A project question and a pretty bedroom

In November, when I had very few readers, I posted pictures of some vintage pharmacy labels I picked up at Brimfield.

I still haven't done anything with them. I guess I'm kind of frozen from all the possibilities. So ... does anyone have any thoughts? I'd love to hear them. You can read the original post here.

And, just because it's not a true Friday if my mind is not wandering to thoughts of cozy bedrooms and reading by the fire, here's a picture to help keep the vision alive:

Inspired by vintage pharmacy labels

At Brimfield this September, I bought a couple of bags of vintage pharmacy labels ... in French! There are a few other random languages in the bags, too.

Here's a closer look at a couple of my favorites:

Don't you think pharmacy labels of yore were so much prettier than today's labels? Case in point:

I see these labels in a clean white bathroom with vintage details.

The bathroom above is close to what I was thinking, but the bottles in my vision are clear glass, or at least lighter tints. Kind of like this one I found on eBay:

I envision either a white porcelain sink, or one like this from American Standard:

And a built-in or stand-alone piece that looks like it might have been in an old- fashioned pharmacy completes the room.

I could also frame some of the labels. I think they would look great in a large grouping of small frames, mounted on a simple linen background.

What do you think - frames or bottles?
