collections

The latest O at Home magazine has this editorial piece on designer's collections. I love that they featured Maira Kalman (love her) and also love the weird bird pieces of Tom Filicia. Being a packrat myself, I have a ton of collections too all throughout my place. My latest one was just installed over the weekend. I picked up one of these shelf-y thingy's and put it amongst the paintings and art that line my stairwell. Now my Jonathan Adler pieces I got last fall have a home!Here are some other collections I have going on...

Toys in my orange case....More toys in my library downstairs...White vases on top of the shelving in the downstairs bedroom...(I have more but I don't want to scare anyone at how much crap stuff I keep, hehe)

If you enjoy looking at collections, Poppytalk has been doing a fantastic series of collection roundups of other bloggers- check 'em out here (look on the left sidebar tab)...

Love your collections. Jonathan Adler has some fun pieces. I have two large melmac platters and love them.

I love these. I wish I had more space sometimes but then I would be afraid of what kind of stuff I would get.

Wow! These are great! I can't wait to move out and display my collections as well. Hope we can see more of your stuff. I love your blog! :)

I love your print/photo wall -- I LOVE the shelfy thing -- do you mind sharing where you got it? I'd love to adapt for my home!

hi abbey- i actually got the shelfy thing at Target! What I loved was that it came in an off white color- my walls aren't starck optic white, so this off-white color blended nicely with the wall- They also had other variations and all weren't very expensive-

I've been searching for a place for my Jonathon Adler ceramics as well and you display is the perfect place for them. Thanks for the inspiration!
