How To: Collect Like a Pro

I've spent a massive amount of time lately trying to clear through my things and sift through what I don't "need." But then I see a picture like this and I'm reminded that amassing a collection of designer, vintage and antique finds over the years can be quite appealing. So how can someone as clutter-phobe as me do it? By designating a single space for the collection. Place a mirrored tray atop an otherwise stark vanity and pile your bracelets and assorted gems all within its confines. That way it's still somewhat organized but you have an allotted space for the "chaos."
