Hanging out: fashion accessories & decor

Posted on 11:02 by kumar
There's no rule saying accessories that go on your body can't be used as decorating accessories.

This isn't the best display I've ever done so let's just call it a work-in-progress. I hate hiding away all my pretty purses, so I simply hang 'em on my bedroom wall to provide easy access and jazz up an otherwise blank space.

I also hang all my thrifty chains from wee hooks. Keeps them neat and they don't get tangled.






Again, the pretty yet functional items in your life needn't be hidden away.

Incorporating accessories into decor can be as easy as plopping a retro hat into a tableau or using clutch purses as bookends.











I'm an easy-peasy decorator, so I just like hanging things.

Retro belts (that I use as necklaces) hanging from doorknobs.
