AMASS IT & SHOW IT: COLLECTIONS

TOO MANY ITEMS IN YOUR COLLECTION TO FLAUNT THEM ALL AT ONCE; ROTATE PIECES TO KEEP YOUR LOOK INNOVATIVE


WHAT BETTER WAYS TO SHOW YOUR GROWING COLLECTION THAN TO HANG IT ON THE WALL.



GAME BOARDS DISPLAYED ON ONE WALL, THE ENTIRE COLLECTION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

WHEN DISPLAYING A SHELL COLLECTION, DON’T OVERDUE BUT A VINTAGE TUREEN FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH INTERESTING SHELLS YOU’VE FOUND ON YOUR TRAVELS WILL EVOKE MEMORIES OF YOUR TRIP FOR MANY MONTHS AFTERWARDS. GLUE SHELLS ON A MIRROR,COVER WOOD BOXES LIKE THE WIVES OF SEA CAPTAINS DID LONG AGO,PROP STARFISH IN A WINDOW,PUT SOME IN A BATHROOM LEDGE OR WINDOW, MAKE CURTAIN TIE BACKS. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS


CANDLE STICKS, TRAYS, CAKEPLATES & CHARGERS ARE GREAT TO DISPLAY AND ALSO USE IN VARIOUS ROOMS IN THE HOUSE. A CAKE PLATE TO HOLD SOAPS OR WASH CLOTHS IN THE BATH, WILL KICK IT UP A NOTCH.

HANG A QUILT OR COVERLET FOR INSTANT COLOR
OLD BOTTLES DISPLAYED ON SHELVES OR IN WINDOWS IF THEY’RE COLORED, THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH THEM & BRIGHTEN YOUR ROOM. I MAKE FRENCH BOTTLES OUT OF VINTAGE BOTTLES WITH A COPIED FRENCH POSTCARD, VINTAGE CHARMS & KEYS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BLOGGING FOR: I started my Blog two months ago.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU MOST: My Children inspire me to be the best person and Mother I can be. Design, Decorating, Antiques, Architectural Salvage, Photography, and Anything French inspire me to be creative. I am also very inspired by other Woman Entrepreneurs.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME: Honestly, with two children I don't have too much free time, so when I do I am usually either designing new pillows for my Collection, working on my Blog or shopping for antiques with friends.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS BLOG:
When I was asked to be a Contributer to Woman's World I was very flattered and when I visited the Blog I really loved the concept. What it comes down to is that it doesn't matter where we live or what we do but, that we are all in search of the same things: happiness, love, understanding and finding joy in the things that we love to do, whether it be work, family, creating, anything! We are all searching for a sense of peace and balance...

YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO SPEND TIME: Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades. It is a serene and calming place that I go to when I need to completely relax from the stresses of life. There is a large lake in the center and a pathway that goes all the way around it. It is somewhat hidden and as soon as I walk in I feel a sense of peace come over me. It really is a magical place!

THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED: I can't honestly say I can think of any one thing someone has told me. I do feel that MY best piece of advice would be to always follow your heart and believe in yourself and be true to who you are, regardless of what others may think. That is the only way in my opinion that you can truly be happy in life!
