Decorating with Collections

Q: Can I Use My Collections When I Decorate?

If you're like many people, you like to collect odd things like old photos, paperweights, Hummels, or imported beer cans. Now that you've done the packrat thing, we see no reason not to incorporate these treasures into your decorating scheme. Nicola and Irwin, our Design2Share co-hosts, take you inside a home proudly displaying collectibles to cover a few decorating basics: how to use collections to express your personality, how to entertain with collections, using flea markets and eBay to add and subtract to your collections, how to group collections for best display, and how collections can enhance your home's color scheme and style. Irwin also waxes poetic about collectible insects, so please don't miss the buzz!

Wonderful finds here! Also, I found something interesting I thought I would share. A way of displaying both photos and your family name in a very personalize way. There’s a website called AlphabaetPIX where you can create a word or name using elegant black & white photos of architecture and nature. This is possible because the photos are shot in such a way that they also form the shape of a letter of the alphabet. After you type in your name on the homepage, the next page displays a frame with blank windows where your photos will go. You click on these one at a time for each letter in your name, and are given a number of photo letter choices from which to pick to fill your frame. The artwork can be designed entirely by you, online, in minutes. You can even see your final design on the website.
You really have to see it/design one to get how lovely/cool/personal this is.
Check out the concept here: http://www.alphabetpix.com

Here's more information from the website,
AlphabetPIX - the hottest new idea in NAME/WORD ART. Unique personalized name art YOU CREATE with Photos That Look Like Letters – and in just 3 easy steps online. Create any name, word or saying you can think of with over 600+ stunning photos in BW & Sepia of architecture, nature and the world around us. Symbols, Numbers and Hearts are now available too.
Soooo personal and sooooo absolutely beautiful on the wall, a keepsake treasured for years to come.
Most people create their artwork with their last name in the frame, though the possibilities are endless—Words to inspire like “Believe, Love, Faith”, a wedding gift with the couple’s surname or “Forever”, a housewarming gift, a child’s name for their room or the family name hung over the fireplace—an heirloom loved for generations…

Enjoy!
