I think one great element of interior design is having things in your home that remind you of your loved ones. I love using items in my decorating that remind me of my friends and family here in NC, & back in Michigan. This week, while in an antique store I found a pair of owls that reminded me of one of my bestfriend, & right away I was like, “they’re friendship owls!!” All my husband could do was laugh, and shake his head. I can’t help that my brain thinks like that. Don’t Judge. Anyways, I bought them, & decided to personalize them before giving her one of the “friendship owls” that we could both have in our homes to remind us of eachother…

This weekend we are going home to MICHIGAN!! I am so excited because we have not been home since August 2010, so I have been getting so excited to see family & friends. I love to have things around my house that remind me of friends and family while I’m missing them here in NC. Here are just a few more items around my house that remind me of all the wonderful people in my life…
Hydrangeas always remind me of my grandma.. They are my favorite flower & some of them in my house were given to me by her.
This tree decal was given to me by my wonderful sister-in-law. I am glad that I found a way to show it off for me to always think about her.
I painted this coffee cup with one of my best friends, Jess, at a pottery place when she came to visit me here in NC.. Always makes me think of the fun times we had on her visit.
Hope you loved seeing a few things in my house that remind me of friends and family. Do you have things around your house that remind you of your friends and family?
