Do you have a collection of things that you love? If you do, is your collection displayed? For many people collecting things is an art in itself, with the joy of searching for that new piece being almost as important as actually receiving that piece.

There are a large number of people who enjoy collecting wishing wells like the one pictured here. This one is a Capodimonte porcelain wishing well and the collections of these pieces have stood the test of time.

Capodimonte porcelain pieces are made in Italy. And are still made by hand. Yes, they use molds for much of the work, but there is no automation involved in the process. Each piece is done individually.

That is why Capodimonte has stood the test of time. Collectors have been collecting Capodimonte for centuries now, with the original pieces being stored in major museums around the world.

If you have not started a collection yet, take a look at Capodimonte They offer many home decorations that are unique.

Have you ever thought about adding some wall decor that is designed to go over, or in your doorways?

Pictured here is an interesting piece that can be added to your door for added appeal. This piece has little feet on it so it can sit atop your doorway. There are other pieces of door decor that get screwed directly into the inside of the doorway.

The door decor comes in several styles & sizes http://homedecor123.com/Wall-Decor/Wall-Decor-for-Doors.html and can easily be added to any door for an original look.

Some of this door decor is metal, while some is wrought iron. Check out this unique decor here. http://homedecor123.com/Wall-Decor/Wall-Decor-for-Doors.html

Searching for just the right wall decor for your home can be a daunting task. Very often people overlook a most common wall decor item. That is.... a wall clock.

If properly placed, a wall clock can bring your entire room together.

The wall clock featured today is Italian made, and is from the Capodimonte porcelain home decorations collection. Since Capodimonte does not make a lot of wall clocks, if you can get one, you know you have a treasure.

Living room design can be challenging if you want to achieve the traditional look. Traditional home decor is both timeless and elegant.

Fabrics and colors play a key role in establishing the traditional decor. Deep rich colors in your furniture, walls and window decor are the easy way to accent this look.

Wood floors of course, are the best way to go, however, if you have a light colored carpet, then just add a richly colored throw rug under your coffee table.

Elegant tapestries add to the designer feel of the room, as do intriguing lamps and lighting. Add a few decorative pillows on the sofa, some interesting vases and accessories should complete the room.

If you are not very experienced yet at designing your own rooms, try to think in pairs. A pair of lamps, or a pair of vases. When you add home accents in pairs it gives a finished look to the room.

Many of us already have, or have thought about, using decorative plates for our wall decor. Not every plate quite meets the standards of ''collectible plates'.

This one does! This decorative plate is from the Capodimonte Home Decorations Collection. This wall decor plate features elegant porcelain flowers set upon and equally stunning porcelain plate.

The size is 13" Diam. X 4" Deep and retails for $ 114.00. Seem a little pricey? Not if you consider that over time, Capodimonte pieces go up in price. What you are actually paying for is the name Capodimonte. Capodimonte home decorations have stood the test of time for centuries, with the original pieces being kept in major museum's around the world.

It is difficult to beat the value of Capodimonte.

Adding a wrought iron floor candle holder to your home adds a sense of warmth and class that is difficult to match.

Most of us love candles. So it stands to reason that if we love candles, then amazing candle holders are sure to follow. And floor candle holders, or floor candelabra add a special sense of "oomph!" to your decor.

Floor candle holders come in a wide variety of styles, but I have found that wrought iron or metal floor candle holders blend with most any home decor. They make a strong, bold statement when placed in the fore-front of your room, yet can also be an understated home accent when placed behind a sofa, a set of tables, or a floral arrangement.

Wrought iron or metal floor candle holders have that unique ability to do whatever you want them to do.

When I think of wall sconces, I think of wall sconces that hold candles. They are generally made of wrought iron, metal, porcelain etc....

But there are also wall sconces that hold live flowers and dried arrangements. I think the prettiest of these wall vases are the ones that are made of wrought iron or metal and have glass inserts, or metal containers for your flowers.

These wall sconces are great for framing out a picture, or staggering two or three on your wall. The great thing about these wall sconces is that they even look great when there is nothing in them !

Use your imagine and picture where you would them on your wall. These wall sconces, or also known as wall sconces are very versatile and add depth and texture to your wall.

Let's talk about lighting today. When you think about the various types of lighting in your home you generally think about the lighting fixtures. Table lamps come to my mind immediately.

Table lamps are great because they supply a source of task lighting, accent lighting and ambient lighting.

Think about the style of your home and your own personal style. Then think about what type of Table lamp reflects both of those. Then start searching for a table lamp that is both unusual and interesting.

Whether your style is modern, classical, traditional, victorian or country, select a lamp that reflects who you are and want you want to become.

