Everyone inherits “memories” from their parents and grandparents. These could be in the form of actual items like dishes, silver, decorative items, photographs and quilts. Do you just tuck them away to only bring out occasionally? Or would you like to find a creative way to display them so that you honor the past by “living inside a scrapbook”?

In this refreshed and elevated session, Martha McGlothlin Bowman, of the popular decor Instagram “The Confetti Chronicles” will illustrate how to create a home that reflects the stories, people, and moments that shaped you. Moving beyond traditional decorating, she shares her signature approach to curating meaningful pieces—whether inherited, discovered, or collected over time—and weaving them into a modern, intentional home. She invites attendees to engage in a “show & tell conversation” and to learn how to edit, display, and elevate personal collections, and discover practical ways to let memory guide design without feeling cluttered or nostalgic. It’s an invitation to live inside your scrapbook—beautifully, thoughtfully, and with purpose.
