into my window

Welcome to my new blog!

"into my window" has been inspired by the memories that homes hold. a home isn't just a building, it's a place where memories are made stored and kept forever among the furniture, pictures and walls. i hope to capture the stories and memories :)
The first home featured is my grandparents! Their home has survived generations of children playing in the spare room, countless coffee mornings (and afternoons) complete with "oma biscuits", and a multitude parties! Despite all this, it still retains in original charm. I love the wall paper, the pictures that cover the living room walls, telling the family history, and all the mantlepeices and shelves layered with bits and pieces of memorabilia. Each piece has its place and story, and some date back to the 1800's and were passed down from my Oma's Oma! (like the tea set). The ship framed in the picture below was where my Opa worked, and the windchime set against the backdrop of vintage wallpaper is probably from the mid 1900's. Take a look "into my window", and let me know what you think of my new project!
