Keep Your Collection Fresh: Don't Be Afraid to Change It

Recently, Gregory pulled some of the collections that you've shared with us on the Apartment Therapy LA Group Pool. One, in particular, stuck with us...

Jek in the Box is not only a collector but a lover of the things they collect, displaying them with abandon and changing them out to suit the mood and the season. From photos to toys to gourds to vintage sheets and pillowcases, here are some of our favorites. Monthly changes ensure things never get stale.

Have fun with your own collections. After all, they're for you to enjoy and share with guests. Have you had the same display up for a while? It's time to change it around. Move it, put it in a different place, add to it. Be fearless.
