I have one. And by the looks of it so does everyone else. 

You've seen this image above of my subway scroll sign on my instagram page. It's been a fixture in my house for the past 5 years, moving from apartment to apartment with me. I don't think my home would feel the same without this guy.

Today on pinterest I noticed everyone else feels the same:

Mane Message

Here at Dallas Shaw.com we are all about putting the things you use every day on display in a beautiful way. I think I use hair ties more than anyone else in the world. I always have at least one on my wrist. I take my hair up and down a million times a day. I am always reaching for one while I paint, to throw on when I head out for a run... so I decided to make mine more easily accessible. 

Recently I was introduced to Mane Message, so I decided to add a few of their hair ties to my collection (b/c everything looks better in excess) and now they live on my desk. 

I love the idea of taking things we use every day in turning them into part of your home styling. 

How do you do this at home? 

Thanks for making me such a  fan of yours Mane Message.

 I'll keep my collection growing.
