On Display

As the popularity of Antiques Roadshow and Ebay confirms, no hobby is hotter than collecting. Whether the subject is childhood toys, posters, shells, or doorknobs, the sky's the limit. In On Display, stylist and author Lesley Dilcock coaxes these collections from closets and boxes by providing interesting and stylish ideas for displaying them with confidence -- all showcased in Catherine Gratwicke's photographs. There are chapters on fashion and accessories, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, kitchenware, the natural world, books, glass, mirrors, pictures and frames, memorabilia, and tools and implements. The emphasis is on unusual and imaginative finds rather than precious antiques. In the second part of the book, Lesley shows you how to put together pleasing displays in every part of the home.
