The word Person comes from the Latin word Persona, which means ‘mask’–so it seems that a gallery of masks is a natural way to add personality into a living space. I have spent the last year collecting these masks and this weekend I finally felt like I had enough to create a little statement gallery in our bedroom. I added two little lion dolls I picked up in Mexico last year as well as a (Peruvian?) hat that I sometimes wear but use also use as decor, and included an East African necklace made from old records. This international cluster of personalities really does inject a fun, lively and even humorous touch to the bedroom that I love. How do you add personality into your home?
Great tips, Justina. I also love the finished look – the Peruvian hat adds interest and a further dimension to the wall.
Thanks Will, I think so too– and I *really* want a Juju hat but they are so darned expensive!
Very cool way of adding personality, Justina! I’m adding personality with little finds that somehow relate to me and my personality – think it’s the most natural way of adding personality to a home. Just like the great vintage hamza hand I bought a few days ago…
that vintage hamxa is stunning!!
LOVE these masks! So gorgeous, when I get my own place I would love to do something similar
