Default Making Collectible Home Decor as Easy as 1-2-3

Collectible home dcor has always been around; it just takes on various
guises from time to time. You probably know of your grandmothers
collection of silverware or your mothers pretty French country
tablecloths. You may be intrigued with these collections and wondering
how to start one of your own.Its as easy as 1-2-3.One: Pick Something
You LikeIt could be as simple as pencils or as expensive as Swarovski
crystals. Whatever you choose, make sure you like it for what it is
and not just a passing fad. Start collecting a few pieces at thrift
stores, online sites or on your travels. If you want to spend big
bucks, you can get a jump start on collectible home dcor by purchasing
few or more items from a store. Many collectors however do not like
doing that as they feel that is an easy way out and only dependent on
the size of your bank account. They prefer collections that are true
to their name i.e. collected over the years and not just on one
shopping spree. They like it when each piece tells a story of its
own.Two: Spread the WordTell your friends and family about your
decision to start a home dcor collection of say tea pots or thimbles
and share some of your best finds with them. That will be hint enough
to know what to get you as presents and when an exquisite teapot
catches their fancy on a trip to Mexico.Three: Display Your
Collectible Home DcorDepending on the item, get a shelf, display
cabinet, table or book to preserve and display your treasure.
Depending on its value and breakability factor, you may want to opt
for a glass-enclosed lighted cabinet for delicate porcelain or just
your coffee table for Frogs around the World.Learn more about the
pieces you collect online or at the library so that you have
interesting tales to tell when people admire your collectible home
dcor. The main thing to remember is to stick to a theme regardless of
how wacky it is or seems to others. People have rubber ducky
collections in their kids bathrooms and Cabbage Patch Doll collections
from their childhood. Any thing can become part of your collectible
home dcor, if you collect it and integrate it in to your home.Who
knows, your great grand children may all contend for your precious
flip-flop collection which you started after reading an article on the
web!Home Decor Discount @ http://www.sogreat.biz
