If you don’t have one, start a collection of these…

You love to collect and hate to throw anything away. That’s what gives your home it’s, shall we say, “lived-in” look. Keep the accumulating from turning into hoarding by imposing some order and artistry.

No matter what you have—vintage toys, matchbooks, buttons, stamps, model airplanes, album covers, glass, photos—you can show them off and enliven a room. Group treasures into wall art in shadowboxes or arrange on shelves or tabletops.

Edit your tableaus by theme, color, shape, or size. And you don’t have to showcase each one. Periodically change the display to match your changing moods.
