Memories

Old family pictures in an antique white ironstone bowl.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Jonathan Baker to Member Photos: Small Touches Make a Big Difference

I saw this and instantly thought, "Why have I not done this before?!" It's tough to display photos in bulk, but this is brilliant. I don't think it would work with color pics, but by going with slightly worn black and white photographs, it encourages guests to pick up and sift through this bowl of history.

added by ds design studio to Hurricanes Turn Candles Into Elegant Fall and Winter Décor

Vary the heights. When arranging a group of hurricanes, vary the heights for a pleasing effect.

added by Laura Gaskill to Decorate with Intention: Create a Vision for Your Home

Take a trip down memory lane.Think back to your childhood home, and anywhere else you spent a great deal of time. What about the space itself do you remember most fondly? I loved a round table full of family photos my grandmother kept in her entry hall; I always paused there to look at the old black and white photos. Today I might take this idea and give it a fresh spin by placing loose photos in a bowl — more my style, but still honoring the memory.

8. Keep basic supplies on hand. Keep on hand at least a three-day supply of items such as candles, batteries, potable water, foods that don't require refrigeration etc. Put together an emergency kit as recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency well in advance of any storm.
