SHOW OFF!
Whether beautifully aged and worn, or brand new, we’re loving a provincialstyle kitchen dresser or library unit that offers up an abundance of practical storage you can turn into display. The secret to an engaging showcase is to group like elements, for there is power in numbers. How good do tea towels or napkins look stacked in a low wicker basket or a large vase? Or what about vintage boles or bud vases arranged en masse in a bowl or on a cake stand? So many good ideas for you to steal!
