There’s nothing better, in my opinion, than a home which really is YOU… a Home with a History.
And here’s my favorite idea of all:

Scan Grandma’s hand-written recipe cards, use thrift shop frames… and hang from black satin ribbons to show them for the gifts from your past that they are! {Source}
Now, these framed bits don’t have to be family recipes… they could be love notes between your grandparents or pictures your children drew. But they are, without a doubt, part of your history… so they make your house a home, don’t they?
