Collection by Type

Quick post today:   A simple idea I really love.

If you have built-in bookcases, you don't just have to stash books inside of them.  Why not display collections in great big mounds by type of collection?

Pictured here:   fishing fly baskets on top, mercury glass/trophies in the middle (and cropped on the bottom is something else...but I forget what it was).   

The mercury/silver pieces look the best with a dark backdrop, don't they?    You could paint the inside a vibrant color to have glass and lighter pieces "pop" better, too.
