Showcasing Your Albums

Earlier this month, Denise Gormish wrote a fantastic article about where to store your albums so that they can be enjoyed throughout your home. Her article got me thinking about where I could display albums in my house, and I came up with some ideas I wanted to share as well:

• Wall-hanging display shelf - I've found this is a great way to display mini albums or smaller themed albums.
  
  
• Podium - I'm still on the lookout for one of these, either desktop or full standing podium, but wouldn't that be a great way to display your albums? Use the lower shelves to store them, and then the top can display a most recent album in a place where people can easily flip through them. You could even add a stool for your album viewers.
  
  
• Plate rack - I don't collect plates, but I love to put framed photographs into plate racks on the wall. As I was contemplating what photographs to put into this plate rack, it dawned on me that an album might just fit. It has to be a thin one, but this theme album from a close friend of mine fits and looks great!

• Lower shelf of a console table- My entryway is screaming for a console table like this, where I would store a row of my larger albums in the bottom shelf. Then perhaps I could find a desktop podium to put on top of it for easy viewing...

Slowly, I'm finding places for all my albums. The sheer number of them has required some creative displays. But in the end, it's been nice to have them displayed in different rooms, in unique ways. Then they're looked at and enjoyed more frequently-like they should be!
