Creating a Vintage Coastal Display Using Beachy Collectibles

Country Cottage Charm For Beach Style Displays of Antiques and Coastal Collectibles

 What I love about the displaay this gal created at The Sandwich, Mass Flea Market is the use of a painted weathered basket to display sea shells and tins. The combination of vintage tin objects with costal collectibles makes for a very delightful cottage style look. This idea works nicely for a display in an outdoor summer Flea Market, indoor Antique booth or your beach inspired home.

Pretty Vintage Aqua And Yellow Kitchen Collectibles

Decorating Your Vintage Kitchen In Aqua And Yellow

A sweet color combination to use in your vintage style kitchen is aqua and yellow. Soft, calming and inviting, an aqua and yellow palette  was popular in the 1950s. You will also see these colors used in Cottage or Coastal style decorating. These photos were taken from my Pinterest board.
