For Arts, Crafts and Collections month I've rounded up some of my favorite collections from our House Tours. I love seeing what people are passionate about collecting, what catches their eye and how they choose to display these items in their homes.
1. Sara & Jason's Terrific Toy-Tastic Home: Sara and Jason's wall display of vinyl toys is pulled together by color-coding the collection. This brings continuity and an artistic presentation to the collection.
2. LonAnne's Vintage and Modern Texas Charmer: LonAnne displays her vintage dish collection over the kitchen table with a no-frills, gallery-style placement of the pieces.
3. Shauntelle & Dave's Controlled Kitsch - Part 2: Shauntelle and Dave love to entertain guests in their tiki bar which is adorned with their much loved tiki mug collection.
4-6. Ofer & Randy's Flea Market Collections: Ofer and Randy group their kitsch-y collections throughout their home with strategic placement. As the house tour points out, the "less is more" approach need not apply here.
7 & 8. Tim's Classic Chicago Two-Flat: I love this collection of tiny pigs! Tim's display of miniature pigs and vintage suitcases shows that collections don't necessarily have to be large in size or quantity.

Nomade Express Slee...
At my local Anthropologie store, they had collections of plates displayed on a wall like above, except there were all mushed together into some sort of plate collage, with them overlapping each other.
As much as I disdain your constant posts on collecting, this is actually relevant to what AT is and is inspiring. The rest of these "collecting" posts are not.
