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.
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.

I’ve decided to look beyond my mid century vibe and explore other styles. Elizabeth Maxon runs Elizabeth House in St. Louis, Missouri. Her apartment is amazing, her table inspiring and her small business advice sage. Elizabeth is a women of style. Don’t miss her blog.
