While I definitely am an iTunes gal and simply download a song here and there, I do have a very special place in my heart for records. Growing up, we had a ton and I would listen to the likes of Billy Joel's The Stranger or the 45 of Rock Me Amadeus and 99 Red Balloons (with 99 Luft Balloons on the B-side). And of course dance it out to Thriller. (I swear I knew all the moves!) When I was visiting my family the other weekend, I found those cherished records and brought home a few for my small space. Adding personal elements - photos, family heirlooms and, yes, old records - creates an intimate vibe in your space. You live here so make it your own. You don't live on page 12 of the West Elm catalog. Enjoy your space!
I love records! They're like art, except that I can get them for 50 cents a piece at my local music store :) They are easy to store if I get tired of them, and they don't take up too much room to display. Great tip!
