im a maximalist/consumerist kinda guy, but having all your awesome shit together to display on a shelf is so cool to me it can be collectors items or personal mementos, for me it’s both! i just like displaying my favorite items from my life. that’s more for the vibes, i dont know about space or anything :(
Something that I‘ve been doing as of late that has kept me grounded to the truest sense of the word. We as humans have our “things” - the items, objects, devices, whatever - that help us navigate our everyday routines. I like to give importance to these things, they’re tools that are propelling me forward each and every day. For me, it’s my carabiner of keys, my wired earphones, my black belt that keeps my pants up, my dented water bottle that provides me with the upmost hydration. It’s kind of going to back to the it’s-the-little-things-mentality. Try it out, see what power comes from your tools.
If it grabs my attention, I bring it home. Even if I don’t have a place in mind for it, my excitement for the object itself spurs great creative energy for reexamining room arrangements that I’ve grown accustomed to. This big ass ceramic piece is a welcomed challenge