But just any old table lamp won't quite do. You need to get creative and show off both your personality and your homes personality.

Have you ever looked at your walls and wondered if there was any thing unique you could put on it that would be decorative yet also add some storage space? I certainly know that I have.

Wall decor can be one of the more challenging aspects of decorating your home. Recently I discovered a metal shelf that adds style to a room, yet also provides a place to show off some of your collectibles.

This metal shelf would be perfect just about any where. The benefit of a metal shelf is that it blends well with almost any decor. It looks good on white and colored walls. If you wanted to, a metal shelf can be easily painted to match your decor.

Just get a can of spray paint in the color of your choice and give it the once over. When it is dry, add a second coat of spray paint. If you decide that you don't like the color you painted it, or if you change the basic colors in your home decor, then just paint it again.

Add a couple of candles, a small plant, or some books to this metal shelf and it will look like an interior designer came to your home.

A simple tip for keeping your wrought iron looking great may sound a little strange, but it works.

When you first receive your wall decor, or any wrought iron, or metal piece for that matter, give it a couple of light coats of clear spray paint. This will help protect metal or wrought iron from getting rusty or changing colors.

Now I know your first instinct will be to think about getting rustoleum paint. However, that is not necessary. Just go to any department store that carries paint products and get a cheap can of clear spray paint.

Thoroughly clean and wipe down your piece, then give it a light coat of paint. When that first coat dries, lightly paint it again.

You will end up with a piece of metal or wrought iron for the indoors, or outdoors, that will last longer.

How many of us love a well organized home that says "character & class" when you walk in the door? I think the answer would be that most of us desire that unique home with stylish decor that matches our personalities, and shows off our home decorating panache.

Here is one of the more unique plant stands and pedestals that I have come across in a while. It is an elephant plant stand with a matching planter.

This little elephant plant stand is not so little. He stands about 25" tall, but isn't he just adorable?

Since he (or is it she?) is made of porcelain, dirt could easily stain the inside of the planter so I would definitely keep my plant in a separate pot, then insert the entire pot, and plant into the planter itself.

I can just picture a wonderfully large fern plant inside the planter, with the entire elephant plant stand and planter placed just inside a foyer ready to meet and greet your guests.

Can you imagine the squeals of joy this elephant planter would provide? What a great conversation piece!

I just love a fireplace! So mesmerizing are the flickering flames that my body relaxes from its
hectic day time schedule and transports me into a peaceful state of mind. My body unbends and my mind unwinds for a more relaxing evening.

Using my fireplace tools, I poke and prod at the fire, becoming more and more peaceful as I do so. Adding more wood when it's necessary, and sometimes even when it isn't, just to continue the emotional tranquility provided to me...... Read More

Metal Shelves can be successfully used as wall decor. When many of us think of shelves, we think of shelves that are simply a place to store things. However, there are many metal shelves that can be used to enhance your wall decor.

These decorative shelves come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Some of the metal shelves come with decorative doors that are put there simply to enhance the appearance of the shelf. Some metal shelves come with mirrors that help show off your collectible treasures.

Metal shelving is not simply what you put in your garage to hold those cans of spray paint, screws, and nails anymore. Many come with lovely designs imprinted into them, and elegant curves that will enhance both your wall decor and your home decor.

Choosing wall decorations can be difficult. Candle sconces can be found in most lighting stores. Mirrors can also be found in most decorating stores. However, sometimes having the two combined offers a simple solution to your wall decorations.

When you use a combination of mirrors and candle sconces, you are serving two purposes at the same time. The mirrors are functional with or without the candles lit.

Yet when you want more ambiant lighting, simply light the candles. The mirrors will reflect the soft light of the candles giving your room a more soft romantic touch. Not to mention the metal wall grilles in between these mirors.

This wall decoration is one of the simplest ideas, and will solve several problems at the same time.

Adding the home accents and accessories to your decor may seem more challenging than it actually is.

Accenting your home should first begin with you. It is not just about your likes and your dislikes, it's also about any collections you may have. No collections yet? Well, collections are easier to start than you think.

Just think about the things that you are naturally attracted to. I love roses, so I began collecting Capodimonte roses. You? Are you attracted to clocks? Spherical things like decorative balls? Figurines? Keys? There are tons of things out there to collect. Simply begin noticing what things you are attracted to.

Many times people are attracted to certain things but hold off from getting them because they ask themselves 'what am I going to do with it?'

Decorating your home should be about showcasing who you are. Your home is a very personal place. It is where you can relax and be yourself. So show off who you are by surrounding yourself with the things you love.

Begin your own Capodimonte Rose collection.
