This antique map display found on Craigslist is a unique way to showcase photographs, ephemera, even feathers found on a walk. What would you use it for? An idea board with fabric swatches and tearsheets? Jewelry? Flowers?
I think I may use it to place personal photos in my stair hallway...hung on the wall. Unless, of course, you have a better idea!
A great find! It has some 3D depth (the little shelves). It might be nice to intersperse photos with some memento objects, e.g. baby's first shoes, a grandmother's lace handkerchief, etc.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of this! I agree, it would be fabulous holding photographs and personal artifacts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the note you sent me. I enjoyed reading your profile :)
Andie I'm with the other gals. Maybe an alter of sorts with family pictures and crosses and interesting objects? I know you've got lots of those! *winks* Was it formerly a map display or for tourist brochures? Very interesting piece. I have an old french theater playbill display case that I use for pictures. It's also quirky cool. Vanna
ReplyDeleteI love this. I think photos interspersed with other bits and pieces would be lovely and you can change them whenever the mood takes you. You seem to be the Craigslist queen!

ReplyDeleteAbout the heart lavender pillows! I do shipp to the US. On my blog's sidebar i now have a Dawanda shop to make things easier. Maybe you want to have a look - http://www.unpeuplusjolie.blogspot.com/
I'm also on the process of making some gorgeous stuff using other scented bio essencial oil such as jasmin and mimosa!! I'll post them too.
Have a gorgeous day and thanks for stopping by Andrea!

Me again!!! sorry! but thought that if it's not toooooo big it would be gorgeous on a breakfast area with newspaper and loved magazines for a relaxing kind of thing or next to the sofa for the same purpose or if you have an outside music corner on your porch for ex, as i do, it would be very helpful and pretty!
