DISPLAY IDEA
These old blue glass mason jars have many uses. I have them filled with clothes pins and displayed in my laundry room window. More fun!
A FIND
Can't have enough chairs! And the best ones are found in the garbage of course! I came across 2 of these vintage kitchen chairs. They were pretty beat up so I stripped and painted them. They came out great!
PORTRAITS
I love vintage portraits but also have some that are not vintage. They look great in groupings, unframed! Fun!
PROJECT
Paint something GREEN! Another little table found in the trash!
ARTWORK
A nice thing about being an artist is that most of my friends are artists and I enjoy collecting their artwork. A great way to showcase their work is to make interesting groupings throughout your home!
DISPLAY IDEA
Hang groups of vintage restaurant china. A fun way to showcase your favorite pieces.
WEIRD?
I don't know what got me started collecting these mini chamber pots but as you can see I've got tons of them! They have sayings on them like "Go Way Back and Sit Down", "Morning Exercise", "Evening Exercise", "The Daily Bank", The Family Physician" and more... and some have an eye on the inside bottom and others have a little pig sitting inside with it's head sticking out. They range in size from about 3 inches to about an inch tall. Marked made in Germany or Japan. FUN!
DISPLAY IDEA
Mix art in with your collections!
DISPLAY IDEA
This small glass display case is actually from Pottery Barn (circa 1995!) and is a great way to show off these vintage poker chips and games.
DISPLAY IDEA
Showcase small pieces of colorful pottery on a vintage wire shelf.
DISPLAY IDEA
An old jar makes a great display for this vintage gum wrapper chain!
DISPLAY IDEA
Old stained glass windows look great hanging in windows. My favorites are the smallest ones... cottage size windows.
Another cottage size stained glass window which I found at a flea market.
I have been buying the small stoneware creamers; so far all are white. They are used for hot maple syrup in addition to display! I have a couple of restaurant dinner plates, I'd love to find a printed creamer! Thanks for showing us!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so sweet. I especially love the tiny ones. My Great grandmother collected small pitchers. After she passed away, they were divided among all her great-grandchildren, including me. I have 4 or 5. I should do a post on those one of these days.
