Incorporating a Find

Do you ever come across an antique find that you love, but don't know how to incorporate it into your living space? Sometimes it is hard to figure out the correct place for an item, especially if it is a collection or extremely bold in color, shape or size. Here are some examples of pieces that we have found and how we would  insert them into a home!

It is always a good idea to have accent pieces in a room, that way, you can draw attention to a specific area, like a perfectly styled vignette. Plus, this mirror adds a pop of metallic!

If you are like us, you have a lot of items within the same category. We have tons of antique silver trays, and it is a good idea to set a couple aside that you will use for serving purposes. But what do you do with all those other ones? Mount them on a wall! Be proud of your collection! Believe us, you may think you will throw enough dinner parties to use them all, but a large collection can quickly become overwhelming. Save space and get going on an awesome wall display!

Transferware is another example of a "what am I going to do with all this" collection. Due to its simplicity in color, it works great when massed together. Display it on a shelving unit or on the wall. Pick your favorite shapes and make sure to vary the size in order to create more visual interest.
