Magpies nest.......the art of putting stuff together in a way that looks undone x

Hello todays  post is about pretty and imaginative ways to display your finds. If you love fleamarkets, charity shops, thrift, have a magpie's eye then it's easy for spaces to become cluttered. 
Here are some cool ways to group, display and style eclectic groupings of objects and textiles.
Patch working hankies, scarves and random fabrics to form room dividers, curtains and bedding is fabulous. Layering pieces or grouping lots of like tones, types of object or prints is also lovely.
Make an art installation from tins, prints, coat hangers, antlers, anything.......
Cover furniture in pretty mismatched florals or geometrics, tile a wall with random printed tiles, make a wall of old sepia photographs. Pile things such as books, suitcases, trunks. 
I'm definitely at the eccentric end when it comes to displaying my found treasure.......I hope this gives you some good ideas and inspiration. Xx

  1. Thanks for the inspiration...I love picking bits and pieces up on my travels and never quite know what to do with them. For example, I bought a lovely piece of fabric, but it is stuck in a cupboard! x
