There is no better way to add your personality to your home
than by putting the things you love on display. So the question arises, how do we display our beloved stuff without
having it look like clutter? The answer,
my friends, is to group them. Group your
stuff. It sounds easy enough. But it begets another question, how do we
group them?
One suggestion I often give people is to use pretty
containers to display small items. My
family loves the beach. We go there
several times each summer. We ALWAYS
come home with seashells. Look at this
pretty jar full of white seashells, what a great summery accessory it makes as
well as providing a display space for our collection.
I love old buttons, especially old white buttons. Since the buttons are tiny, I didn’t want to
overwhelm them in a large container. So
I found this tiny canning jar shown in the picture above. Don’t
they look charming?
Place them together and they create a lovely little
vignette. Two collections. One vignette. No clutter!
The same idea can be used with larger pieces. Check out this grouping of garden
statuary. It graces the top of an
entertainment armoire. It makes a lovely
statement and again…no clutter!
How do you display your collections? Let’s talk!
