Vintage Delights



These two window displays were once featured at the store front of Ted Kennedy Watson, who designed them himself. He owns his own store and sells mostly home good type products. He is very passionate about what he does both and it is visible both in the products he sells and the window displays he designs. These two displays in particular caught my eye. First of all I have a love for anything that is vintage and historical. I also have a love for photography, so the display on the bottom with all of the old photographs used as a sort of wallpaper, I think is fantastic. Both of his displays are different, yet cohesive. They both give you an old time feel, but are diverse in the way they do it. The display on the top has a focus around old apothecary bottles. The numerous shapes and sizes of the bottles keep it interesting. Also the large containers on the floor go with these little bottles and the fact that the smaller bottles are on a higher level and the large ones on the ground, creates a nice balance. The other side is focused around old photography, complete with old photographs, and old camera, and an old trunk that has a reminiscent quality and you could see being filled with old photos. One of the things Watson does a great job of is balance. He uses levels really well and keeps everything displayed at dynamic angles. These window displays are quite fabulous and if I were walking by this storefront I would be drawn in by these lovely displays.
