babies, wedding china out of the box and displayed as an installation in your dining room are all examples of living history. Getting them out of the box, dusted off and serving as reminders of who you are add a delightful touch to your home.
