Have you ever found a vintage item you just love, but can't figure out how to display it so you actually get to look at it often? These ladies present a few solutions:
Jan Ely of Little Pink Houses put these aprons to work as curtains in her kitchen.
And Sherry Williams of Sherry's Rose Cottage displays this vintage prom dress in her dining room. It's on a wire dress form and she's added matching vintage gloves and a hat.
Isn't this better than stashing these finds in a closet or in drawers? Aprons and prom dresses may not be your thing, but there might just be something that you've got tucked away that would make a great "statement piece" - that that says something about you in your home.
Anyone got any other ideas out there for displaying favorite finds?
I'd love to hear more ideas for future I Love These Ideas! Sunday columns.

Here's an idea close to home...my mother suggests re-using an item. This is a mailbox that she used at her previous home. She didn't need it at her new house, so she stores face clothes in it instead. Great idea!
