A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Today's roundup (besides being a bit late to grace you all with its presence!) isn't exactly a design element, but it is something that the majority of us use to decorate our spaces, and it's one of the key elements in turning a house into a home. What is it you ask? Why it's none other than the personal picture!


These special pieces of paper allow us the rare opportunity to go back in time, even if it is just for a brief moment. With the push of a button our memories are magically transformed into something tangible that we can see and hold (and remember forever). And so even though we can't physically relive the past, we can at least freeze a moment of it in time with the use of a camera, thus allowing us to look back and smile.
