Collection Gallery Inspiration

Here is another "Collection Gallery", a pleasing arrangement of small items that make a big impact. This one is unified by frame color (black, collected from vintage and discount stores) and content (botanical drawings). (Yes, it's probably hung a little too high over the sofa, buts that's a project for another day!)

      

I've always loved Victorian style scientific and botanical drawings. However, they can be monsterously expensive! I found this delightful book on Ebay  for about $10 plus shipping and used my favorite pages to fill the frames. 

      

Cost of Project: $79.00 (I paid more for the frames and book for this collection gallery)

Time Needed: 2 hours (plus shopping for frames and content)

***Side note: Yes, I too love my blue vintage sofa! I looked for years to find one that was in my price range and didn't require reupholstering as all of those tucks and tufts make it too difficult for a do-it-yourselfer. The secret? Keep trolling Craigslist and take care of your Karma!***
