Selecting your collection
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Scott Antique Market convenes this weekend, and I’m itching to explore it’s dusty, crowded aisles in search of unique art or collectibles for my home. Specifically, I’d like to expand my small collection of Gibson Girl prints (by Charles Dana Gibson), especially those that first appeared in “Life Magazine” at the turn of last century.
I plan to enlarge a copy of one of my prints to create cheap, but funky wall art for my dressing area.
I’m also always on the hunt for cool porcelain plates or collections of prints, perhaps inspired by local design legend Dan Carithers. In homes such as this year’s Southern Accents Showhouse, Carithers used this simple element to create timeless style.
What do you collect to showcase your personal style? Or do you think it’s just a magnet for dust?
