54 DO IT YOURSELF Summer 2020

MEMORY COLLECTOR

Michelle is careful to

include meaningful

items in every vignette

in her home—things that

are special to her and

remind her of travels and

family—and the living

room bookcase, above,

and living room nook,

left, are brimming with

them. The bottom shelf

of the bookcase is piled

with fabrics from all over

the world (New York,

Guatemala, France); the

custom watercolor (an

Etsy commission) on the

gold-edged table is of

her pup, Rufus.

DO IT

BETTER

RATHER THAN TOTING HOME

SOUVENIR T-SHIRTS OR MUGS

FROM A VACATION, INVEST

IN ARTWORK (PHOTOS,

PAINTINGS, TEXTILES) WHEN

YOU TRAVEL. “TRY TO MEET

LOCAL ARTISTS AND FIND

COOL PIECES—THEY’LL

REMIND YOU OF YOUR TRIP,”

MICHELLE SAYS.
