Some of these items are attractive and we absolutely love them for both their aesthetic and for the connection to our past. While with others we may love what they represent but not how they look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these items may hold financial value but most often it is the sentimental value that has us passing them down through the years.

This property can hold financial or sentimental value or both. Most often it is sentimental value that has us passing these items down. Family heirlooms can be almost anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of the most the commonly passed down home decor heirlooms and a few ideas on how you can decorate them: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Furniture pieces<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether big or small one of the most common of the family heirloom is the furniture. Furniture can be used anywhere in the home. If the colour or wood tone doesn&#8217;t work for you then paint or restain the piece. Reupholstering a fabric piece for a more modern look can revitalize an outdated piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to use old furniture in new ways is to convert it into something it was never meant to be. Such as: an old dresser has a sink added to it and it becomes a bathroom vanity or an old wooden tool box because a window sill herb planter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Books<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Can hold a lot of memories and help us to carry on traditions. I&#8217;ve kept all the books I had as a child. When I had children these were placed in their rooms and one day they will grace the grandkid&#8217;s rooms at the cabin. You can also frame old children&#8217;s books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old, leather bound books look fabulous displayed on open shelves or placed under a decorative item for a table top display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Holiday Ornaments<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Christmas ornaments are often passed down through the generations. If you like it as is, display it proudly on your tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If however, you don&#8217;t like they way it looks, but you still want to keep it try painting it, modify it with embellishments, or have a special tree that is just for displaying those ornaments and keep your main tree for the ornaments you&#8217;ve personally selected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Candle holders<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Are both decorative and practical. If they are silver but tarnished and you want to keep them as is, give them a good and proper clean and display proudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If however, you&#8217;re not a fan of the look then consider spray painting them a colour that you do like. Another option is to turn them into a pedestal tray or use as a base to prop up a picture frame. For an extra classy and sentimental touch, put a black and white picture of the loved one in the frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"711\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-711x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3946 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-711x1024.jpg 711w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-768x1106.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-scaled.jpg 1778w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 711px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 711\/1024;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"711\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-711x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-711x1024.jpg 711w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-768x1106.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photos-scaled.jpg 1778w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Old family photographs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially the old black and white photographs or coloured images done is an artistic fashion are often coveted. To decorate with these frame them in quality frames and either place strategically around the home or maybe create a gallery wall in a popular family space. You can also arrange these in simple leather bound photo albums and then display them in a book shelf or on a coffee table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-4-color has-text-color\"><strong>PRO TIP: <\/strong>If doing a gallery wall the frames don&#8217;t have to match but to make the display look cohesive have them all in the same colour with the same coloured matting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Really shouldn&#8217;t be messed with but a new frame and matting can make a world of difference. Since this is a heirloom, I strongly recommend that you have a professional do this and that you splurge on the best quality materials that you can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fabrics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially those lace doilies, can be difficult to know what to do with. Consider turning fabrics into quilts, throw pillow cases, curtains, or even a Christmas tree skirt. Frame or simply hang beautiful blankets for wall art.  Cut up old fabrics and make homemade Christmas ornaments that can then be passed on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For doilies, try framing them, embellish throw pillow covers, or create homemade ornaments for the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color\">Join At Jenny&#8217;s Place Free Printable Library!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<script async data-uid=\"4fd0eda240\" src=\"https:\/\/relentless-builder-8405.ck.page\/4fd0eda240\/index.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paper weights \/ Letter openers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make beautiful additions to any desk, or family command center.

Gone are the days of putting the silverware away and only touching it at Christmas dinner. Take these beauties out as often as possible and use them in your table settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>China<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The same can be said for your heirloom china. Stop hiding it away in cabinets that look like they came straight out of the &#8217;90s. Use your china to create beautiful tablespaces, display on the wall or in window sills, and don&#8217;t be afraid to mix and match. Sometimes mismatched china looks more charming then having every piece the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medals<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Are a source of pride for many of us. Our ancestors bravery is something to be commended and honoured. To do this, take them out of the drawer and lovingly place them in a shadow box to display. This can be done individually or grouped in a larger frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-4-color has-text-color\"><strong>PRO TIP:<\/strong> Use a matting that is a solid colour that will allow the metals to pop. Such as: white, black, or navy. And if there are several metals consider arranging these clustered in serval boxes in a group rather than in one big frame full of metals. This will look more current and will allow each metal to shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3940 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3.jpg 1512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/atjennysplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coffee-Grinder-3.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kitchen utensils<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The farmhouse kitchen really lends itself to these kind of items. Old kitchen tools, coffee grinders and hob pots look fabulous displayed either on open shelving, in display cabinets, or framed and mounted as wall art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If however, you&#8217;re not into the whole farmhouse look consider using these items in unique ways. Maybe use the wooden, family coffee grinder as a book end or group together old kitchen tools and spray paint them one colour. Mount this onto a long picture frame and display as wall art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recipes <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially one written is a loved one&#8217;s hand or one that has been passed down through multiple generations can be as practical as they are sentimental.
