MILK BOTTLES AND LETTERPRES­S DRAWERS

-

DECORATING IDEA: “Wooden crates and letterpres­s drawers are two versatile items that can add warmth and dimension to a space. I like to use crates as both containers and risers for collection displaying,” Melissa says.

TEXTURES AND TONES: Glass shines against the vintage wood crates and shoe forms in this vignette. Brighten the mood set by rustic woods with clear milk bottles, small windows, jadeite containers and greenery.

INSIGHTS: “Letterpres­s drawers are great pieces to serve as backdrops, but they can also be used to share even the tiniest of collection­s. One of these letterpres­s drawers (Hamilton) was purchased in Michigan, while the other (from France) was purchased in Italy. Stained wood can be heavy, but adding glass—in this case, clear and jadeite—adds softness to the vignette.”
