This month we're celebrating collections here at Apartment Therapy. I have to fight the urge to collect anything lovely that I find more than one of! But small collections can be just as delightful to come across in someone's home as expansive ones. Here are some of my favorite little collections found in house tours featured in the last few months.
- A small collection of ceramic cats pop on a pink wall below similar artwork in Crystal & Gavin's House for Modernist Cats (& Dogs!)
- Lovely wooden toys from Risa & Nick's Modern Architectural Rehab.
- In In Mary Roach's Nest: The Curious Charm of a Writer's Pad you'll find a unique collection of little hand soaps in the bathroom.
- A grouping of colorful bottles lives in a windowsill next to a complementary bit of stained glass in Suki's Gem On The Hill
- In Maggie & Ryan's Quietly Colorful Queen Anne Apartment you'll find a beautiful cluster of globes in the office.

That's a cute way of showing off Mark Ryden artwork. I'd be scared to put art worth that much in the bathroom if they're the real deal!
What a lovely globe collection! I have a weakness for vintage cartography as well... & repurposing it into paper cut art. In addition to old maps, I also collect fortune cookie messages, vintage buttons & pen nibs {buttons, pen nibs and fortune cookie messages etc} but i seem to develop a new vintage object obsession every month.... looking forward to a month of little collections!
The dolls hands!! 5% creepy, 95% hilarious!!
@sheschemes--- i was gonna say that, too! they must be Ryden prints...
yeah ryden originals of those pieces are all much, much larger than these repros, though I wouldn't even put prints in the bathroom, how on earth do they avoid steam and damp? It's this ongoing mystery to me, do all bathrooms in the USA have super-amazing extraction fans or do you all just have cool showers..?
Oh, I meant the prints too! Real prints of his work are so expensive!
