So loving this!

Is this not the cutest thing ever?

I am totally falling for this sweet little paper bowl with gold leaf from up in the air somewhere.  It is perfect for holding rings, or a little collection of things.

Do I have to start thinking Christmas already??

Natural palette..

 

I love the light natural feeling of this space.  All that white makes it seem so light and airy.

I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

Vintage trophies display - Green Design

I think that displaying collections in your home is the best way to personalize it and enjoy it!  If you tuck away your collections what fun are they.  Display what makes you happy!  Either in a grouping or spread out they make wonderful accents and conversation pieces.  It is also such a great gift to have vintage items in your home it gives it a feeling of life!

Visit our Etsy site for various vintage items!  Some of my favorites are the vintage trophies and cameras!

Vintage Mirrors as art

I have always had a thing about unframed vintage mirrors. I love these collages of them! I have a set of 3 just waiting to be hung in the guest room - I am inspired I will have to finally hang them up!

Green Design: Bookcase of curiosities

Creating your own bookcase of curiosities is and should be a fun design project. I think it is a fantastic idea to mix your collection of wonderful things with books. A great way to unify your collection or make a simplified back drop for it is to coordinate your books. If you are a book buyer, like I am, it is hard to display them with their covers - too many colors and too much going on distracting from my treasures. A great way to unify your books is to cover them in one or two different colors of paper, you can write their titles simply on the binding for reference. If you find your collection consists of mostly paperbacks or a combination of both wrap the hardback books and turn the paperback with their pages out.

If you don't have a collection of books you can buy groupings of distressed books to display with your treasures. Check ours out online here. Or you can take up reading!!
