nope, not Christmas stockings (yet). this is a display of one of my veryyy favorite Autumn/Winter trends, colorful tights and leggings! i have accumulated quite an impressive little collection (this is only half) and i have a SERIOUS problem of forgetting that i have things if i can't see them (this goes for everything in my home from clothing to studio to kitchen) so i am a HUGE fan of open storage of all types. seeing things daily helps me use them. i love that.
i added the little 'stockings' banner for a little bit of early Holiday love! <3
here are a few other areas in my home where open storage is a must...
erin and i are working on a TON of projects for rva and a couple for this blog! it's busy times in our cute little factory. i'll be back soon with more! XOXO. elsie
That is a good idea! I have to do that for my jewelry. I have all my necklaces hanging on my wall and my earrings in a couple teacups on my makeup table! Those are really cute tights by the way! I don't own any. Where do you find cute ones like that?

I'm all about the open storage wherever possible, and I have oodles of coloured and patterned stockings bunched up in drawers - I have to do this as I can never find the ones I'm looking for! Plus it looks cute. Yay, thanks for the inspiration!

I'm surprised your glasses are so neutral and you left the hanger plain ol' BROWN. Everything you own is so colorful!
