Postcards and photos. Turn old postcards or black and white family photographs into art. Here, six postcards depicting life on the coast as it was way back when are displayed in matching black frames. Tip: When creating an art series, tie it all together with frames and matting that are the same size or color. Sketch out a grid on the wall making sure the positioning of each frame lines up for a clean, finished product.
Tea cups. Vintage tea cups make for a refined collection. Hang them on a wall rack for an artistic display as they wait to be used, or store your valuables in them. Here, an array of mismatched cups and saucers serves as a handy jewelry trove. Tip: Second-hand stores are chockfull of individual tea cups and saucers. Buy your favorites one or two at a time to build up a stock.
