Pretty groupings are really doing it for me lately. I love that you can take so many tiny vintage finds, throw them together and suddenly you have big modern statement. It's a really great solution if you can't afford a large piece of art. The "sin" plates above are a fun and funky way to add a boho twist to vintage plates. Wouldn't they be great in a dining room?
This gathering of old photographs from artist Lisa Congdon is just stunning! I'm really loving the no-frills attitude toward their display while the over all feel is still elegant.
These matchbox cars tacked up like butterflies are so clever!! I could see them working beautifully in a little boy's room. Try vintage fabric in painted embroidery hoops to add a pop of color. I think they'd be even cuter with something embroidered right over the nostalgic pattern.
These carafes from Three Potato Four look so interesting when grouped together and filled with different colors. Plus, for every one sold, they will donate $1 to help fight hunger.
And of course, old suitcases. Offering up a bit of romance while secretly hiding last years tax papers!
I love the look of similar items grouped together. It really makes the most of it, especially with smaller items like pottery, old photos etc. Beautiful inspiration :-)!

I really like the matchbox cars. What a fun idea! Do you know if they're sold anywhere?
