Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to give up prized collections. Show off your prized possessions can enhance the beauty in your house. For me it is all about Collecting Frogs - a Fun Hobby for All Ages and the trick is figuring out how to organize your collections so you can exhibit them creatively, which I do in a number of ways and what is listed below will help describe what can be done. You can tastefully decorate your house and not look like you are a hoarder if you do it right.
Step 1 is easy. Put it into your schedule one day to sort though your collections. Make a thorough search of everything. Collect them all and lay them out in an open space. It is useful to visualize your collection. If you can, create a record of your collection. The list can be used in a variety of things. Having a record will stop you from purchasing duplicate items. When the list gets too long, it could be a sign that it is time to get rid of things. It will help you remember what is in your collection so you can show it off. By keeping a diary of your collectibles you can enjoy them in this way and many other ways. As you go through your stuff, ask yourself a few questions. Does everything really belong in your collection?` Is there one item that is more important for me to see than another? What do I absolutely love? It is as much fun to look at something as it is to tell the interesting story that goes with it. A collection needs to be fun and something that is important for you. They should never feel like a burden. The second thing is just as easy. Consider the size of your house and make some choices about where you feel the best place to show off your stuff is. That could be in the living room, kitchen or the bathroom. Don’t forget about using vertical space effectively. For instance, you might decide to group your artwork and photographs on a living room wall, or you might have gone to www.myfrogcollection.com and added items that you can display in a shadow box or cabinet. You can display the collectibles in numerous fashions and should consider your options. For instance, you can display them on a windowsill, wall, shelf, or in a jar or bowl.
Number three is looking for things to hold your collectibles. Many books have been written and are available at the public library that give examples of ways to display things. So if you’re totally stuck and can’t figure out how to display your collections, use the internet, and you’ll find creative ways to display Pez dispensers, jewelry, action figures, collectible frogs wine memorabilia, and more. Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to give up prized collections. It is possible that you can add to the beauty in your home with the proper displays. The important thing to remember is that you need to do it tastefully and not to overdo any one thing.
If you want to hang onto your collections, but keep living space uncluttered, consider incorporating some pieces of furniture into your living space. An example of this would be placing some of the collectibles on your windowsills. You can also put stuff on the tables that are spread around your home. It can be used for displaying crafts, photos, or artwork. It’s a cool catch all table to display your items. Don’t just stick with the traditional ways to show off your collections. It is also important to edit your collections. You don’t have to display them all at once. Constantly changing what is on display will give you another reason to enjoy your collection.
