Model Ships Add Joy and Nostalgia to Your Home
Every item you use in your home decoration should spark a little joy in your heart. As you fill the spaces in your home, your heart should sing. Your decorations shouldn't just be placeholders, they should be personally meaningful.
The best decor will not only remind you of a favorite moment, bringing a fleeting memory to life in a new way every time you see it, it will also have some universal appeal, impacting your friends, family, neighbors and guests in a unique way, because it holds a shared sense of nostalgia, whimsy, or delight.
Look around your home. Do you have items on display that aren't allowing your home to live up to its potential? You can start to change the way you decorate, by gradually replacing these place-holder items with items that have significant meaning to you.
A great home decor category to consider is model ships. According to an article in The Tribune called "Model Ships Stir Nostalgia" by Jason Jordan, people of all ages are naturally drawn to model ships,
"With the invention of high-tech gadgets Americans have turned their attentions away from traditional hobbies to bury their faces in screens in favor of electronic gaming, texting and the sort.
However, when model shipbuilder Jerry Kirk of Wellsville takes his stunning scale models out to local lakes and ponds as he did at Almond Lake this weekend, they are bound to turn heads of all ages."
When you decorate your home with the charming HMS Victory it may remind you of a simpler time, or of a person you care about who, like Jerry Kirk, had a passion for building and racing model ships. Or choose the Aquarama Model Speed Boat to remind you of a favorite vacation or a memory at the lake.
No matter what specific ship you choose to feature in your home, chances are good that it will conjure some wonderful memories for your guests who have their own pleasant associations with the ocean.
