How can I display antiques with out spending a lot of money?
I am developing quite a collection now, and I want to figure out a way to display everything, and have plenty of room for development. Any suggestions?
Not knowing what type of antiques you are collecting I can only give you suggestions. I have two display cases. I collect thimbles so I have a case that hangs on my wall with two doors that are clear. I would also suggest a shelf or if you have a window you can always put a shelf up above it to make it look like the curtain is coming out from under it and put your collection there. Then as you build on the collection think of ways you can hang another shelf or two.Try putting up corner shelves. You can always go to a thrift store and look at shelving units or display case for sale. You might have to refinish them but the cost is way less than buy a new one.This is what you could do in a bedroom or guest room. In a living room try putting out items on a table or putting up a mantle type shelf. If you are talking big piece incorporate them into your room as fixtures. Kitchens-if you have space between the ceiling and the cabinets use it to display you items. But items that steam or grease will not harm. I have a wall that is on the other side of the stove and sink area and use it to hang pictures. The shelving can be cheap if you use you head. Look for scraps of wood or drift wood at local beaches.Go to lumber yard and ask for scrap wood. then you can sand it,and paint or varnish it for a great look. Good luck
