Showcase a few of your favourite things
{Candle Sticks}
It's funny what some unwanted objects can do when your tight for space. I have had these candle sticks for years, I bought them at Ikea. I don't think I ever actually used them as candle holders, they were just decorations on my coffee table. They ended up in a box for months but I finally found a use for them. They have come back to life to rescue my dangly earrings from my handbags, jewellery box & jacket pockets. I didn't like the idea of putting them all in a bulky box. They tend to get tangled and I forget what's in there. This is a great way to keep them safe, I can see what I've got and it looks nice too! Best of all I didn't spend a penny! But I couldn't stop there....
{Coat Hooks}
A few months ago my husband found six of these vintage hooks in an old building that was being demolished, he thought that I would like them (he knows me well). The only problem was finding a place for them all. In the end we put one on the inside of the stairwell door and the other in my office/spare room.
I love looking at my stuff, but you can't have your whole wardrobe on display. So I chose this rabbit fur bomber that used to belong to my mother and all my necklaces. Oh..and a couple of bags. One less bulky thing in my closet makes a big difference.
{And two mini cut glass boxes from the charity shop for some of my rings}
Fact....everything in your home is about you. Who you are, where you've been, what you like to eat or wear. Don't be afraid to showcase your personality & make it so that you see the things you love every day. Oh...and Remember unconventional pieces make great backdrops.
