My wunderkammer wanderings led me to D’Ette Cole’s site. Amazing, inspiring, at times confronting for the minimalists of you out there. If clutter is not your thing look away now.

Alex Papachristidis of Alex Papachristidis Interiors is an incredible designer. His style has been described as “a dynamic fusion of the modern and eclectic with the luxurious and traditional”. These photos from his website are absolutely FABULOUS. His designs have a Jonathan Adler playfulness to them that I just adore.

A wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, is a place to gather your treasured collections. More than that…. the weird, the wonderful, the found and discarded. Nature’s detritus or man made discards. A collection may contain the truly beautiful or the down right bizarre. This post started out as a look at how to display collections but I was quickly drawn into the wonder of the cabinet of curiosities.
