Display Thursday: Very Vintage

Dec 1, 2011  |  Posted by: Megan Stay

I love vintage anything. My fascination grew from staring at photos of my ancestors all over my walls as a child. My mother grew up on a farm in North Dakota and continues to collect items that hearken back to her upbringing. Butter churns, mason jars, and other odds and ends.

The photo displays today all revolve around a vintage look. I love this hanging ribbon look. It definitely hearkens back to a Victorian era aesthetic. I also love that their is a mixture of standouts, framed pieces with ornate and contemporary frames. This could be used with engagement photos or wedding photos as well as family photos. I think it would also make a super cute photo booth back drop too!

This is another great way to use a collection of trays as wall decor and incorporate photoraphs. I love this idea. So simple but really great. You could modge podge the image for a permanent fixture or use my favorite craft adhesive, glue dots. The removable ones are great. I get mine at Michael’s.

The stripe wallpaper has me drooling. You know I would totally try to do this with paint. But I’m not sure I have a death wish. It would take forever!! But I love it. And I love the arrangement of the frames around the convex mirror, which also adds to the vintage feel. So pretty! I also love that the images sit flat against the ceiling. Combined with the stripes it really makes the room look exceedingly tall. Mmm, hmm.

What plans have you for your photos? Is a vintage feel in your sights?
