The wonderfully rich colors and simple compositions of vintage photographs make stunning visual displays, if you allow yourself to think beyond the traditional picture frame.
Ms. Jeannie likes to tuck old pictures here and there around the house, in unexpected places, so that when she happens upon them, its almost like she’s discovering them for the first time again. It is delightfully fresh decorating!
Below are some fun and creative ways to display your favorite photos (click on each photo for additional info)…
1. In a folding ruler:
2. On a metal rake…
3. In a mason jar…
4. On an oil can…
5. In a toast rack…
6. On a vintage receipt holder…
7. On a hanger…
8. In a flower frog…
9. In a record holder…
10. On a clipboard…
11. On a purse…
12. On an embroidery hoop-like display board…
13. In an open chest…
14. In a cup holder…

My favorite thing in the world to do is decorate with the old and the new. My house is constantly changing and evolving. LOVE seeing blogs and articles about antique decor. Excellent! I wouldn’t even know where to start if I sent you pictures!

Need to reduce light damage on antique maps, books, manuscripts, photographs and textiles? Try the Domoticware DX-2 Inclined Art Conservation Table which uses an electro-optic glass facade and LEDs to illuminate the object only when driven by proximity. At all other times, the work of art sits in complete darkness, protected from UV, IR and visible light damage. For more, see http://www.domoticware.com
