You Capture – Every Day Things

August 12, 2010 by Elaine

Or in this case, things I see Every Day.

As I wandered around my house wondering what “every day” things to capture I realized that one of my favorite aspects about our rental is the fact that I’ve put my own stamp on it with the pretty items that I like and have in this house that make it our HOME, for now.

And so, I captured those.

Every day things that make my every day beautiful.

p.s. most of these were taken of things in our bedroom and that makes me happy…

(an antique mirror in the hallway, given to us from my MIL)

(various hat boxes and a round ‘train case’ that sit next to my dresser – and there are real “old lady” hats in these, I used to collect them…)

(a starfish above the two mirrors in our bathroom area. I had to have one of these to remind me of the our vacation since they were all over the house we stayed in)

(a couple of the “antique”, small jewelry boxes I own. Also used to collect these)

(an original painting, by none other, than my Mother. It hangs by my side of the bed. I kinda really love it.)
(pics of mah behbehs on the “new to us” old dresser I recently purchased)

(tassels on the beside lamp, aren’t they fun?)

    I love what you captured! I adore your hat boxes! I have hats my grandmother wore way back in the day. I think I need hatboxes like that to put them in! And those baby pictures! So adorable!

    I love all of these things and am especially drawn to your hat boxes—where did you find them, and sometime you must do a post on the hats inside!!!

    Your starfish idea is cute, and the tassels are wonderful, too. All of your little touches make it more like home!

  23. Kami's Khlopchyk says

    I love your decorating style! So pretty and that starfish is a K to me. But I might be kinda bias…
