Displaying Collections

The only tricky part of owning a collection is displaying it properly... Here are some great ideas on how to show what you've got with charm and style.

Beautiful way to display china (instead of shoving it away in a cupboard somewhere)



Hang up antique spoons, forks, etc. neatly in rows
Pincushions - store them in a jar for a colorful display

Love plate collections displayed on the wall!

Swizzle Sticks - use them as bookmarks in a novel or to mark a recipie in a cookbook...they also look great as shown, displayed on the bar at a cocktail party

Loving the mixture of globes in all different sizes
Pez dispensers - who knew they could make such a lovely art wall!


Arrange your books in order by color!

Vintage camera display

Antique key art wall
Display a collection of your favorite glass vases on your dresser or buffet in the dining room...mix it up with different colors.
